Arts and Crafts - Easter Craft Idea and Acquiring Crafter's Block

Sometimes trying to decide on a craft idea can be extremely frustrating. It seems as though every craft idea has already been thought about and made, and for the most part it has. But sometimes it's fun to make a really simple craft project but just put your own spin to it.

Easter is a fun time to make crafts. Easter craft ideas can be full of color and whimsy, not to mention that fun Easter Rabbit. Of course, an Easter craft idea usually consists of making an Easter Basket. Well, this is no exception. But once again, add your own spin to the idea and make it your own.

Something unique to make an Easter Basket from is a metal bucket. Small metal buckets can be found at most craft stores. Of course, you can decide on the size of the bucket. Take your metal bucket and paint it with your choice of colors. Create your own design and have fun with it. Then you will need embellishments. Various color ribbons are fun to place around the bucket or you may just want one strand of ribbon. Then continue embellishing with flowers, buttons, beads, or even a belt buckle.

As for the "grass" to place in the bucket, one suggestion is to use shredded paper. If you have paper that is straw colored then that may be even better. This would be something a bit different from the "Easter grass" at the store.

Now your Easter Basket could be used for hunting eggs or maybe as a centerpiece for your table.

As stated before, sometimes it is rather hard to come up with crafting ideas. I've been crafting for several years and absolutely love it but there are times that I get what I call "crafter's block." Yes, it's similar to "writer's block" but with crafts. Keep in mind that just because it's someone else's craft idea doesn't mean it's not your own creation. It's up to you to design it how you wish.
