Make a basket for Easter eggs with your own hands. DIY Easter egg baskets! (ideas and master classes)

Everyone good day! Preparations for Easter are in full swing, the sun is shining brightly outside, the birds are singing, in general the mood is lifted and you want to sing and, of course, create. And they will help us in this case. Today let's make another souvenir in which you can easily put Easter eggs and even put a hen and chicks in it. We are talking about baskets.

I think that you have already learned how to decorate, found the most suitable way for yourself and painted them somehow in a special way this 2019. After all, doing the same thing every year gets boring, you want variety, don’t you?

As usual, I went and strolled through the Internet and what I found there, and in general from various magazines and newspapers, I will show you today, I think you are all for it! By the way, you can also write what else you would like to see in my next articles.

The first thing that comes to my mind is that you can make such a beauty out of paper or cardboard. Or you can cheat a little more, using a lid or something similar as a basis. The box will turn out colorful and original, and most importantly, you can make it in a couple of minutes.

We will need:

• colored paper (can be replaced with office paper) - 2 pcs.
• openwork napkin - 1 pc.
• stationery knife
• satin or other decorative tape- 1 PC.
• Hochland processed cheese lid

Stages of work:

1. Take sheets of paper and you need to make them square and then follow these steps which you see in these images.

2. In my opinion, it looks very charming and gentle. Can you imagine, if you put more paint in there, it will definitely be cool!

These cockerels have sunk into my soul, this year we’ll do just such a cool little thing with our little one, do you like it?

Even an ordinary napkin or cloth can be folded like this in an unexpected way, such as rabbits.

You can take any idea as a basis and decorate it with corrugated paper.

Either go the original route, for example, find a wooden ring, or make it out of thick cardboard, tie it with thread and decorate it with something, even feathers can come in handy. And place the testicles. This will make a kind of modest stand, and it also looks very good!

And if you are friends with fabric and are head over heels in love with it, then perhaps you will be hooked by this idea from foamiran.

We will need:

• foamiran
• glue gun
• scissors

Stages of work:

1. Make flowers from this fabric, you can take any shape, or like this:

3. Make the base itself green. These will be the leaves.

4. Then follow these steps. You need to buy or make a bow and a handle yourself.

The most favorite activity for kids is playing with plasticine or you can use play dough. First roll it into a bun, and then use flagella to mold it as shown in these instructions.

There are many options, you can come up with something unusual yourself.

You have no idea, but you can even use newspaper strips or paper from old unwanted magazines.

Remember, in childhood we made bookmarks for books this way, this is exactly the same technique.

This is what it might look like if you show up at someone’s house with an Easter egg.

And one more paperwork.

Or consider this option.

They are even made from twine, hiding it in multi-colored fabric.

It turns out that such a seemingly ordinary egg box can also be used to make another souvenir.

Or this one with grass, you need to cut the egg mold.

Cut out imitation grass from any material or paper. You can also decorate a living one.

Place flowers.

And this is what happens, cool!

Like this interesting idea from threads and sticks.

You can take regular threads, preferably thicker ones, and wrap them around any glass or container.

Or you can make a laying hen. The base is a candy box.

The fence is made of ordinary paper strips.

You will be very surprised if you look at this miracle.

This beaded craft looks fantastically elegant and beautiful.

Making a craft from newspaper tubes

It’s not difficult to learn how to do this, so if you like this idea, then go ahead and sing.

Sincerely, Ekaterina Mantsurova

Good afternoon everyone. In our city, winter still doesn’t want to go away, and the weather does not indulge in the warmth and gentle spring sun. How are you doing with spring?! After all, Easter is very soon and I really want the snow to melt and the willows to bloom.

And since I started talking about this holiday, I think you guessed that we will talk about preparation for this bright event. Most likely, you already know how to paint everything, we also discussed the topic, and even this year you will bake it yourself and not buy it)) So what else can we talk about?? And that's what it's about!! Today we will make very beautiful baskets; they can serve as table decorations and as original stands for paints.

