Crafting for Easter is great fun for young and old. The Easter period is considered a seasonal highlight and is often used as a playground for new and creative ideas. In today's article we have put together exciting ideas for you about Easter crafts with feathers. The feathers can be used excellently in spring and in preparation for the long-awaited Easter. With feathers you can conjure up beautiful table decorations at Easter time, decorate cute party bags or implement them in a variety of craft projects with children.
Cute chicks made of Easter eggs and feathers
Easter crafts with childrenis always a particularly fun affair. Our first suggestion for Easter crafts with feathers would be these cute little chicks. Of course, it wasn't a coincidence that we chose a DIY project with chicks. When you think of Easter, associations with the Easter bunny and chicks immediately come to mind. Although the feathers in our first craft project are not from real chickens, they are a perfect craft material for many different Easter crafts.
For the chick Easter eggs, you need hard-boiled or blown Easter eggs, which your children can paint with yellow acrylic paint and let dry thoroughly. You can punch or cut out two small circles for each chick from dark washi tape or craft paper and attach them as eyes. Small triangles in orange or red make perfect beaks. Take feathers in a color of your choice and cut small pieces to glue on the head. A great and easy way to decorate Easter eggs, isn't it?
Make Easter baskets with the children
What would Easter be without one?beautifully decorated Easter basket, which has delicious sweets and various treats or small gifts for your little ones? Now this time we are making a pretty chick bucket instead of a traditional Easter basket. If you have organized an Easter party outdoors, the homemade Easter chick will certainly amaze guests young and old and create a lovely festive atmosphere.
Get a bucket of the size of your choice and spray the inside and outside, as well as the handle, with yellow spray paint. For an even surface, it is best to apply a second coat of varnish paint. While the bucket is drying, sketch the templates for the beak, feet and wings on a piece of paper, transfer them to matching colored cardstock and cut them out.
Now the wings need to be fitted with small feathers. Apply glue along the edge and attach the feathers of approximately the same size. If necessary, shorten the spring. Also attach some feathers to the inside of the bucket. This way you imitate the cute head tuft of the chick. Attach the tips of 2-3 feathers to the back of the bucket. Finally, attach the eyes, beak and feet. Then fill the bucket with some Easter grass and place various sweets, small toys or other gifts on it.

Another great idea for Easter crafts with feathers are the little birds, which are perfect for table decorations and beautifully announce the start of spring. Painted in a pastel color, with wiggly eyes, beaks and fluffy feathers, the birds made of clothespins radiate a spring-like atmosphere around them.
