You may recall, that I reviewed Martha Stewart’s, Handmade Holidays back in November. I have just discovered that this book has now been released in Australia, under the title of “Crafts for All Occasions”, complete with a new cover. This is such an inspiring book as it covers 225 craft projects, using lots of different crafting techniques, covering all the major holidays. You can read my review here.
With Easter fast approaching, I have been looking over the Easter section where there are lots of projects/techniques for decorating eggs, Easter table settings, gift bags and baskets. Some of my favourite Easter projects are:
 |
| Crepe Paper Carrots |
 |
| Paper napkin Decoupaged Eggs |
 |
| Easter Garland, Cupcake Toppers, and Favor bags |
I love the Easter Favour Bags – such a great way to gift Easter chocolates/candy. I was pleased to see that we can buy the Easter M&M’s here in Australia this year. I have previously only seen them when we lived in Texas.
Inspired by Martha, here are some Favor Bags I have made using pastel coloured scrap booking papers, and Divine Twine.
Crafts for All Occasions is available in Australia from Booktopia, Fishpond and Can Do Books

what a fabulous collection of ideas!
Awesome book! I love these Easter ideas too.
Oh my! I love those colours. Perfect classmate Easter present sorted for me – thanks!
Dang it….I’m so busy catching up on all the great stuff that was on my Christmas list (to be ready for this year) I completely forgot about Easter….Thanks for the reminder! It looks really lovely. Ehm….How many days left?
I’m a HUGE Martha fan and have every single mag (except 5) from 1997. I also adore her books but the trouble with most of them is that a lot of the content is a repeat of magazine content.
If you haven’t read the mags, you’ll be in sheer bliss – no one does it better. If you have read/got the mags, you won’t be as blown away, even a little disappointed.
Nonetheless, I bet this book inspired you creative gals!
cute crafts! I always love the wonderful splashes of pastels for spring and Easter crafts.
Oh I like those carrots!!! Will have to look out for the Easter M & Ms!
Love the little rabbit bags with the coordinating ribbons, very pretty! And the carrots are super cute! Saw a million Easter eggs in the shops yesterday, I’d forgotten how quickly it comes after Christmas!
Where can I find the bunny punch
Hi Mary – I used my Cricut die cutting machine to cut the bunny. If you search for bunny craft punch on google there are a few options but they do look a bit smaller than the bunny I used.
