Felt Coaster perfect for Easter

We found quite a bit of left over felt fabric from other projects / craft  we did previously and we thought since so many people are posting Easter projects we might as well make one from all our left over felt fabrics. The craft needed to be small. The felt fabrics are just small cuts.

Check out how we made. These came out so adorable. 

We hope this inspired you to create something new with things you have around the house and turn it to something useable again.

We are all Egg-cited to show you this.

We have been seeing a lot of egg craft the past week. (Obviously because Easter is coming up) So we thought to come up with our own egg craft as well. 

As we sat on our brainstorming table we did not expect someone would show up in the office with a wooden egg with an egg holder! 

Wood! What else would we do of course do some wood burning craft again!

For the egg holders we painted them with marble effect to give the stand and egg some contrast.

So now you understand why we are all EGG-cited to show you our Easter Craft.

We hope this inspired you to create something new with things you have around the house and turn it to something useable again.

Eat your carrots!

Looks like we have made enough bunnies for our Easter blog. :) We thought maybe we should compliment the whole Easter theme with an Easter garden of "carrots!" You can check out our other Easter crafts by clicking the link.

For sure the kids are going to eat these carrots.

For the materials and ingredients you will need…

1. Plastic bag (we use a square shaped 5" x 5" food grade plastic)
2. Cereals - we used corn flakes but you can use any other ingredients that has an orange color or use cut up carrots sticks. (Just have a dip on the side when your serve the carrots sticks.)
3. Ribbons and strings cut to 4" lenth - we will use this to seal the plastic bags for the cereals
4. Scissors - a handy-dandy tool for any craft
5. Option to build the bunny from our other blog just to have some fun and to decorate your carrot garden

First have a glass or any container to hold the plastic bag then pour the cereals into the plastic. Make sure to gather all the cereals in a corner to form that triangle. As you fill up the plastic form the cereals to a carrot shape. Use a string or ribbon to tie and seal the plastic bag. 

Now you have crunchy and healthy "carrots" for snacks. :)

Happy Easter everyone! Share the happiness of a new beginning this Easter by liking us on Facebook and following us on instagram #ohjoyandco.

Definitely a crowd pleaser Easter Salad

A fresh and light salad serve on a beautiful Easter Sunday brunch. Who can not be more pleased!
We found this Easter buffet setting such a crowd pleaser! Yes #ohjoyandco took time off making these. And Easter is about egg hunting so we made this Easter Egg Salad.

Serving a refreshing and healthy salad is absolutely perfect! Here is how we did it...

Fill the jar with the ingredients starting with dressing which is basically 2 tbsps of mayonnaise. Continue to fill the jar with julienne carrot, red onions and sliced cucumber. Add in the cooked pasta, sliced red tomatoes. Place the hard boiled egg that is cut to half  facing the side of the jar to give it a nice presentation. To help hold the boiled egg in place add in the grated cheese. Fill the salad with fresh bite size lettuce (taring the lettuce up is the best to prevent the lettuce from browning on the edges).

Cover the mason jar - seal tight. To decorate the mason jar we cut out some rabbit ears using felt fabric. Click the link here to download the rabbit ears template.

To serve open each mason jar and pour contents on to a bowl. The next step is just dig in! Make sure to take a big bite when you find that egg!

Hello little bunny...are you coming out?

Easter is a day to celebrate a new beginning! For the kids it is all about doing some Easter egg hunt! Most families gather in malls and hotels or country clubs to celebrate Easter with the kids in the metropolis. It is also the time when new blooms come out and birds and small animals start to come out from hibernation. Little bunnies starts leaping out of our backyards and humming birds gathering the sweet nectars of fresh blooms. 

So we thought maybe some crafting for Easter might stir up some nice leaping 'awwws....' and "ohhhhs..' for kids, moms and owners of establishments who might want to check out these crafts and get into the leaping spirit of a new beginning.

Making this cute and adorable bunny with that puffy tail and long legs sprouting out a glass will make you awww…and say hello to the little bunny :)

Amazingly this is an easy craft to do with your kids.

For the bunny you will just need some cotton and glue. For the bunny feet you will need some white and pink felt fabric, scissors, glue gun and glue stick. 

For the glass some nice washi tape and cut up tissue paper to decorate. Any drinking glass will work for this craft.

First, cut and assemble the feet of the bunny by using felt fabric. You can download the bunny feet template by clicking here. Once you are done, take your cotton and form a big cotton ball (about 3 inches to 4 inches in diameter depending on the opening or mouth of your drinking glass) and a small cotton ball (about 1 inch in diameter) to be glued on the big cotton ball (this will be the tail of the bunny). After which - glue the feet of the bunny into the big cotton ball.

Cut out the washi tape to the length you would need to decorate your glass. We taped ours vertically and alternate it with different washi tape patters.

To assemble simple place some green and white tissue paper (that has been cut to thin stripes). Have some hanging off the edge of the drinking glass. Place the assembled bunny in to the glass.

I have to say it is mighty cute! And a perfect giveaway for your  Easter Celebration.
