find out more about Suepinmaking.jpg (5210 bytes)This craft to us by Paulette an active member of our Families First community.  This simple yet beautiful Easter pin can be made by children as young as five with some help from an adult. What a terrific idea Pauletter, thanks again!

What you need:

  • easterpin.jpg (7094 bytes)Assorted colors of fun foam
  • Buttons
  • Satin Ribbon
  • Pin Back
  • Glue
  • Egg Template (three different sizes)

What to do:

  1. Trace the shape of an egg onto the fun foam.  I use three different sizes....small medium and large.  You can use pinking shears to cut these out for a fancier effect.
  2. Glue the eggs on top of each other.....largest to smallest. 
  3. Glue on buttons to the smallest egg. 
  4. Glue on a satin ribbon bow......glue on the pin back...and you have an Easter pin.

Comments:

Use a magnet instead
From: Kimberly
What about using a magnet instead of a pin back?
Or also a variation of just 2 different sizes with maybe the smaller one cut with pinking shears?