As always, I looked through what the Internet offers us and selected for you the best works in different techniques designs and made from a variety of materials. So get ready, it will be interesting.

And we'll start with difficult master class, which was prepared by Marina Ilyina. I’ll say right away that the work can be done by an adult or someone who is already well versed in the technique of weaving from tubes. I suggest you make a very elegant basket in the shape of a chicken. Such work would be very appropriate as a gift.

You will need: newsprint, glue pencil (or PVA), scissors, knitting needles, doofe, water, stain, rope, braid, cardboard, wire.

Work process:

1. Take newspaper paper, clean. We will make tubes out of it. Cut the newspaper into A3 sheets and cut lengthwise into four strips. The width of the strip should be 7.5 cm. Using a 1.5 mm knitting needle, wind the tubes very tightly so that they are of the same thickness along the entire length. Glue the tubes together with glue.

2. Then paint the prepared tubes with colorless impregnation dufa + water + stain. Dufa about 3 tbsp. spoons per half liter of water with stain.

3. Now do the following:

• braid four pairs of tubes with a simple rope;
• extend the working tube;
• if the tube is thick, then make a dent with your fingernail and fold the tube, then put on a new one;
• the connection must be hidden under the working tube.

4. Take a thick knitting needle and push the posts apart. Braid rope around each post. Next, weave the bottom to the desired size and take the desired shape.

5. Take a cotton braid and tie the shape to the weave so it won't slip. Next, weave several rows with a rope, and then one row with a rope of three tubes. And to create an even gap, we use a simple device - cardboards, which are fastened with a stapler, of the required height, put them on the racks.

For further weaving, you should have a fairly large distance between the posts, so add posts in each gap, simply inserting them between the weave and the form, then simply cut them off.

6. Weave a rope from three tubes, placing them at the beginning of the row behind the posts. And weave the row to the end. When you have one unbraided post left, take the nearest working tube, weave it in front of the two, behind the third. And then weave the second one from us, too.

8. You must complete a row, and then make an imperceptible transition to the next one, just like in a rope of three. It turns out that when you have one unbraided stand left, take the working tube closest to you, and then the second.

In the second row, do exactly the same. Add another working tube and weave a rope of three. Before doing this, take out the shape and weave a row, pulling the shape a little to give it a rounded shape. To do this, point the racks slightly inward.

9. The row must be completed without changing anything. Next we will fill the tubes. So, tuck the one farthest from you under the first working tube, with which the row began. Then tuck the second one from you under the two tubes at the beginning of the row. And the one that was closest to you should remain in place.

10. Now glue and carefully cut. And remove the tail from the inside. Glue and cut again. Thread the ponytails from the first rope of three.

12. Glue everything and trim it so that all the ends are hidden behind the weaving. Now take the wire, we will weave the chest and head. Take 9 racks, cut 4 racks through one. There will be 5 left. Insert a wire into the outermost and middle ones.

13. You need to weave with one working tube, gluing it at the beginning of the row. Use calico weaving. Then weave at the narrowing, and when the distance between the posts becomes minimal, weave the middle three tubes together.

Now weave on three stands. If the racks run out, extend them, while cutting the racks diagonally for further extension.

14. After a few rows, cut off the extra two posts in the middle. Braid the narrow neck-head. Coat this neck with glue and twist it tightly and secure it with something to dry. Then move on to the handle. So, after the breast, cut out 4 racks through one.

15. We will weave the handle on three stands. Cut the wire to the full length of the handle and insert it into the posts. Place the tubes on the wire, thus extending the base for the handle. Braid the handle according to the photo below.

16. Weave a handle of the required length and coat the posts very well with glue, then drag them into place from the opposite side so that the posts from the bowl remain on the wrong side, then cut them off. Pull the handle along all four rows and trim off the excess from the bottom.

Braid the ponytail in the same way. Each feather should be on three posts, into which you also insert the wire.

