Easter comes around in one of the best times of the year. Spring is on the way, flowers have begun to bloom, and the air is growing warmer by the day. Even the sun is slower to set in this magical season. But like any holiday, Easter can also be a busy or even hectic time of year. With all the cooking, decorating, and Easter basket prep, it’s easy to imagine some things on the to do list slipping through the cracks. With that in mind, we’ve assembled this list of last minute Easter hacks to help make your holiday a hopping success!
Space-Age Easter Eggs
These hand-painted Easter eggs are out of this world. They’re simple to make and a lot of fun for kids. Use a dropcloth or step outside to paint these amazing Easter oddities. And remember, Easter isn’t just for kids! This DIY, and other amazing ideas we also found on Pinterest would be a lot fun for grownups as well.
Angry Birds (Sort Of)
These Angry Birds inspired eggs are the perfect project for kids or adults who love to fire birds at pigs. These fun little guys would be a ton of fun for an Easter egg hunt, especially if you were to paint one egg solid gold as the ultimate prize!
The Fastest Easter Eggs
If you’re short on time but still need to get those eggs decorated, these super-cute Sharpie decorated eggs save tons of time as well as cleanup. These examples are stenciled, but free hand would be just as awesome.
