Egg Carton Baskets

When I was trying to fine some crafts to make for Easter this year, I came across this idea at DIY.  They took egg cartons and put some dirt discs with seeds into each holder and decorated it for Easter.  I thought it was such a cute idea since all the girls like to plant flowers.  I found some discs at the local store and decided to use some of SU's egg cartons I had left over from the other year. 

I decided to color them first.  I used rubbing alcohol and about 20 drops of reinker in my spritzer.  I had never done that before and I think they turned out cute!  Note to self - next time wear gloves!! 

When I opened up the package and removed the discs, I realized that the seeds had to be purchased separately!!  Well, there went that idea as we had so packs of seeds in the garage!  We are pretty restricted in PA except for food stores and pharmacies.  If we go out now, the Governor passed an order that we must wear a facemask as well. Rachel and her boyfriend have been doing our shopping for us, so I decided to go another way.

Nothing like some Easter goodies! 

I tied them up with some twine and added an Easter sticker for decoration.  I will put these in the kids Easter baskets and we will drop them off in their driveways next week.  No Easter egg hunt this year.  The Easter Bunny will have to go to Jennifer's house this year and we will watch on Facetime.  Thank goodness for Facetime!  Please be safe!

Thank for stopping by,
