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.

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

The best part? Can rotate and charge with all our other Dewalt tool batteries.

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
