It is almost a week till Easter, and I wanted to share another craft project you can create. Now I know many of you are mainly decorating Easter eggs, but try creating something to hold your eggs in. Easter egg hunts are made more fun with this adorable crate for storing your finds. I love this recycled daisy egg carton. Kirsten Jones designed this project. It is a great craft for beginners, and one your kids can definitely help create. See below for all the supplies you will need, and the instructions.
