Have a TEA-rrifc mom? These Beau-TEA-ful handmade Tea Cup Mothers Day Card Craft is precious activity for the kids or makes a sweet invitation to a tea party!

Tea Cup Mother’s Day Card Craft

One of our more popular posts is our Mother’s Day Preschool Crafts. We were so inspired by this post, we wanted to come up with something creative and crafting on our own! This Tea Cup Mother’s Day Card Craft is for a Tea-rrific Mom! A mom who loves tea and loves to relax! It’s simple and easy, upcyling egg cartons and using scrapbook paper and pipe cleaners.

Be sure to pick up our favorite tea bags! We think your mom will love them too – they make the most excellent gift!

Have a Beau-TEA-ful Mother’s Day!

Supplies:

1 Cardboard Egg Carton
Watercolor Paints
1 Sheet White Cardstock Paper
2 Sheets Patterned or Colored Paper (scrapbook paper)
1 White Pipe Cleaner
2 Pipe Cleaners, any color
Hot Glue Gun
2 Tea Bags
Scissors

Directions:

First, cut 2 pieces of cardstock about 4”x 6” in size and cut 2 pieces of patterned/colored paper about 3”x 5” in size. We used white card stock and colored scrapbook paper.

When you have your paper cut, center each piece of patterned paper on top of each white piece, and glue down on them. These are your two cards.

Grab your egg carton. Use the bottom part of the egg carton and cut 2 of the egg holders from the end of the egg carton. Cut off one side of each egg holder, making sure to leave the other 3 sides intact. When you lay it down on the flat cut off side, it will look like a little round cup.

Once your teacups are cut, use the water colors to paint each little egg holder cup any color you choose, we used blue and purple. Let these dry for a few minutes.

While your tea cups are drying, cut 2 pieces of the white pipe cleaners each about 3” long. Cut 1 piece each of the colored pipe cleaners about 3” long. Twist a white piece with each colored piece so you now have 2 pieces that looked striped.

Make each one into a small handle shape and glue each one to the egg holder cups. I glued one end on the inside top, and the other end to the outside so they look like cup handles.

Glue each teacup with the flat cutout side down onto the cards. Put one of the tea bags into each little cup and let the string dangle over it.

These make cute cards for Mother’s Day or anytime! They would be fun for a tea party!

With April Fool’s lying on Easter this year, enjoy this Easter April Fools’ Joke, grapes disguised as candy! A light-hearted and clean April Fools’ Prank Idea.

Easter April Fools’ Joke | April Fools’Day Candy

Hippity, hoppity, ~~Easter~~ April Fools’ Day is on its way….

Ready for some foolish, silly Easter fun? We have a very cute idea to celebrate both Easter and April Fools’ Day! Did you realize that this year, 2018, they both fall on the same day – April 1st. Well both Easter and April Fools’ are two of our most favorite holidays on Frugal Coupon Living. Have you seen our Innocent and Playful April Fools’ Prank Ideas? That being said, we knew we had to come up with something creative to merge the two holidays this year.

This Easter Sunday, unwrap some Easter chocolate and replace with grapes! This is a clean, bunny approved April Fools’ Prank Idea. Another way to take this idea the extra ~~mile~~ bunny run, is to place your wrapped foil grapes in Easter Eggs and send the kids on an Easter Egg Hunt. This is sure to buy you at least 20 minutes of sipping that mimosa. These treats won’t melt, even if you are experiencing a warm Easter Sunday.

Looking for more to do this Easter Sunday with the kids? Don’t forget our favorite Easter Food Craft Ideas for Kids.

Enjoy!

April Fools’ Day Candy

Supplies:

Directions:

Cut 2 ½” X 2 ½” squares from the foil. Cut out as many as you would like to make. Have one square per grape you intend to wrap.
Use the markers and color one side of the foil squares with Sharpie Markers and let dry for a few minutes.
Unwrap the Easter candy from the decorative foil, be careful not to rip the wrappers. Flatten them out a little so the wrinkles aren’t too bad.
Using the foils from the purchased candy and the foils you made with Sharpie markers, wrap one grape into each foil. They should look like the little chocolate eggs in the foils you can buy at Easter time.
Put them in a dish (or Easter Egg) and serve them.
Everyone will think they are getting a chocolate candy, but they will be unwrapping a grape.
Now just say “April Fools!”

Optional: Place chocolate covered grapes in plastic Easter eggs.

Fig Newtons Easter Bible Cookies

Ingredients:

Fig Newton Cookies
Decorating Icing in a color of your choice
Red or yellow fruit roll ups
Scissors

Directions:

Outline the top of a Fig Newton cookie with a thin rectangle frame of decorator’s icing. This can be in any color that you like, but we prefer white.
Next, make two vertical lines with icing on either end of one side of the cookie. This will make the spine of your Bible.
Draw a cross with icing in the middle of the top of your Fig Newton cookie.
Cut a small rectangle shape from a Fruit Roll Up. Gently push it into the filling on top of the cookie. This will be the top of your bookmark for the Bible.
Cut another rectangle from the Fruit Roll Up, but this time, cut a small triangle out of the bottom edge of it. Gently push this piece into the filling on the bottom of the cookie so that it sticks out slightly. This will be the bottom of the bookmark in your Bible cookie.
Stick the cookies in the fridge or freezer for a bit to let the icing start to harden, or serve immediately.

We found an adorable collection of Free Easter Printables for your home decor, crafts, table, gifts and more. You will love and reuse these spring printables.

Free Easter Printables

I am not necessarily a lazy holiday decorator, but I am a pretty frugal decorator, especially when it comes to the seasons. Why? I have a hard time buying new things for the home that are only used for a month or two. Because of this reason, I often look to the internet and Pinterest for help – Thank God for Pinterest! That is why I love these FREE, yes FREE, printables. Pick up these free spring printables to create a pretty accent to your home, your crafts, gifts, tables, and more. Find everything from inspirational scripture, to adorable treat holders, printable gift wrap, table displays and more.

TIP: Another tip for staying frugal during the seasons, besides looking for printables online, be sure to also use some decorations year around. Take lanterns, mason jars, trays, trivets and more to decorate the home. These serving pieces can be put away when they are not used but can add touches to your home during all the seasons!

Display this adorable Happy Easter Printable in your home. Print this free 8×10 and frame this bunny with a bow during the spring season.

Happy Easter Printable

Do you hold any Easter traditions? While the story of Christ dying on the cross and rising on the third day is not new to my kids, it’s a good time to reflect on how truly miraculous our God is. Easter eggs and bunnies are fun, but there are other ways to instill Easter traditions with your kids. One of our very popular posts, is Christian Easter Crafts featuring Resurrection Eggs, Gardens, and Rolls. This post has some of the most crafty ways to tell the story of Jesus’s death and Resurrection, each providing the final story of an empty tomb.

When decorating around the house, we also wanted to provide you with something fun. I love having an 8×10 frame around the home that can easily be changed out with the seasons. If you have that frame or you want to start the idea, print out our Happy Easter printable with this adorable Easter Bunny with a Bow.

We keep our bunny displayed in the foyer by the front door greeting everyone who visits.
