Recycle Your Leftover Easter Supplies

by Leave a Comment

There is a great piece this morning on Crafting a Green World about ways to recycle your Easter trash and turn it into new projects. I like the idea of using paper boxes (like those that once housed giant chocolate bunnies) and following a tutorial for an old cereal box, like making a garland or a bookmark. Over at FaveCrafts, we’ve got even more great ideas for crafting with recycled items, including an article with 10 ways to reuse trash and a great idea for your Easter table next year that utilizes old fruit cups. Check these and all our great green crafting ideas out at FaveCrafts!

Ukrainian Dyed Eggs

by 1 Comment

I just love Ukrainian Dyed eggs.  I think they’re extraordinary but pretty intimidating when it comes to creating yourself.  But it’s a tradition I’d like to learn someday. Searching around, I found this great photo tutorial from Make Online that goes through the process. I love the idea of actually making an omelet with the eggs afterward too!

This site, LearnPysanky, offers a great guide to making Ukrainian eggs with lots of beautiful photos. So if you’re hesitant to give this traditional art form a try, check it out, and maybe, like me, you’ll work up the courage!


Does anyone have any photos or cool stories about making Ukrainian eggs?
