I love to inspire big and small to play with fabric so I was very happy when I was asked to do Christmas crafts with children last year! As much as I would have liked to, working on a sewing machine with 15 under school-aged kids felt impossible so I saved up all my scraps to make decoupage balls for the Christmas tree with the children. Sadly I didn't take any pictures then, but when I was back at the same Kindergarten last week I was wiser. This time they made Easter eggs and wreaths in decoupage technique. The kids were so clever, I was so impressed with their patience. The youngest boy had only just turned three and did so well! I chose the smallest wreaths I could find, they are around 15 cm in diameter (they do look bigger in the picture than they actually are).
The most keen little crafters made Easter bunnies too with pretty fabric ears, of course, aren't those faces too cute!
Here is a happy school girl with her wreath from another Easter craft class I had last week. The witch is her own design! In May I will have my first sewing class for school kids, they will design and make their own monsters and/or mascots. I am really looking forward to it!
Spring finally arrived last week and with that some extra inspiration, I made two fresh cushions from Marimekko fabric for my sofa and took on a new crocheting project. I can't wait to get home and make another square for my alpaca blanket! *edit* Here is the link to the crochet pattern from Garnstudio that I'm using.
Have you been doing any Easter crafts this year?