17. Remove the cardboard from the gap and cut off the posts that were placed in the gaps. Add elegance to the chicken.

18. Make quilling strips. Paint them with a brush, let them dry a little, and then wind them onto a thick knitting needle (3 mm). Twist into any patterns and fill in the empty spaces, glue on the beak and comb.

And here are some other wonderful chickens you can weave:

And in this version there is also an apple, a kind of little box.

Isn't it really indescribable beauty!! Those who have been familiar with this technique for a long time will cope with such weaving with a bang.

Master class on making a basket with hares

Now I would like to invite you to make an original basket with Easter bunnies from fabric. And I present to your attention the step-by-step manufacturing process.

You will need: fabric different colors, template, threads, scissors, cardboard, PVA glue, padding polyester, pencil, acrylic paints, brush, ribbons.

Work process:

1. Save and print the template.

2. Along the lobar you need to cut out 4 strips:

• 2 parts for the top of our bunnies (10x73 cm);
• 2 parts for the bottom (7x73 cm);
• 2 parts for the basket handle: 5x55 cm (from “inner” and “outer” fabric).

Allowances for these parts are already included and are 0.5 cm.

3. Take cardboard and cut out a circle with a diameter of 19 cm. This will be the bottom. Place it on the “outer” fabric, trace and cut with an allowance of about 2.5 cm. The edge does not have to be even. And after that, place it on the “inner” fabric, trace and cut out with an allowance of about 1 cm.

4. Glue the padding polyester to the cardboard circle on all sides and place it under a press. And after drying, trim off the excess padding, leaving about 0.3 cm.

5. Now stitch the top parts of the bunnies together with the bottom parts. Allowance 0.5 cm. Smooth the seam.

6. Trace the hares according to the template, retreating 2 mm from each other. There should be 10 animals in total. In this case, draw a “side” for the first and last ones, and only the heads for the rest. Up to the seam line.

7. Sew the heads along the drawn lines. Use curly scissors to trim the excess fabric close to the stitching. In the right places, namely between the ears, between the bunnies and in the places where the ears go into the head, leave notches.

8. Iron everything. Place vertical stitches between the animals: from the horizontal seam to the bottom edge. Use a simple pencil to outline your future nose. Use acrylic paints to paint eyes and nose. Tie knots on the ears with regular thread.

9. Cheeks can be painted with regular eye shadow or blush. Fill the figures tightly with padding polyester. Place a stitch along the bottom edge and overcast the edge.

10. Decorate the top seam with ribbon, braid or lace.

11. Using a hidden seam, connect our bunnies into a circle.

12. Now let's finish the bottom. Take a circle of large diameter and place basting stitches close to the edge, and at the circle of “inner” fabric, fold the seam allowance and secure it.

13. Place a cardboard-synthetic padding blank on the circle of “outer” fabric and pull the thread. Carefully tuck the padding polyester inside, trying to stay free.

14. Place the inner circle and sew it with blind stitches.

15. Sew the bunnies to the bottom using hidden stitches.

16. This is what you should get.

17. Now let's sew the handles. Take the strips cut out for the handles. Fold them in half lengthwise and stitch at a distance of 0.5 cm from the edge. At the same time, also sew one short section on both strips.

18. Turn them inside out and fill them with filling, and then sew them together, braiding them. Tuck the ends inside the edges and sew them up. Attach the finished handle to the basket.

19. Tie bows from satin ribbon on the ears and handle.

Well, how do you like this option?? I think it's incredibly beautiful!! And by the way, if you read the article to the end, you will see more great ideas for Easter baskets made of fabric and felt. So stay until the finale))

Compared to the first option, when making a cardboard basket there is no need to cut out corner elements. Here you just need to make cuts along the lines.

The central three squares, placed horizontally, remain unchanged. Along the remaining lines you need to make cuts. So, only four cuts will need to be made. The outer parts are folded and fixed to the base with glue. Of course, if desired, you can use a stapler as a fastening element. The main thing is that the staples are not noticeable, otherwise it will ruin the aesthetic appearance of the product. For such a basket you can make either one or two handles.

