DIY Easter Keepsake Craft Ideas

What is it about being a new mom that has you obsessed with making things with your baby’s hand and foot prints?  Keepsakes that will hang on the fridge for a while but will inevitably pack bins that I stuff in my guest room closet. (At least I’m honest, right?)

Remember back in December right before Christmas when I had an idea at 3:00 in the morning that I was going to make DIY salt dough ornaments for myself and the grandmas? While it was definitely more challenging than I thought with a wiggly baby, they turned out SO cute. I’m really glad that I took the time to slow down from the busy day-to-day and do them — because now I have them to cherish for the years ahead! Well, it happened again.

As I was scrolling through Pinterest a few weeks ago, I saw a lot of Easter themed keepsake crafts. While I missed Valentine’s Day and St. Patricks Day, it still made me really want to start creating these little keepsakes for each holiday as John continues to grow this first year. So here I go again trying to keep up with all the moms on Pinterest! I hope you enjoy these really cute and easy Easter keepsake craft ideas, and I hope it inspires you to also slow down and celebrate those precious moments this Easter weekend.

Easter Footprint Crafts & Easter Handprint Crafts

Not only do I think these are super cute keepsakes to have for myself, but I think they are also the perfect little holiday gifts for the grandparents. (Especially for new grand babies!) Like I gave some of the salt dough ornaments to John’s grandmas for Christmas, I plan to give them some of these as well. If you have older babies, include them in the process to make their gift to grandma and grandpa that much more special!

I was inspired by this post on Pinterest for my Easter keepsakes. I think the Cotton Ball Bunny is SO cute, but I wanted to put my own twist on it and ended up doing a little “SomeBunny” Loves You bunny instead.

Carrot Footprints

Supplies: Orange Construction Paper, Green Construction Paper, White Printer Paper, Orange Craft Paint, Paint Brush, Glue

For these carrot foot prints, I started off by painting the bottom of John’s feet with orange craft paint. I found this to be better than dipping his foot in the paint because it was a much cleaner transfer onto the white printer paper. (Not to mention, it was easier to clean up after!)

After the orange foot print dried, I cut it out and glued it onto orange construction paper. I then cut that out and glued green construction paper strips on the back to peek out of the top and look like the top of carrots. Not only was it super easy, but they turned out SO cute!

Some ‘Bunny’ Loves You

Supplies: White Printer Paper, Pink Construction Paper, White Construction Paper, Pink Craft Paint, Paint Brush, Glue

For these bunnies, I started off by painting the bottom of John’s feet with pink craft paint. After they dried on the white printer paper, I cut it out and glued it to another piece of white construction paper. I then took a water glass, traced a circle, and cut it out to be the bunny’s body.

Meanwhile, I printed a cute picture of John using my instant photo printer, and I cut out his head and glued it to a piece of white construction paper. I then cut that out and glued it to the body along with the footprints. Lastly, I glued on bunny ears made from pink construction paper glued to white construction paper that I cut out. I drew on some whiskers and wrote “Some Bunny Loves You” — and it turned out to be the cutest little bunny I have ever seen!

      Hi Crystal! I don’t have a template, I’m sorry! I just cut out a larger circle for the body and a smaller circle for the head and then glued the feet and ears to those.

I still need to install cabinet hardware, but I’m really loving how everything is coming together in our new house. I’m feeling so inspired with embracing new styles and I hope you are too following along!  #ahostinghome

Building raised garden beds and planting with a to Building raised garden beds and planting with a toddler who just wanted to  dig and bury tools and throw dirt everywhere was as about as chaotic as you could imagine. (Forget wood for a second, have you seen how expensive DIRT is this year?! 🤦🏼‍♀️) Rob built me raised beds at our old house after Layne passed away and learning to garden became such a labor of love for me. We really missed having a garden last summer after we sold our old house and moved into the rental, so we were so excited to get started and plan another set of raised beds for this year for the new house. It’s a start — and we can’t wait to expand this little garden area even more as we go. 💛🪴 Are you excited for your garden this year? What are you growing?! #ahostinghome

Can I just say that if you’ve been on the fence Can I just say that if you’ve been on the fence about a bold design decision… to just do it! After I shared the black living room wall, I had a few friends tell me they wanted to do the same in other spaces in their home and they chickened out. Especially when it comes to paint, I say just go for it! Paint is one of the easiest ways to completely transform the look and feel of your home. It’s only paint — and that’s the beauty of it! If you hate it you can always paint it back. So instead of asking what if you hate it, ask yourself what if you LOVE it?! 🖤👏🏼 #ahostinghome

About the only thing I managed to get done this we About the only thing I managed to get done this weekend with a sick toddler was the little gallery wall in our dining room. I found these wireless battery operated gold gallery lights on Amazon and they are AMAZING. Comes in 3 colors, under $35, and super easy to install. I love how it just added a little something and made it look more high end. 😍👏🏼 #ahostinghome

(You really didn’t think I’d part with these floral curtains did you?! 🤪) I always talk about the power of paint… but there’s also so much power in drapery, friends! I love how cozy they make our new home feel and how it just feels like “us” now with them up. ❤️ #ahostinghome

After all the rain, we finally got the wire backin After all the rain, we finally got the wire backing, our gates done, and the fence finished this week! 😍 We had a fencing company local to us do it, and they did an amazing job. We had a fence like this at our old house, and we loved how open it made our back yard feel while still keeping the dogs in. With the dogs, the fence was project priority No. 1 after we moved in — and I must say, I’m so glad I won’t have to embarrass myself chasing a puppy around the house with a toddler on my hip in my slippers anymore! 🤪 Are you team privacy fence or team 5 row fence? 🏡 #ahostinghome
