Easter Decoration

How to make an Easter Door Wreath

You will need

  • A plain wreath shape – or cut out the centre of a paper plate and use the wide rim.
  • Doilie
  • Spring pictures – I used eggs and chicks but flowers would be fine too. See what you can find in magazines and catalogues.
  • Ribbon
  • A large cake case to use as a nest for chicks (If you only have flowers make it a vase)
  • Some shredded tissue paper
  • Tissue paper or paint to cover the wreath
  • Glue

To make – be as creative as you want – these are suggestions!

  • Start by covering the wreath with paint or paper
  • Add pictures of eggs, chicks and/or flowers
  • If your doilie is the right size cut out the plain centre and add the lace part to the wreath. If not just cut some of the lace part and add around the wreath.
  • Add the ribbon
  • Add the nest/ vase by glueing half the cake case to the wreath. Add the shredded tissue paper and then slightly stick both ends of the cup case to secure (it should be like a pocket).

How to make your own Easter Stained Glass picture

You will need

  • Black paper plate
  • Tacky back
  • Tissue paper in bright colours
  • Cross cut from the plate centre or black paper
  • Glue

To make

  1. Cut out the centre of the plate (use this to make the cross)
  2. Add the tacky back – you need the sticky side to be the same side as the black plate rim
  3. Stick tissue paper all over the tacky back to make the stained glass effect
  4. Add the cross on top of the tissue paper using glue.

Palm Sunday Story Video

Palm Sunday Story Video is a short retelling of Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem. You can read the story in John 12:12-19

I made this video for toddler group. You are very welcome to use it 🙂

Here’s a link to a post with a Palm Sunday Story idea and some palm leaf crafts to make.

Easter Story Paper Plate Craft

Paper plates are just so great for craft ideas (and can be used as storytelling props too) This simple paper plate idea can be used as both. The craft is for a child and adult to make together while talking about the Easter Story.

You need – paper plate, tissue paper or similar in green and blue, white paper on which to draw the hill and the tomb, brown paper circle for the stone, brown paper strips for the cross, some crayons/pencils, glue and scissors. (Obviously if making with younger children use children’s safety scissors and make sure you keep a watchful eye. Scissors should always be used with care while sitting down).

Begin by covering the top half of the plate with blue paper and the bottom with green.

Draw two hills on the white paper. Colour one green. Make the other into the tomb by drawing the entrance and colour brown. Cut out and stick in the middle of the plate covering the sky/grass join.

Add the cross to the green hill and the stone infront of the tomb entrance to one side to show that the tomb is empty.

It would be great to make this while talking about the Easter story or reading the story together.

Happy Easter!

‘For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God’