Making a vintage basket(MK)

For experienced needlewomen, making a basket in a vintage style would be a good option. This will create original gift loved ones for the holiday.

You will need some materials:

• thick paper and pages from an unnecessary book;
• ground coffee;
• brushes and glue;
• ropes for making handles;
• ornaments for decorating the basket.

1. Paper being prepared , it is better to take old children's publications. They used fairly thick paper, which will make it possible to make a fairly stable and reliable basket.

2.The paper ages . To do this, you just need to paint the sheets with brewed coffee.. Even a child can easily cope with such a task. Once the paper is covered in coffee, it should be allowed to dry. At the end the sheets will turn a coffee brown color. The coloring will be uneven, which will give the feeling that the paper for the basket is old. If the blanks are not as dense as you would like, then you need to glue several sheets together. The basket must be able to support the egg without collapsing.

3.When the paper is ready, you can start cutting . The work can be easily done with your own hands. Of course, if you want to create a large basket, then the development needs to be applied along certain sizes. This will allow you to make a more even and beautiful basket. On small products, deviations and irregularities will not be so visible.

4. It is also necessary in parallel prepare two identical circles , which will hide these irregularities.

5. Undercuts and bends of the workpiece are performed along the drawn lines. The elements are glued to the base of the basket.

6. A circle is glued to the top of the mount, which is first folded in half. Thus, the base of the basket can be considered ready. All that remains is to make small holes and secure the handles.

7. Better as handles use old rope. It is inserted into the hole and tied in a knot.

Fabric and paper products are used as decoration. The most popular decoration in vintage style are flowers. This idea is worth using especially when really beautiful and unique baskets for Easter eggs are created with your own hands from paper.

But where should we put everything? My dears, an Easter basket will help you out. It will collect all the Easter symbols in one place, and can also act as a present for relatives and friends.

We are used to giving treats by taking them out of a package. And it's not always convenient. Therefore, think that you can make a separate box for each family and collect treats in it in advance. And then give it as a gift, I think that your relatives and friends will appreciate such a gesture of attention.

And you can make a stand from whatever you have on hand! It can be textile, paper and even plastic. Intrigued? Then let's get creative.

Plastic bottles only at first glance seem like useless, outdated garbage. In fact, in skillful hands they are transformed. For example, look at what crafts amateurs create from them.

Today I will share with you some ideas for coasters in which you can beautifully place eggs, candies, candles and even Easter bunnies.

We will need:

• plastic bottle,
• scissors,
• hot glue,
• acrylic paint,
• decor,
• acrylic lacquer.

The base of the stand consists of the bottom of the bottle. We cut it off, not forgetting to leave two vertical strips that will serve as handles.

Using scissors, we will beautifully cut out the ornament along the edge of the bottom.

Let's paint the outside of the workpiece acrylic paint, let's let it dry well. And then we fix the paint with acrylic varnish.

We connect the handles with hot glue. So that this joint is not visible, we decorate it with a flower.

Now all that remains is to decorate the blank.

Another interesting idea from a bottle. At school we made coasters like this out of plastic and colored paper. But you can use felt instead.

I also came across an interesting idea for such rabbits. Even a preschooler can easily make this craft!

It is not necessary to make a stand; you can simply decorate the jar itself beautifully.

It is better to stick the muzzle on the bottle, because the marker can easily be erased from it.

Quail eggs will be stored very beautifully in it. They are small and will easily fit into the neck.

Origami egg cup

If you only have a sheet of paper at hand, then the origami technique will come to the rescue. It is loved by both children and adults and allows you to create wonderful things. Remember the one they let in during breaks at school? So, since those years we have become familiar with this technique.

In the bottom picture I give step by step description work process.

It’s better to take a double-sided sheet, there are some for both the printer and for creativity. Look in office supply stores.

Crochet basket: diagram and description

Knitted baskets always create a very homely and cozy mood. They can be used not only as a gift, but also as decoration.

