CRAFTY EASTER CREATIONS

Easter egg favours WHAT YOU NEED:

■ Plastic eggs (you can buy crafty ones that open into two halves)

■ Yarn or string

■ Fake flowers, to decorate

Fun factor:

Popping plastic eggs in a basket

is as far as I like to go with Ease of making: crafting, so it’s no surprise Evie and I came a little unstuck as we tried to wind the wool and string around them.

Well, not so much unstuck as got in a gluey mess – and our flowers fell off! If you’ve got more patience and tolerance of sticky fingers than us you’ll probably make an eggy masterpiece.

Cracking result:

Cover the outside of each half of your egg with a bit of glue, then carefully coil yarn or string (I like the natural-looking twine) around it, until it’s all covered. I will stick a few flowers on there too, and the eggs look really pretty arranged in a basket. You can put treats inside them, and use them as favours for the Easter table.

OUR VERDICT:

STACEY Solomon certainly put The X Factor into entertaining her children during lockdown.

The creative mum – who has more than 4.3 million Instagram followers – is an absolute whizz when it comes to organising and sorting out fun things to do with her boys.

Here she shares some low-cost Easter DIY projects with Sunday People readers, and writer Hannah Verdier puts them to the test with her nine-year-old daughter Evie.
