This is a great way to get tips, tricks and ideas from others who love to craft.
Get together with friends

Follow all directions

Wait for everything to dry at each step, before proceeding to the next step.

However, if you take your time and follow the directions to the letter, you will create great Easter crafts you will display with pride.

Store your crafts
Once you have made great Easter crafts and the holiday is over, wrap your crafts properly to protect them, then place them in large Rubbermaid containers and store them when not in use.