I suggest watching a video that describes the entire knitting process step by step.

I also love the idea of ​​crocheting with jersey fabric. This fabric yarn is easy to make; many people became familiar with it in childhood, when they saw their grandmother knitting rugs for the hallway.

The fabric is taken and cut along its entire length into strips of equal width. The edges of the strips are tied, but to make it look neater, it is stitched. And the knitting process begins according to the chosen pattern. Most often, only single crochet is used.

And now ready-made knitted yarn is on sale! You need to choose a large hook for it. So he can grab the thread.

And the product also looks very beautiful when it contains two colors of yarn.

You can also knit a stand for each testicle.

And for the craftswomen, I found this picture. I think it will deprive many needlewomen of sleep. But, if you look closely, you can see that it consists of two circles of different diameters. And you can repeat it not only by crocheting, but also using any fabric.

Master class with paper hares with a template

Of course, with the kids we will make a paper box where we will put an egg and candy for all our friends. But I won’t print out a color template, I’ll make it a plain white one so that the kids can use their imagination and paint the bunnies with paints.

And here is the diagram itself.

Bend all the figures along the bottom line of the base.

Then you make cuts on the upper legs; you need to insert the adjacent leg into the cut.

Here's another interesting Easter bunny idea.

The template consists of two parts. The edges on which the dotted line is drawn must be bent and glued together.

Well, a simple square stand for those who don’t want to create animals, but prefer something more classic and elegant.

Draw 9 squares on a piece of paper. The squares all have the same sides. Bend along the lines, as in the origami technique, and then cut through the middle lines of the two outer rows. Now all that remains is to roll the workpiece.

And also a children's craft made from paper and toilet paper rolls.

We will need:

• a sheet of colored double-sided paper,
• sleeve,
• PVA glue,
• scissors.

Place the sheet horizontally and draw parallel stripes 1 centimeter wide.

Not reaching the edge 4 centimeters, cut the breakages along the lines.

We make a mark on the sleeve at a distance of 4 centimeters from the edge, draw a line and cut off this edge.

Lubricate the sleeve with glue and glue our “fence” along the entire length.

If you have any paper left over, cut it off.

Now we glue the tip of each strip to its base, forming a loop.

All that remains is to glue the handle from a long strip of paper of the same color.

Another idea for an interesting basket made of corrugated paper or cardboard, from which the top paper layer has been removed.

You will need six strips of the same length and width.

From one you make a circle, to which we glue the other two crosswise.

Then glue two more, but diagonally.

Attach the handle and decor to the craft.

Fabric basket with bunnies with pattern

Also, let's look into any housewife's cabinet, and there we will find a lot of pasta of different shapes. So they also make excellent crafts, can you imagine? Especially if you use several different types and form them into beautiful patterns.

So, my dears, with a little imagination you can find a very exciting activity. It is only at first glance that it seems that preparing for Easter is simple; in fact, there is room to roam around and show your creativity.

Happy holiday to you, all the light and sunshine to you and your home!

Easter - all Christians look forward to this day with special trepidation. The brightest and purest holiday of Easter is celebrated on the same day by both Catholics and Orthodox Christians. Various types of Easter souvenirs will traditionally appear in stores, but why not try to make them yourself? After all, Easter crafts made by yourself are not much inferior to store-bought counterparts.

There are many wonderful Easter ideas, many of which can be done by the whole family, even involving small children in needlework. Making your own crafts for Easter can be accompanied by stories about the history of this holiday.

The symbolism of the holiday is very important. Traditionally, its symbols are something that in one way or another means the renewal of life - these are Easter streams, Light is the Easter fire and Life itself (Easter cakes, eggs and rabbits).

Easter eggs are the most common holiday symbol that marks the victory of life over death. Traditionally, they should be red, but today eggs are decorated in every way. But it still has red color great importance. After all, according to legend. when Mary Magdalene came to the ruler Tiberius to report the miraculous resurrection of Christ and brought him an egg as a gift, he said: “This is impossible, just as it is impossible for this egg to turn red.” And the egg turned red in the hands of Tiberius! Since then, red has meant the victory of life over death, renewal.

