Easy Easter and Spring Crafts-Paint Strip Egg holders and DIY Paper Bag Flower Vase

I wanted to share the projects and templates with you that I demonstrated on our local news. Easy Easter and Spring Crafts-Paint Strip Egg holders and DIY Paper Bag Flower Vase. It was the same station I did the segment for in December, and if you are in the area, it was WGN channel 9 midday fix. I’ll post a link for you later!I love these two Easter and spring crafts because they are really simple, but have a great look, and are fun for everyone. The first one is paint strip egg holders.

Three decorated eggs sit on a moss platform, each in a pastel holder shaped like a bunny or chick. A potted plant is on the left, skillfully drawing attention away from the ugly basement support posts in the background.

With the amount of painting I do, I always have a bunch of these left over. I had quite a few left over from when we did the girls room and they were the perfect spring colors. I thought it would be fun to re-purpose them. If you don’t have paint strips on hand, you could also use stiffer scrapbook paper or card stock. On the back of the paint strip, I drew my image. You can draw one of your own, or feel free to use one of the templates provided at the end of the post to use.

A paint swatch with a simple black outline of a sitting rabbit drawn on it, reminiscent of charming designs often found in transformed spaces hiding ugly basement support posts. The words "Jennifer Rizzo design company" are at the bottom left.

I then cut along my lines.

A pastel paint swatch with a cutout of a sitting rabbit shape at the top edge showcases various shades of light purple, reminiscent of an artistic attempt to brighten an otherwise drab area, like ugly basement support posts, against a textured background.

You can also use a fancy scrapbook edge punch if you don’t want an animal silhouette.

The paper punch tool delicately cuts lace patterns into strips of colored paper, with pink shades visible beneath the tool, brightening up even spaces as uninspiring as rooms with ugly basement support posts.

I made my strips about 6 inches long . Use clear tape to put the two ends together in a loop and viola!

Such a fun and easy egg display with repurposing!

I also decided to demonstrate an easy and inexpensive way to gift spring flowers with a paper bag flower vase.

No vase? use a paper lunch bag with one drawn on, and a recycled jat inside for your flowers! Easy Easter and Spring Crafts-Paint Strip Egg holders and DIY Paper Bag Flower Vase

I thought it would be kind of fun to do  a play on a vase, on  paper bag. The flowers are sitting inside a mason jar with a little bit of water for structure.

A simple drawing of a tall, narrow vase features geometric patterns in black and blue lines, reminiscent of the subtle elegance that can transform even the ugly basement support posts into artistic statements.

This is the design if you want to use it on a template and copy it. I think this would be a great house warming or even fun centerpieces on the cheap. You could also change the colors or make it a fun coloring project for the kids.

Here are the templates for the egg holders. I hope you enjoyed these Easy Easter and Spring Crafts-Paint Strip Egg holders and DIY Paper Bag Flower Vase!

Black line drawings of a cross, butterfly, rabbit, egg, chick, and another rabbit gracefully emerge from flat lines on a white background. Perfect for Easter and spring crafts enthusiasts looking to capture the season's essence.

The image shows the word "Jen" written in a black, cursive script on a white background, reminiscent of a stylish name badge you might see at a blogging conference.
