Craft Projects Created By Jennifer Sbranti Written By Jill Krasny
Zippy colored eggs hidden in fun places, furry creatures, and candy galore—what's not to love about Easter? We asked Hostess with the Mostess.com's Jennifer Sbranti for ten effortless craft projects to try at home. Read on for the lifestyle blogger's chic and simple how-tos.
Bloomin' Baskets These terra-cotta "baskets" are much too heavy to take on an egg hunt, but the grown-up look is sure to impress. Keep things fresh by choosing scrapbook paper that pops! Sbranti likes American Craft's Craft Fair paper, which she used for the bunny runner.
You Will Need
One small terra-cotta pot, around 5-6"
Double-sided scrapbook paper in two coordinating patterns & colors ("Monochromatic tones work best," advises Sbranti.)
Tiny artificial flowers and butterflies (optional)
Wheatgrass or Easter grass filler
What to Do
1. Cut a strip from the scrapbook paper that is the same width and length as the rim of the pot, then attach it to the rim with glue.
2. Add grass to the pot.
3. Cut another strip of paper, about 1" in width and 10" in length, from your other paper pattern. Bend the paper to create a "handle," then use glue dots to attach both ends to opposite sides of the pot.
4. Be creative: Embellish the "basket" with bundles of lovely flowers and some carefully placed butterflies.