For more than a century, this tradition has been alive: sending beautiful Easter cards. They depict not only the symbols of the holiday, but also all the beauty of spring blossoms. And also cute chickens, bunnies, flowers, Easter cakes.

There are a lot of options for Easter egg decor. They depend on what materials are used: paper, embroidery, just threads or beads. But first you need to prepare it.

Preparation for Easter egg

The egg-shaped blank can be:

• wooden blank
• foam blank
• blank made from natural material
• non-standard blanks

Wooden egg blank

Perhaps the most convenient would be a foam blank. And all because it holds its shape perfectly without being too hard. You can easily stick pins, etc. into it.

Styrofoam egg blank

But the good thing about making Easter crafts with your own hands is that even the blank can be made from scrap materials!

In the most ordinary raw egg we have to make two small holes: at the top - no more than 2 mm, and at the bottom - about 5 mm in diameter. For this purpose we need an awl or a fairly thick needle. After these procedures, the white and yolk will easily pour out from below. All you have to do is wash the shell and dry it.

A plastic egg from the well-known children's chocolate delicacy can also be used as a blank - it is quite possible to braid it with beads or tie it.

Easter eggs made of beads

Beaded eggs are distinguished by their elegance and always attract attention. This is quite painstaking, delicate work, but the result is always impressive. We need to weave a special pattern, and then carefully transfer it to the egg, onto which we have previously applied a thermal sticker. But if you have not done beadwork before, it will be a little difficult, although such a detailed master class as this will be an excellent help in your first creative experience of this kind.

Easter eggs with embroidery

Why not break away from the 3D egg standard by making a flat pendant with embroidery? It looks very cool, original, and I can’t say that the work is difficult to do. IN detailed master class describes how to embroider and assemble such an unusual egg. The only difficulty, perhaps, will be that the embroidery itself will take some time. But the result is worth it!

You can still stay with the traditional idea of ​​a voluminous egg, and in this case, Krestik recommends paying attention to the master class on creating. Only instead of Christmas ball we will use an egg-shaped blank. Rest assured, the souvenir will be very delicate, everyone will want to take a closer look at it, or even become the owner of such beauty.

Easter eggs made of felt and fleece

If you do this unusual gift for Easter with your own hands, rest assured that it will be appreciated. It can even act as a talisman, because souvenirs made from these materials always look bright and unusual.

And, by the way, you can definitely involve children in preparing this souvenir. The main requirement is accuracy, but there will be no difficulties in the process of making such an egg, everything is extremely simple. However, judge for yourself by watching the master class “Easter eggs made of felt - a wonderful souvenir on a bright day!”

Garland of eggs made from felt

All you have to do is stock up on these incredibly useful materials for handicrafts, and then the work will go like clockwork.

Knitted Easter eggs

Even if you know little about knitting, you will be able to make beautiful knitted Easter eggs. It is enough to pick up a hook, bright yarn and master the technique of single crochet.

Of course, there are more complicated options. More experienced knitters will probably want to attach a bright flower with a beautiful button in the core to an egg already knitted in a simple way. But you will have to work hard to create it, although this is not so difficult to do.

Easter eggs “dressed” in openwork cobwebs look very cool. This is a gentle, delicate, and not at all difficult job. The master class with the beautiful name “Lace Splendor” describes in detail all the moments of making this handmade souvenir.

Also very interesting option souvenir - such a hand-made Easter gift will appeal to many. In order to make it, we need:

• foam blank
• silk or cotton white threads
• PVA glue
• pins
• polyethylene film
• decor details

First, we cover the foam blank with polyethylene. This is necessary so that our threads do not stick to the foam and can subsequently be removed without difficulty. Then we need to very carefully stick the needles into the workpiece. One row will be along the edge of the future window, and the second row will go along the oval of the Easter egg.

