Turn eggs into cute vases<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can always rely on Martha Stewart for innovative ideas that make good use of our leftovers. You\u2019ll find her 3-step project here<\/a> if you\u2019ve got time to get creative with eggs. Personally we\u2019d soft boil the eggs first, dunk \u2018soldiers\u2019 in them for brekkie and then clean out the shells for our flower arrangements, but we\u2019re greedy like that.<\/p>\n

Give the kids a project (and tummy ache)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Easter Bunny-fied jar is filled with delicious white chocolate eggs to drive your kids crazy, especially if you glue the lid on (by mistake, obviously). You could of course fill it with white marshmallows to create the same effect. Or fill it with non-edible products like cotton wool balls and display it in the bathroom, if you\u2019re partial to cute bunnies that is. You\u2019ll find full instructions on the Tinyprints Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The lazy gardener<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your garden is still waiting patiently for you to pop outside and tidy it up after winter, shut the back door and head to the garden centre instead. Grab yourself some seasonal plants, like Muscari and Hyacinth, and plant them up in that jaunty aged container or wine box you bought at the car boot. Pat yourself on the back for achieving instant shabby-chic appeal with minimal effort.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
