Sequence of work:
1). Print out the template (you can just draw them on thick paper). Trace the flag on book pages and the egg on construction paper. You will need two eggs of the same color for each flag.
2). Cut out all the blanks and outline the edges of the eggs with felt-tip pens of the corresponding colors, and the edges of the flags with the same color, if you want. (You don’t need to circle the tops of the flags yet).
3). To give the egg a 3-D effect, fold one of the two blanks in half, right side inward, and quickly run a glue gun along the fold. Use a very small amount of glue. Quickly glue the piece to the front side of the second piece.
4). Fold the top of the flag 1.25 cm and trace the resulting edge with a felt-tip pen. Glue eggs into the middle of each flag.
5). It's time to assemble the garland! Cut a piece of twine (string) to the required length. Place the flags evenly along the entire length. Then apply glue to the inside of the fold at the top of each flag and glue so that the twine is on the inside. Pinch the fold for a few seconds while the glue dries.
6). Hang your adorable garland, take a few steps back and enjoy!
This amazing garland will create a festive mood and delight you and your loved ones on Easter. You can make a garland and decorate your home with your children, who will surely love this cute craft.

Translation Anna Ivanova especially for “With Your Own Hands”
Decorating your home and holiday table for Easter is just as important as for New Year and Christmas. The ideas are almost similar, the difference is only in some details. For example, for the New Year holidays they make garlands of snowflakes. But a DIY Easter garland made from paper eggs will turn out very beautiful. By the way, if you decide to make such a decoration, involve children in the process.
Materials for the Easter garland:
- colored paper of four colors (preferably thick, colored paper is suitable for printing on a printer);
- scissors;
- thick cardboard (you can use a cardboard box for postal items);
- an egg stencil (there are a lot of them on the Internet, or you can draw them yourself);
- rhinestones;
- beads;
- hole puncher;
- glue gun;
- a simple pencil;
- fabric (better than Tilda style);
- foamiran in two colors (white and green);
- stamen preparations;
- wooden skewer;
- fabric gift bag with gold print;
- satin ribbons;
- twine;
- embossed openwork braid (preferably having a wave shape);
- iron;
- wooden ladybugs;
- magnet.
How to make an Easter garland with your own hands:
First, let's trace the prepared stencil on colored paper. In this master class, we used an egg stencil measuring 8*11 cm. Cut out four eggs. Don’t rush to throw away the scraps of paper, we will need them later.
Let's try the eggs on cardboard. You should trace the same stencil on the cardboard so as not to spoil the colored blanks. Cut it out.
Glue the colored ones to the cardboard eggs using a glue stick.
Now we make the decor. From the same cardboard we cut out the base for a small Easter cake measuring 2*3 cm.
Trying on the ribbon and ribbons. We glue them on the back side using a glue gun.
To create the sprinkles, we use a hole punch and scraps of colored paper. We pierce the paper and get even circles of the same size. Glue them on using a glue gun. The Easter cake is ready.
Draw a heart on cardboard and cut it out. We apply it to the fabric. You don’t even have to trace the heart, but simply, pressing it tightly, cut the heart out of the fabric, adding about 6-7 mm to the fold.
We make cuts along the entire border of the fabric heart, as shown in photo No. 14.
We glue each “petal”, which was obtained as a result of cuts using a glue gun, to the cardboard so that in the end we get an even, beautiful heart.
To make flowers from foamiran, we also prepare a petal stencil. Dimensions 2.5*2 cm. We trace it on the material using a wooden skewer and cut it out.
To give the petals volume and a realistic resemblance to real flower petals, we use an iron. Heat it to medium temperature. We bring the petals one at a time close to the iron for a few seconds. Then we quickly place it in the palm of our hand and press it with our thumb into the middle of the petal and pull it down slightly.
We will need more green leaves. We cut them out randomly from green material. We make cuts along the entire border of the leaves and in the middle. We also bring it to the iron and shape it by twisting the ends of the sheet in different directions.
Glue the tips of the stamens together, as shown in photo No. 24.
Glue the first petal so that the stamens are in the middle. We glue the next petals with a glue gun according to the principle of uniformity. We close all gaps. We make a flower of the correct shape. We make three flowers using this technique.
We process the border of the testicles using twine and glue it with a glue gun.
We turn the testicles over and try on the ribbon on which they will “hang”. We tie bows at the ends of the ribbon.
Glue the tape and magnets.
The final part is decorating the Easter garland. Glue sheets of foamiran onto the purple egg. Next are flowers and ladybugs.
Cut out golden apples from the gift bag and glue them onto the yellow egg. Glue the beads to it.
Glue rhinestones to the purple egg. And to the green ribbon and Easter cake. We make a strip of confetti near the blue egg and glue a heart.
Easter garland of paper eggs is ready. Isn't she beautiful?

Step 1
Motives No. 11 from the sheet of motives are enlarged, transferred to cardboard and cut out. Place the egg motif on thin felt and a thicker felt that matches the color, pin with tailor's pins and cut out. Place the remaining parts on thicker felt and cut out. For the daffodil, cut out the flower motif (2x) and the core (1x) from yellow felt. Shade the felt details with moistened watercolor pencils. Highlight the remaining details with a black contour pencil and a volumetric outline.

