Rice Krispie Treat Easter Carrots...

My daughter Kelsie wanted to make something special to bring up to her boyfriend's family's house this weekend. She searched Pinterest and found a cute idea for rice krispie treat carrots. She only had a little bit of time to make them last night after work and she has to work today, so this was the best and fastest treat to make.

Riced Krispie Treat Easter Carrots!!!

These bunnies might eat them before Easter though...

Come in and see the easy steps to make these little delicious cuties...

Easter Ideas...

I can't believe Easter is next week, because it's snowing right now here in Rhode Island. Spring will get here soon...I hope!! I was looking through my previous posts on Easter projects and wanted to share them again for all my new readers who may have missed them.

My daughters Courtney and Kelsie are 23 and 22 years old and long past Easter egg hunts, but this first idea was very popular in our family. We always had a very large Easter Egg Hunts with at least 15 nieces and nephews from both sides of the family. The eggs were always filled with dollar bills (that my mom and dad supplied) and candy. To keep it fair and square, I color coded the eggs to match each child's Easter bucket so that they only looked for their colored egg. I used all the colors of the rainbow and then used polka dot, stripes, sports themed egg etc.

The little girl who had purple could only pick up purple eggs!!

No stress or tears from the little ones who couldn't keep up with the bigger kids.

Another Easter idea is too turn something drab into something fab!!! Here are some examples of what a difference a little spray paint makes.

This poor bunny is a perfect example...drab.

To fab!! Looks like a big chocolate bunny!!! Click HERE to see all the details.

Eggs are great to hold money treats for older kids and candy too.

One giant egg is great for decorating.

This little Easter basket was made from a place mat. You can also use it for a little girl's Easter purse.

You can click HERE to see how.

This is a cute little place card for Easter dinner made from a  recycled keurig cup. You can click HERE to see how to make them!!

I just shared this Easter gift wrap idea this week, but I wanted to add it to this list. Click HERE to see it if you missed it.

The egg, in a little nest, holds Easter money!!

I hope you like all these Easter ideas and can share them with your family too!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Quick Easter Egg Gift Wrap Idea...

I made these Easter egg gifties for my nieces and nephews last year, but I forgot to share it on my blog. In years past, I always made gift baskets of candy and little toys for my extended family. However, as kids get older, a little candy and a little money is a favorite.

Here's how I wrapped their money and still had an Easter theme!!

Great idea and inexpensive to put together...

Easter Egg Hunt Reminder...

Thought I would just post a little Easter egg hunt reminder...

We've always had egg hunts at our house each year with lots of children. If you want to make your Easter egg hunt fair and square...color code each child!!

Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter!

Last Chocolate Spray Painting Project...I Promise

I know...more chocolate spray painting, but it's Easter this Sunday and I'm trying to sneak in this one last project. You can click HERE and HERE for the other 2 posts if you missed them.

Chocolate anyone?

This is the before...for $1.00

Takes 2 thin coats of paint. Just spray the front...

the back and then each side for total coverage. I sprayed 2 thin coats.

So cute!

Great plastic eggs to hold treats...like money.

My 2 daughters in college love the money eggs!!

You can add candy too, but make sure the paint smell is completely gone.

Great for small toys and then package them in the egg carton.

You can also decorate with them too. A little nest with a confused chick..."did I come from a chocolate egg?"

Fun Easter grass...

Don't forget all the projects together!!

There's still time to paint...so HOP to it!! Lol

Have a great day,

Tool Time Tuesday...Spray Painting Easter Eggs

On Tuesdays, you'll always find something fun to make or some great "tool" to use. Well, today it's both. We will be spray painting Easter eggs with a great painting tool I've been using for a while. By the way, they are plastic Easter eggs, not the hard boiled kind!! Lol

Doesn't this egg look good enough to eat? Yummy chocolate? Nope...painted plastic Easter egg!

A jumbo plastic Easter egg from Walmart and my favorite paint...Krylon really sprays on nicely and looks great.

It's a big egg...great for decorating.

Here's the paint name. I've posted this color before for a bunny I painted. It's a satin finish.

OMG...it looks like it was just dipped in a chocolate fondue!!

These 2 part eggs are great for putting little gifties or treats in.

Here's the bunny I painted last year. Click HERE to see that post. They both make a cute arrangement.

I realized the egg has little holes on the front and back. Not sure why, but I took advantage of the situation.

Ribbon!!

Thread the wired edge ribbon through the holes.

and tie into a cute little bow.

Now the arrangement is all decked out for the holiday.

Here's the tool I was talking about. It's a spray can nozzle with a trigger.

Slides over the top of the can.

When you pull the trigger, the mechanism inside pushes the spray button.

Really saves your fingers and no messy paint on them either.

Have fun painting your eggs. Just make sure you tell people it's not real or they may take a bite out of it!!

This would be great to paint all the little plastic eggs too and display them in a pretty bowl or Easter basket.

Have a happy Tuesday,
~Karen~
