From homemade bakes to crocheted creations, there is something very wholesome and feel-good about an Easter make. So why not embrace some egg-celent Easter creativity (sorry, we couldn’t resist!) with our handpicked selection of projects from creative women with small businesses here in the UK…
What’s a guaranteed way of adding cuteness to anything at Easter? Bunny ears of course!
With this bunny-ear egg cups crochet kit by Claire from Wool Couture (Instagram: @woolcouture), you can make simple little chocolate eggs look extra special for gifts or give your soft-boiled eggs for Easter breakfast an adorable upgrade.
The kit contains the crochet pattern, your choice of yarn colour, wire, and a wide eye needle. You’ll also need a 4mm crochet hook, but you can handily add that to your kit if you don’t already own one.
Easter is now synonymous with Mini Eggs, and Jessie from Jessie Bakes Cakes (Instagram: @jessie.bakes.cakes) is infamous for her cookie recipes… so what better combination? It’s a match made in Easter creativity heaven.
Jessie’s recipe gives details for making both classic vanilla Mini Egg cookies and double chocolate Mini Egg cookies, and includes step-by-step instructions as well as lots of helpful tips.
Yum!
If edible eggs (chocolate or chicken!) aren’t your thing, or you simply want a creative Easter decoration or gift that will last from year to year, this needle felted Easter egg kit by Katie and Rachel at Bergin & Bath (Instagram: @weareberginandbath) could be just what you need.
The kit includes step-by-step instructions, a needle-felting needle, thread, and enough soft merino wool (in five different colours) to make five needle felted eggs. You’ll also need a mat/sponge to work on – but if you don’t already have one, you can add it to your kit.
We’ve never suggested one of our own creative ideas in a Create It Yourself Feature before, but as this piped chocolate flowers project is so sweet and perfect for Easter, we couldn’t not include it.
Designed by our founder, Kerri, the step-by-step blog tutorial shows you how to create edible chocolate transfers (also called runouts or stickers) to decorate cupcakes or Easter eggs. There is also a free template download for the simple flower shapes.
This rabbit fabric pot sewing kit by Kate from Kate Sproston Design (Instagram: @katesprostondesign) is proof that Easter creations can be cute and classic at the same time. Featuring a gorgeous pre-embroidered lop-eared bunny rabbit, the design feels both sweet and stylish – making it perfect for Easter as well as all year round.
The kit includes ready cut and embroidered linen, striped cotton lining, thread, and step-by-step instructions. So, all you need is a sewing machine or hand-sewing needle.
Well, we don’t know about you but that’s definitely got us in the mood for some Easter creativity. Whether you prefer the idea of an edible creation or a sweet decorative piece, we hope these ideas spark your imagination for some creative fun this season.
