What you’ll need:         

• Orange felt – the thicker the better
• Burlap ribbon
• Coloured thread and needle
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• Green paint and sponge

Draw three carrots onto some orange felt and then cut them out.

Use the embroidery thread to make lines through the carrot, add as many lines as you like.

Glue the carrots together at the tops, overlapping slightly, so the carrots spread out. Add some burlap ribbon by piling it on top of itself to create volume.

Add a green bow.

If you like, sponge some light and dark green paint onto the burlap ribbon and let dry, in order to create some depth to the plain ribbon.

Enjoy your new Easter door decoration and Happy Crafting!

We recommend using a battery operated candle as they can be a little safer but still provide a nice glimmer of light. However, you don’t really need a candle at all if you just want to add some festive décor to your celebration, since these candle holders stand out all on their own!

What You’ll Need:

• Glass candle holders with ridges
• Red, white and blue washi tape
• Sharp craft knife

Firstly, begin by placing stripes of blue washi tape onto the side of a glass candle holder, lining it up to the edge of one of the ridges. Use a sharp knife to cut the washi tape down to the space between the ridges.

Repeat this step every third space all the way around the candle holder.

Secondly, repeat with with red washi tape, placing stripes in the spaces after every blue line.

Finally, repeat everything all over again with white washi tape, filling in the remaining spaces.

What You’ll Need:

• Skull decoration
• Pastel acrylic paint
• Paint sealer
• Paint brush
• Pastel gems
• Hot glue gun or other strong glue (such as E6000)

Paint the entire skull in a pastel colour. This will probably take two or three coats so make sure to let the paint dry completely between layers and then finish with a clear coat to seal the paint.

Glue the gems onto the skull in an abstract pattern to stretch across the face. You can either use our skull as a guide or come up with your own design. Keep gluing on gems until you are happy with your design, remember, when it comes to jewels more is more!

We hope you love your glam jeweled skull as much as we do, happy crafting!

You’ll need a very sharp retractible knife for this project…and a steady hand!   Also, a cutting board is needed under the paper.  I got one from the local dollar store, I also picked up the wooden dowels too.  You could also use BBQ skewers as well, the stick needs to be long enough to stand inside whichever cup or vase you are using.  Using bright coloured paper is a MUST for creating these Cinco de Mayo papers…because you can’t have fiesta decorations without COLOUR!!

Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Papel Picado Decoration 

What you’ll need

• Wooden dowels (small) or BBQ skewers
• Bright coloured card stock
• A sharp retractible knife
• Hole punch
• Decorative scissors
• Cutting board
• Pencil
• Hot glue gun
• Ruler

First, cut your card stock into 4×4″ squares.  Then draw your design lightly in pencil. Focus on creating small shapes within the square. Cut hearts, circles, petals, flowers near each other.  Next, place the paper onto the cutting board and CAREFULLY cut out the design using the sharp retractible knife. Take your time to be sure you are getting straight, crisp cuts (and don’t throw those cut outs out).  

Finally, glue the paper squares onto the wooden dowels or BBQ skewers, set aside to dry.

Remember the parts of the paper we cut out? The reason for that is to use them as confetti for your table top! Spread them out where you’re serving your food and drinks.

Perfect for your festive celebration these Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Papel Picado Decoration are bright, happy and colourful. Place these Mexican fiesta party decorations into cups, vases or bottles.  You could even use them as stir sticks!  So grab some tequila, your favourite mix and get ready to party!!
