1. Mosaic Coasters
Grout, mosaic pieces, glue and precut MDF rounds will make gorgeous Easter decor for your home.
Place the outline of your MDF piece with glue and stick the mosaic pieces around. Wait about 20 minutes for the glue to dry and glue in the remainder of your pieces in the middle of your MDF.
Allow the glue to dry for 1-2 hours.
Mix your grout with a little water and make it into a toothpaste consistency. Spread the grout over the entire coaster and wipe away any excess with a damp sponge.
Allow it to dry for another 1-2 hours and polish it.

Decoupage your napkins with the Mod Podge to adhere them to the pots.
Once dry add a layer of Mod Podge to the entire pot to seal it.

Lay the Pringles lid on a flat surface and fill halfway with Mod Podge. Place your pieces of mosaic into the Mod Podge. Leave a gap at the top to make a hole for the string to go.

All you need to do is pop your egg on the egg cut out and switch it on. It will spin your egg around and around. The kit include non-toxic pens for you to use to decorate your eggs.
10. Easter Rock Painting
Another Easy Easter Crafts For Seniors would be rock painting!
Scavenge some rocks from your garden and paint cute Easter designs on them!
11. Easter Bunny Button Canvas
Blank canvas can come in many different sizes. I would use a small to medium one for this otherwise you will need a lot of buttons!
Create any design on your canvas. We particularly liked a rainbow egg pattern as it hosts a lot of bright colours.
You can either leave the background white or you can add pastel coloured stripes to really bring out the Spring!
12. Shaving Cream Dyed Eggs
Mix together baking powder and gel food colours until you get a paste type consistency..
Place a dozen eggs individually into different compartments of a baking tray..
Using a paintbrush, apply all the different coloured pastes you have made to the plain eggs in any pattern you like. Remember this part can be messy. Infact the messier the better as it will make the end result even better.
Pour a little vinegar into a glass and use a pipette to draw up some of the vinegar..
Squeeze the pipette full of vinegar over the eggs. This will cause a chemical reaction and make the eggs in the pans fizz.
At the same time, it will make the colours on the eggs blend into one another creating this gorgeous water colour effect. Leaving you obsessed with this craft and it colours!
13. DIY Cross Wreath
Gather some sticks from the garden or on a walk. Bundle together the long sticks and bundle together smaller twigs. Secure them together with hot glue and cover that hot glue with some ribbon.
Hot glue artificial flowers sporadically onto the pieces of twigs and there you have a lovely Christian Cross Wreath to put onto your door.
14. Plastic Easter Egg Planters
Open a plastic egg.
Apply hot glue to the tip of the egg and press it against the tip of the other half of the egg.
Fill the larger side with a bit of soil and pop in a tiny seedling.
These will look super cute all lined in a row, multiple coloured teeny egg planters sitting on your windowsill.
15. Glitter Eggs
Hard boiled eggs, glitter, Mod Podge and a paintbrush are all you require to make this sparkling Easter Eggs!
Paint stripes, polka dots or half of the egg for some brilliant effects.
Let them dry in an egg cup for a few hours then you can display them in a cute bowl and use for a centrepieces for East lunch.
16. Book Bunny Frame
Do you have an old frame and an old book?
Cut out the silhouette of a bunny and glue it to the center of a white piece of cardstock.
Add a little pom-pom for the bunny’s tail.
To stop the pom-pom from being crushed, remove the glass/plastic from the frame and use for another craft.
Display your bunny creation on a hall table or shelf along with some Spring flowers.
Tip: To make your book page look ‘aged’ you can use a damp tea bag to change the colour of the page.
17. Egg Tree
Gather twigs from your garden, pop them in a vase.
Add moss to the base and a couple of dried flowers. Put an Easter bow are the vase and hang egg ornaments around on the twigs.
Super quick and easy Easter craft for all to enjoy.
18. Decorate an Easter Tree
19. Decoupage Bird House
Buy a blank wooden bird house.
Start by painting the whole wooden bird house white. This will give you the perfect base to work with and make anything you apply to it stand out.
Now you can choose to paint your bird house with different coloured acrylic paints. or alternatively you can cut pictures from napkins and decoupage with Mod Podge the pictures onto the bird house.
Both will look as equally gorgeous in your garden. And I am sure your birds will love either too!
