Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Easter Egg Mug Rug Tutorial

Man oh man....I just noticed that Easter is early this year! Time just keeps flying along. Looks like we need to get our Easter decorating done a little earlier this year. There still are a couple of weeks before Easter so you still have time to make this cute little egg shaped mug rug from Sew today Clean tomorrow. Very easy and quick so you can use that Easter fabric stash to make several of them. :)

Happy sewing!

Dyed Robin Eggs - Tutorial

Can you believe that these are NOT real Robin Eggs? I had to do a double take and read through the directions to realize that I can actually do these AND so can you! These eggs are dyed in a natural solution, varying the length of time in the dye giving them an ombre of blues. AND the speckles...it is edible metallic gold paint! Who knew there was even such a thing...well, at least I didn't. They are just gorgeous and there is time to get these done before Easter! For the full tutorial posted by Erica on Honestly Yum, simply click on the photo above.

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Bunny Treat Bags Tutorial

I just noticed that Easter is early this year! Oh my.....I am way behind schedule on everything!! I had saved this tutorial for bunny treat bags and thought I would share it with you. If you have lots of pastel and Easter charm packs that you need a project to make with them this tutorial from Sew Can She would be a good one for them. Great for putting that Easter candy in for all those kiddies. 

Happy sewing!

Easter Crafting Tutorials

Well Easter is getting closer. Just a few weeks away. Seems a little early this year to me. How about you?  We need to get busy and get those Easter decorations done. 

So one of the most popular decorations are Easter bunnies. I found this tutorial over at The Little Fabric Shop and I think it was the colorful bunnies in the basket that I found so appealing. Of course mine would never turn out this good, but maybe yours would. :)

Now of course the bunnies will need carrots to eat and these carrots over at MardiGrasOutlet look almost good enough to eat. Now I have never tried to make anything with that mesh, but it doesn't look to hard. 

Next we have the traditional Easter egg. Well these aren't quite traditional, but they are a nice spin on the Easter egg. I like the old fashion look to them and the lace and charm make a great addition. Over at craftsandcoffee you can find out how to make these decoupage eggs. 

Then we need Easter baskets to put everything in. I thought these cute little baskets from Jessica over at Inkitupwithjessica that are made from card stock were so cute. Just think of all the designs you could make. 

There are so many things you can make for Easter. I guess it is just deciding which one's you want to do. Hmmmm....now what shall I make.  Have fun with whatever you are making. :)

Happy crafting!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Easter Tutorial

Easter is fast approaching us. I just don't know where the time goes these days. Most of you are probably well into Spring which is wonderful. Now that Spring is here and Easter is coming I thought maybe you would like to get busy and make some Easter crafts. There are several Etsy shops that offer wonderful Easter tutorials. I thought I would show you a few here.

The Bead Loom Gallery has this beautiful beaded Easter egg. I just love the pretty pink and white colors. How pretty would this be for Easter!

Rebecca Mae Designs shows all of you sewers out there that have that stash of fabric like me how to make this Easter basket. What a cute basket for that daughter or granddaughter on Easter morning. 

How pretty is this! I can just see your daughter or granddaughter with this in her hair on Easter morning! MG Mart has the pattern for you to make this. 

Now we need something for the boys to help make.....these little finger puppets will do the trick. They will enjoy playing with them afterwards too. Victoria with Little Black Duck has the perfect pattern for these. 

So lets get those creative fingers flying and make some Easter crafts. My kids and grandkids do not live near enough to me or I would be dragging them over here to make some of these great crafts!

Have fun!!

Colleen :)
