Instead of buying new crafting materials, repurpose items from around the house like old fabric scraps, cardboard, or paper to reduce waste. Incorporate acts of kindness into your Easter celebrations, such as making DIY gifts for loved ones or donating to local animal sanctuaries in honor of the holiday.

  • Ceramic Eggs: Long-lasting and recyclable, ceramic eggs offer a sustainable alternative to traditional eggs.
  • DIY Paper Mache Eggs: Create your own eco-friendly eggs using recycled paper and non-toxic glue for a fun and sustainable crafting experience.
  • Plastic-Free Plastic Eggs: Look for plastic-free plastic eggs made from biodegradable materials for a less harmful option.
  • Plastic Eggs: If using plastic eggs, opt for those made from recycled materials and commit to reusing them in future Easter celebrations.
    Sustainable Colors
  • Plant-Based Dyes: Utilize the vibrant colors found in fruits and vegetables like beets, spinach, turmeric, and blueberries to create beautiful and natural dyes.
  • Natural Food Coloring: Opt for organic and plant-based food coloring options available in stores for a convenient yet eco-friendly choice.
  • DIY Eco-Dyes: Get crafty with homemade dyes using ingredients like tea, coffee, onion skins, and paprika for unique and earthy hues.

Instead of buying new crafting materials, repurpose items from around the house like old fabric scraps, cardboard, or paper to reduce waste.
