Hotglue two craft sticks together by 90° angle for big fish and sharper angle for small fish
Hotglue other 3 more (for big fish) or 2 more (for small one) paralleled leaving some space between

Craft supplies
Clear empty plastic jar (bear-shaped) - you can find it in grocery store, with honey, of course
Acrylic paint (we suggest brown, white, black, yellow, red), brush

Directions
Paint the jar brown, let it dry
Draw eyes, nose, heels, basket with berries as you see on the pictire or, as you wish

Craft supplies
2 large marshmallows (not real ones, from the craft store)
White curly chenille
White foam scrap
Scissors
1 “rub on” face (+ invisible tape)
Loaded glue gun
For carrot: orange felt scrap, green chenille cuts
Directions
We start with a tip: “rub on” faces do not stick on soft surfaces which marshmallow is. So we recommend just to cut it out neatly (in a circle) and tape it to the “head”
Hotglue head and body together
Curve chenille in loops and hotglue - ears to the top of the head, “hands” by sides of the body
Trace the bottom of body on white foam, and, as you already did many times (if you use this site) add round “ears” to that circle, recalling that favorite talkative mouse ) Cut it out
Hotglue that “mouse face” to the bottom of the body - that would be feet
Cut out small semicircle out of orange felt
Roll it as cone-shaped bag, but tightly, glue the edge
Stick couple chenille cuts in the fatter part, hotglue them
Isn’t he adorable? May your Easter be memorable
Craft supplies
Pompom chick (instructions HERE)

Put the chick inside the shell, wear smaller part of shell on his head (you might want to glue it)
Put the egg inside the basket

Those are so simple that very small ones can make them (well, except for operating glue gun, of course)
Craft supplies
Pompoms - big for the body and smaller for the head (same thing as with snowmen ) - for each
Couple wiggle eyes - for each
Two small yellow pompoms for chick’s wings and one small pink pompom for bunny’s tail
Small white pompom for bunny’s nose
Red foam scraps for chick’s comb and beak and for bunny’s mouth
Chenille stems - yellow for chick’s 2 feet and pink for bunny’s ears and 4 feet
Slim white chenille stem for bunny’s whiskers
Loaded glue gun
Directions
Just connect all the supplies together as you see on the picture First, you glue together head and body and then attach all the “details”. Don’t forget to check how your pet stands on his feet before gluing them (tip: try to glue them underneath the whole bottom so it’s stable). You don’t see bunny’s tail here on the picture… Just believe us it’s there
Hoppy and clucky Easter!
This is really easy and quickly-to-do craft yet very cute and touchy
Craft supplies (for 1)
Foam scraps
Pen, scissors
Green chenille stem
Chocolate egg
Loaded glue gun
Flower pot from craft store (optional)
Directions
Draw and cut out flower shape (note: flowers you see on the picture made by kids with no any template )
Add a center (small circle)
Hotglue chocolate egg (in a wrapper!) in the center that way, so when you remove chocolate you don’t have rip it out of flower
Twist the end of chenille stem in snail shape, glue it to the wrong side of flower (”snail” twist holds them together better)
Bend chenille where the leaf supposed to be, curl it toward the stem, twist to secure
Can you imagine that? You’re done
Note: since chocolate is heavy regular chenille stem doesn’t hold it vertically, so we recommend using flower pot (from craft store, decorate by your taste), or just lie it on the table
Tip: when chocolate is gone , crumple the wrap so flower still have pretty foily “head” and Holiday memory And chenille now holds it vertically!
