Idea Queen Tips & News

This particular craft is something we do every year with our Easter eggs. I mean you spend that time decorating them, you want to KEEP them, right? Well this idea is perfect if you want to transform them into something that won’t go bad in your fridge a week later….

Basically all we do is save all the shells from the eggs. Yes they crack and we have several pieces, but that just makes it more fun. We take the shells and arrange them on a black sheet of construction paper. Then we take clear packing tape and place it over the shells to keep them in place (We’ve tried glue in previous years, and that didn’t turn out so well). If you want it without the lines, you can laminate it if you want. We don’t have the supplies for that though, so we use clear packing tape.

Here’s a snapshot of the pictures we’ve done in previous years with two different background colors. You can see the black looks a lot better. Have fun!

Here it is, April Fool’s day, and I thought it would be fun to share your past pranks. It slipped up on me this year and I really didn’t have time to think up any good ones. Besides, I’m just not a good liar. People usually see right through me. Hehe.

In the past there’s been some good ones. When I was a kid, I helped my aunt turn all my dad’s pants inside out. That was loads of fun at 5 years old! I’ve also put tape around the water sprayer on the kitchen sink, then asked for a glass of water (that way when they turned it on, it sprayed them). Then of course there’s the classic ones of “I’m pregnant” that no one seems to find funny. Ha!

What have you pulled in the past? How did they react?
