Very Vintage Easter Egg Designs

      This little violet dyed, Easter egg is perhaps the oldest egg I hang on my Easter tree. It was made sometime in the 1940s or 30s. My mother-in-law hung it on her childhood Easter tree. I think the lavender food dye has lasted far longer than anyone could ever had anticipated. The violets are made from molded velveteen.

Enamel Easter egg containers are still as popular as they were 100 years ago!

       In the collection illustrated above at the far left on top is a vintage aluminum egg that opens to reveal a secret message and perhaps a chocolate too. It was made almost 100 years ago and belonged to my mother-in-law. The larger eggs are reproductions only manufactured within the past twenty years. I filled them with jelly beans and other sweets for our daughters to discover on Easter morning among other toys inside of their baskets.

A Decorative Bird Box

      I love these little bird boxes by Martha Stewart. I plan to stuff mine with a few Easter treats this year, but these little tweets would be just as sweet to decorate for any festive occasion. The bird boxes come three to a package so I will show you three different ways to decorate them. This first example is perhaps the easiest. 

      First, I painted a thin layer of acrylic varnish all over the surface of my bird box and let it dry over night. Then I used a fine line, permanent, black ink marker to draw swirls and curls emphasizing the raised portions of the bird's wings etc... Afterwards, I coated the box again with a second layer of acrylic varnish.

Pin The Ears On The Rabbit

Pin the ears on the rabbit.

      Print out the pictures on which is the earless rabbit and his ears are drawn (below). Hang the earless rabbit on the wall, as shown by the sketch, right. Then cut out the ears included in this post and stick a pin through the little holes marked "Pin."

      Now you are ready to play the game. Blindfold a boy or girl and put one of the ears in his or her hand. Turn the blindfolded one around three times, stopping with face turned to the rabbit. Then let the player step forward and try to pin the ear in the right place.

      All sorts of fun comes from the funny mistakes of the players.

      You can get better results by mounting the rabbit panel and the ears on cardboard.
