This is the perfect answer to the question, how to spend creative time with the children without leaving home?

DIY Easter decorations – 3 inspiring ideas for artistic fun for the children

Creating DIY Easter decorations is a great way to spend time together. Below are three simple suggestions for decorations made using our material bags.  So simple, even the youngest members of the family can help!

1. Cover for a plant pot or flower vase featuring an Easter bunny. Linen bags provide an ideal starting point for various DIY projects. Drawings made with paints or markers look exceptional on linen bags thanks to their light, natural colour. Our fabric bags can be decorated with, for example, a drawing of a bunny. Add to the effect by creating a two-sided drawing, in which the back of the bunny will be decorated with a tail, using a small pompom sewn or stuck on to the pouch.

2. Fabric bag with 3D decorations. A cloth bag decorated by a child is the perfect gift wrap option, it can also work just as well as a stand-alone decoration! The bags can be decorated in many different ways, depending on the child’s age and capabilities. Bags can be sewn or buttons glued to them, as well as movable eyes or felt noses and ears, therefore allowing for an amazing collection of Easter animal sacks to be made! Sewing a bag is also a great idea for more advanced crafters! This way, you can prepare personalised bags for the whole family!

3. A bird’s nest in a bag or … a bag with Easter eggs in the nest. It is extremely easy to do and at the same time, creates an extremely effective decoration. The bottom of the transparent organza bag should be lined with hay (or put in a nest woven from straw or sticks) and arrange a festive Easter egg or several smaller eggs (you can opt for a traditional Easter egg or place chocolate eggs in the nest). You can also create equally as impressive decorations by placing Easter eggs in a large wreath or nest.

Handmade Easter decorations- why should you bother?

Does everyday life leave you short on free time? Perhaps you are wondering if it is worth decorating the house for Easter at all? Feel as though creating handmade Easter decorations with the children is a waste of time?

So, we answer: Of course, it’s worth decorating the house for Easter! And you definitely need to consider creating at least some of the decorations yourself! Making them can be really enjoyable.  Craft work is a great way to relax, and for the children, a chance to discover new talents and skills while developing their fine motor skills and creativity. In addition, the satisfaction and joy that homemade decorations provide is far better than anything bought from a store!

Easter decorations can help to create a wonderful celebration atmosphere in your home! They will bring a more positive, even blissful mood to your household. This sense of joy will allow you to relax and enjoy the holiday more.  Although it might sound surprising, it is actually far easier to relax in a home that looks beautiful!
