Easy Easter crafts for everyone to try at home

Whenever I have an empty cardboard tube, I save it for my grandkids to use for crafting when they visit. For our Easter craft, we dipped the ends of some toilet rolls in paint and printed a bunny head and body on paper. Then we used a slightly squashed loo roll to print a bunny ear shape. Once we'd added eyes, nose, whiskers and a few tufts of grass, we had the perfect Easter picture. Richard Emerson, Humberston, Lincs

I'd bubbled with my family and had them coming for lunch at Easter, so I wanted to add a personal touch to my dining table. So I found some seasonal chocolate lollies, wrote everyone's name on a sticky label and added it to the wrapping. Then I laid them out as place settings. My children and grandchildren loved their personalised treat. Susan Angus, Penn, W Mids

My 10-year-old daughter Gracie wanted to make some Easter decorations to brighten up our living room. She threaded Easter-themed decorations and bunting on to a wooden wreath, and attached a loop of ribbon around it, before pinning it to the door. The beautiful, bright wreath is a lovely way to celebrate Easter. Jo Beck, Colchester, Essex

This year, I wanted to make a little Easter basket to house all my chocolate treats. I bought a selection of decorative carrots and rabbits, as well as some battery- operated bunny lights. Then I stuck the decorations on to a basket I already had, filled the basket with green craft grass and added the lights. Finally, I included a few treats, ready to be gobbled up before the Easter bunny arrives. Tina Williams, Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent

Every year I make little Easter egg baskets for my five grandchildren, Grace, Immy, Harvey, Jayden and Parker. I use second-hand wicker baskets and wind twine around them, before filling them with Easter eggs. The children love the baskets, and once the eggs have been eaten, they can hold small toys or jewellery. Laura McGhin, Cranbrook, Devon

I made these fluffy bunny chocolate egg holders out of face-cloths. First, I balled up the middle of the cloth to form a head shape. I pulled the corners of the cloth up to make ears before tying a ribbon around the head to secure it. Then I stuck on some googly eyes and a nose. The rest of the cloth formed a body and I added a white pom-pom for the tail. Finally, I popped a chocolate egg on top. Lynne Newton, Spennymoor, Co Durham

My sons Joshua, seven, and Jenson, four, wanted to make an Easter tree. We collected some sticks on our daily walk, which we popped into a big vase. Then we cut bunny, chick and egg shapes from some coloured card and taped a loop of ribbon to each one before hanging them from the branches. I think the Easter bunny would be proud of our efforts!Gemma Parker, West Molesey, Surrey

To add a splash of spring colour to my home, I glued some orange and yellow fabric flowers on to glittery card, which I'd cut into heart and flower shapes. Then I glued these on to some wooden sticks and popped them in a vase ready to be displayed. I think they look fab!Tina Williams, Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent

These bright yellow fabrics inspired me to create an Easter wreath. First, I made padded hearts in three different sizes. I did this by cutting two heart shapes from the material, sewing them together and stuffing them. Once I had enough hearts, I took a wire wreath frame and attached the biggest ones around the outer edge. Then, I added another layer of hearts on top of those and finished with a circle of smaller ones in the middle. Finally, I added a bow. It looks so cheerful.Marie Godlova, Wavertree, Liverpool

When my tomato seeds needed planting, I didn't have any spare flower pots. Rather than dashing out to the shop, I rummaged in my recycling and found an old egg box. I filled each space with soil and planted a tomato seed in it. I can't wait to watch my tomato plants grow. Philippa Oldridge, Goole, E Yorks

The windmill ornament in my garden was looking a bit drab. So I got some copper slug tape out of my cupboard and added a strip to each sail. Then I glued the seal from an old vacuum pack bag into the middle and painted that gold. The metallic touches I added catch the sunshine and now my ornament shimmers. Dawn Malone, Hinckley, Leics
