The forecast here in New York is calling for snow. Thanks, Mother Nature! But the vernal equinox (aka first day of spring) is two days away, no matter what the forecast says. Shake your winter blues away with pretty Easter crafts in spring palettes. Got some yarn hanging around your home? (If you knit or crochet, you know you do!) These ideas I spotted on Pinterest are perfect for using up scraps.
I love wreaths for all seasons. Fun fact: This yarn Easter wreath from A Pretty Life in the Suburbs is actually a modification of Easter garland. Make whichever would look best on your front door or hanging over your mantel!
Revive your recycling by wrapping glass bottles in yarn. These bright examples from Craft and Creativity are covered in all the colors I want to be surrounded by right now.
You can make your own Easter eggs out of yarn. I repeat, YOU CAN MAKE EGGS OUT OF YARN. They’re cute, colorful and best of all? No stinky vinegar smell. Head over to Six Sisters’ Stuff for all the details.
Wouldn’t the yarn eggs above look divine in this DIY Easter basket? The bird’s nest look comes from shredded cereal boxes and bits of yarn. Head to Michele Made Me for the full tutorial.
What’s up, Doc? Welcome the Easter bunny’s arrival with yarn carrots. Carolyn from Homework tells you what you need to know to make these adorable accents.

Oh wow! I'm so excited to see my wreath featured over here! Thank you SO much!!
You're so welcome! The wreath is gorgeous and you gave me a serious case of mantel envy.
I love the wreath and the carrots.
I like the idea of wrapping bottles in yarn.
I'm kind of a bottle hoarder, so I like the idea of using some of my stash for the yarn-wrapped vases.
