Remember to buy some plastic eggs and copy these nifty ideas

These projects are ideal for creating after Easter, when the kids have a slew of empty plastic eggs and the big-box store has packages on sale. Any time of year is great for making these crafts, though, and most craft stores carry plastic eggs in various shapes and sizes. These tutorials use neutral-colored plastic eggs, but feel free to use neon shades or patterned eggs if you want to spice things up.
From a farmhouse table centerpiece to fragile-looking tealight candles, eggs take center stage. There's even a tutorial for a bird feeder to help feed feathered friends during the winter.