There will no longer be a window in the second half, so we will make a row of needles exclusively along the oval of the egg.

The halves are made separately from each other!

We soak the threads in PVA glue and wrap them around our workpiece. It is better to wrap not randomly, but following a zigzag pattern through the pins of the outer and inner rows.

When the wrapping is finished, the threads can be covered with glue a second time. Next, wait for the workpiece to dry thoroughly. As soon as this happens, we very, very carefully remove the pins, and then remove the half from the workpiece.

We make the second half using a similar principle. Now you need to connect them to each other. You can tie them with a satin ribbon or secure them with a hot gun.

It would be great if you put a fluffy miniature chicken or rabbit inside such a delicate Easter egg. The egg can be tied with a thin ribbon and decorated with a bow on top for beauty. It turned out very beautiful craft: Many will be surprised that you did it yourself!

Easter egg using Origami technique

Colored paper and triangular modules - if this tells you anything, it's definitely worth experimenting with a similar Easter souvenir.

How to make a triangular Origami module

First you will have to learn how to make modules from colored paper, later this skill will be useful to you in new origami crafts.

To do this you line colored paper in a special way. However, there are at least two ways to manufacture modules. Typically, paper is folded several times, cut at a certain stage, and then identical pieces are turned into future modules. You can watch the video to see how to cut paper correctly:

Step-by-step master class on creating an Easter egg using the Origami technique

We will proceed as follows:

1. We need to prepare 99 green and 112 pink triangular modules.
2. There will be 8 green modules in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rows. They easily fit on each other.
3. In the 4th row there will be 16 pink modules, which need to be put on with one pocket.
4. We make the 5th row according to the principle: 2 green modules - 2 pink modules - 2 green, etc.
5. 6th row: the same principle, but the pattern itself needs to be shifted a little to the side.
6. Next, we try to give the egg the shape of a bowl and continue to lay out the same pattern, not forgetting to shift it to the side.
7. You need to make 8 rows with a pattern.
8. The next row will consist of 16 pink modules.
9. The work will be completed with a row of green modules, which will be placed on three corners.

The video master class will instruct you in detail on how to create an origami egg:

A next master class will tell you how to improve your work. But for beginners best choice There will be exactly the first path, since it is as simple as possible, but the result is just as attractive.

Easter egg using Quilling technique

To perform this technique you will need:

• egg preparation
• pins
• paper pins

First of all, think about what the egg will be like. Elements can be glued to the workpiece itself:

You can then carefully remove the workpiece. This is necessary so that the egg turns out hollow and openwork.

If you chose the second option, then the manufacturing principle will be the same as making an Easter egg from threads. That is, we go the following way:

1. Cover the egg with polyethylene, and then, starting from the very top of the workpiece, glue the quilling elements. Each element should not only be attached to the previous one, but also secured with two or three pins.
2. This is how the top half of the egg will be made, after which you need to coat it with varnish and leave it to dry.
3. Now you can work on the second piece (the lower half), and after drying, glue both parts together.

The quilling elements are twisted the way we need them. It’s better to practice in advance so as not to waste time in the process of making the Easter egg. In order not to get lost, it is better to follow this video master class:

Prosperity and abundance in Easter symbolism is the rabbit. It is believed that it will bring good luck to the one who receives it as a gift. You can plant him next to a basket of Easter eggs, he will be its cute and cute guard.

You can sew a simple rabbit from gray linen, or you can sew colorful adorable little bunnies using all your imagination. You don’t have to put this souvenir away until next Easter, because it can be a good talisman for the year.

Easter candles

Egg-shaped candles are an original souvenir for Easter. Our master class “Easter candles and their protective properties” will not leave any questions on the topic “how to make them.”

By the way, the same egg shells can become the best candlesticks:

Easter napkins

Classics of the genre! However, you can start making them now, because such embroidery requires a lot of time. There are a lot of patterns that you will use to embroider. Assess your skill level and choose.
