Make a Carrot Wreath for Easter

Richard Patino works on wreath 

I was at my favorite Michael's store in Dallas when I noticed Richard Patino busy working on a wreath. He was making a carrot wreath for Easter.

Patino told me it took him only 30 minutes to make one. I have no idea how it is done. Michael's sells Patino's wreaths for $59.99.

It's cheaper to make your own.

I thought wouldn't it be great to add some orange lights and put it on a big wall in your home. Wow!

Here's a video I found on YouTube that shows you how to make a carrot wreath. I hope it helps. 

Thanks for the inspiration Richard Patino!

Happy Crafting!

Cascarones: A Mexican tradition for your Easter celebration

Do you want to add a twist to your Easter celebration? Then show up with a batch of “cascarones.” 

This is what we had when I was growing up.  It's a Mexican tradition.

Cascarones are hollowed out eggs filled with confetti.  The great part is that you get to smash them on someone just for fun.  It's a blast—running up on someone and SURPRISE!

Adults and children love them, because who doesn’t like a good laugh.   You’ll find cascarones at many Mexican Easter celebrations.  They’ve become as common as searching for candy filled eggs. 

Cascarones are easy to make.  You’ll need:

• Eggs
• Glue
• Confetti
• Paint or Egg dye
• Tissue paper

You can probably whip some up today. Here is one of the best how-to videos on Youtube. 

 Enjoy and Happy Easter!
