Fresh flowers are still rather expensive and you can not only embellish your home with paint coated beans but also with self-made tissue paper flowers.
Or of course other paper flowers ;-)

As long as fresh flowers still are rather expensive you can make your ambiance easily cheerful with paint coated beans in jars ;-))
If you don’t like beans very much, you can better fill the jars with coloured salt.
Bon appétit ;-))

Before throwing or giving away old clothing next time better check if you can’t make a lamp from ;-))

I’ve often seen Pysanky Easter eggs in internet and always found them great. But to tell the truth I find it much to time-consuming to make wax batik on eggs.
That’s why I was thrilled when finding the tutorial on how to make faux Pysanky Easter eggs which are simply painted with felt-tip pens and which I find as beautiful as the real eggs ;-)

I presented some braided bracelets before, here’s another cute braided bracelet :)
I like best the idea to simply braid in everything that matches.
And if you still have material over you can easily make matching tassel earrings or mini bracelets as rings or pendants or even whole necklaces.
I must go and see what lays around here somewhere…

Because I nearly forgot Valentine’s Day I prefer to start a little sooner with Easter crafts.
And you may possibly practice a little before ;-)
I find that the onion skin dyed Easter eggs look wonderful and it doesn’t seem too hard to make them :)

I already presented some crochet flowers, I find the idea to make vernal crochet flower cards with them neat :)
Hm, this would also look cute with Crazy Daisies, wouldn’t it?