Step 2
Fold the egg pieces out of thin and dense felt, pin together with tailor's pins and sew with a buttonhole stitch according to the design.
The white side of the egg is additionally decorated halfway with long running stitches.
Step 3
Glue the separate felt parts for the hare and the cockerel according to the photo, and glue on the eyes. Place your own motif on each egg and glue it on. Use a hole punch to cut out velvet paper and glue white dots to the eggs. For daffodils, glue two flower motifs together, moving them slightly. Sew the felt cores along the edge with small stitches, pull the beginning and end of the thread a little and tie. Place the resulting cup in the middle of each flower. Tie small bows from sisal, and sew a button to each bow. Glue bows to eggs. To hang, punch a hole on top of each egg, thread a waxed thread, tie a knot, string a wooden bead, and tie the ends of the thread.
DIY Easter crafts
This traditional holiday for Christians is celebrated all over the world.
In all stores, the range of goods is changing for this event.
Easter eggs, Easter eggs, stencils for painting eggs, Easter baskets and bunnies appear,
Many of these things can be done at home. Today's master class is dedicated to exactly this.
DIY Easter crafts “Garland”
Such a garland will look impressive near a vertical surface: walls, curtains, curtains, stairs. It is simply made from “obedient” material without the use of a sewing machine.
Materials and tools: multi-colored felt, scissors, stationery glue, satin ribbon, 2 pins, 1 sheet of paper, pencil, scissors.
Stage 1
Take plain paper. A paper egg shape is cut out of it. It will serve as a template for cutting out crafts from felt.
Stage 2
The paper sample is placed on a piece of felt. A blank is cut out of the fabric.
Stage 3
The required number of textile blanks is cut out.
Stage 4
Each textile egg is decorated in an unusual way. You can glue felt circles in some places. Maybe stripes.
Stage 5
To top it off, two holes are made in the upper part of the textile eggs. A satin ribbon is threaded through them, from which the Easter garland will be hung. To securely attach the tape behind each egg, glue drips from the felt. Once dry, make an Easter craft. Made by yourself, you can use it.
DIY Easter crafts “Egg with a surprise”
Such eggs with surprises are not traditional for the holiday. Therefore they are worth your attention. This is an amazing and pleasant surprise. It will definitely be remembered by all guests.
Materials and tools: 10 raw chicken eggs, plate, multi-colored acrylic paint, brush, paper, scissors, awl, medical syringe, pencil or pen.
Stage 1
Take a raw chicken egg. A hole is made in the lower part with an awl. The yolk and white are sucked out through it. You can do this with your mouth, or with a syringe.
Stage 2
Hot water must be pumped into the empty egg to rinse the internal cavity and prevent the formation of rot and fungus.
Stage 3
The egg is wiped gently dry. A design is drawn on it using acrylic paints.
Stage 4
While the paint dries, a congratulatory inscription or wish is prepared. To do this, a strip is cut out of paper. Nice words are written on it with a pencil or pen for the recipient.
Stage 5
The strip with the inscription is rolled into a tight tube, which is inserted into the hole in the egg.
Stage 6
The same manipulations are done with the rest of the raw chicken eggs to create a DIY Easter craft. If desired, each egg can be packed in a gift box or put them all together in a festive decorative basket.
DIY Easter crafts “Gift Basket”
This craft is made from a regular paper bag from the store. You can replace it with a candy box. You can safely give Easter eggs to your neighbors or relatives as a gift.
Materials and tools: paper bag or candy box, scissors, thermal gun and glue, ruler, pencil.
Stage 1
Take a paper bag. The bottom is cut off. The package is cut into two parts along its side folds.
Stage 2
Strips 3 cm wide are made from the resulting paper rectangles. To do this, they are first drawn with a pencil using a ruler and cut out.
Stage 3
Each resulting strip is bent in half along its length.
Stage 4
The stripes are woven into something like an Easter basket with your own hands.
Each end of the strip is glued using a heat gun and glue to two sides of the square, as in the picture. The excess length of the strips is cut off.
Stage 5
The sides of the Easter craft are lifted and glued together into a three-dimensional basket.
Stage 6
Handles are taken from the bag that was cut initially. They twist together in a spiral. Now they are glued to the craft as one handle. If necessary, you can use a heat gun and glue to securely twist the handle.
It turned out to be a wonderful DIY Easter craft. You can decorate it by putting a textile napkin and painted eggs inside.
Easter crafts “Do-it-yourself plaster eggs”
You don't have to buy chicken eggs at the grocery store for Easter. You can make them by hand after going to a hardware store.
Materials and tools: alabaster (or building plaster), a container for mixing the solution, a measuring cup, a tablespoon, a knife, a regular cardboard cup, an exact copy of an egg (plastic), adhesive tape, a funnel, sandpaper.
Stage 1
Take a plastic egg mold. A small hole is cut out from its lower blunt side with a knife. It is needed for subsequent pouring of alabaster.
The plastic form must open horizontally or vertically into two halves.
Stage 2
Take alabaster and prepare a solution: 5 tablespoons need to be dissolved in 180 ml of water. It is taken into account that heaping tablespoons of alabaster are taken. It is important to obtain a solution with a thickness equal to sour cream. Lumps in the solution are unacceptable. Otherwise it will ruin the entire product.
Stage 3
Place a plastic egg in a cardboard cup with the hole facing up. Through it, the solution is poured into the egg using a funnel. The funnel used is immediately washed in running water under the tap. This will help keep the funnel intact for a long time.
Stage 4
The solution will take one hour to harden. It’s easy to check the degree of hardening: try piercing the plaster with something thin and sharp. Once hardened, the plastic egg can be opened. All irregularities in the resulting egg can be sanded with sandpaper.
