Decoupaged Easter Pails
By Cindy Hopper
With a few pieces of paper you can add your own personal touch to your Easter baskets!
All you need is a few sheets of scrapbooking paper, Mod Podge, foam brush and punches.
I am loving the circle cutter from Martha Stewart! Wow, it does a great job of cutting any size circle you want! I also think Martha's bunny punch is extra sweet!
Simply coat the back of your paper shape with an even coat of Mod Podge.
Place the paper shape on the container and give it an even coat of Mod Podge. Allow Mod Podge to dry and then give it another coat.
I monogrammed plastic sand pails for my little girl and her girly cousins. Of course we used the 'sparkle' Mod Podge to give it a little girly bling. I gave it a final coat of 'outdoor' Mod Podge for extra protection.
This technique works great on eggs also. Be sure to use thin paper to help it conform to the curve of the egg. A flower punch gave this egg a touch of Spring!
You may find a large bunny template here and alphabet templates here.

About this column
This is a year-round Holiday column. Kids love Holidays. As parents we have come to appreciate how Holidays seem to help structure our lives. Plus, any excuse to have fun sounds good to us!
We'll admit it, now that we're parents, we secretly look for Holidays to celebrate and between National, Secular, Unofficial and Bizarre Holidays, we think there are enough days out there to keep us inspired every week.
This column will be a place where you can get inspiration for how to enjoy time with your kids. Crafting projects and ideas will be posted on Thursdays by our brilliant contributors (see below). Other fun ideas will be posted here throughout the week as the inspiration hits us!
About our Craft Contributors
Ellen Luckett Baker is the author of the long thread, a blog about handmade goods. She has always enjoyed making things, but the flexibility of staying at home with her two daughters along with the creative inspiration they provide has led her to craft on a daily basis. Combining her love of graphic design and sewing, she has created an Etsy shop selling machine embroidery designs and sewing patterns.
Ellen lives in Atlanta with her husband and two young daughters. She holds a B.A. in Art History and a Master's of Public Administration with a focus in Non-Profit Management.
Cindy Hopper was fortunate to be raised in a family who appreciated the arts. This background led to a Bachelor's Degree in Art Education. With a keen eye for design and color, Cindy has continued her love of art and is now passing her creative skills on to her three children. Cindy's family and friends are the beneficiaries of her passion for fun and meaningful creative projects. Cindy's personal blog, Skip to My Lou, has taken her love of a project to new levels. Postings keep the family busy -– from testing new recipes for holiday treats to designing and building floats for a neighborhood parade to making fabric rolls to hold crayons to creating themed parties. Cindy seems to have an unending supply of ideas for gifts, parties and rainy days.
Marie LeBaron is a 30 something stay at home mom in Utah. Before life as a mother, she graduated with a teaching degree in Early Childhood & Elementary Education, after which she taught four years of Kindergarten. After her first child was born, she decided to read books and sing silly songs at home. She misses the classroom, but she now gets to bring the fun and learning into her home and ours. You’ll see her kids a lot in these projects as they are her guinea pigs and for whom she's creative. You can follow more of her projects at her personal blog Make and Takes.
Brenda Ponnay is a stealthy secret agent who juggles parenthood to her adorable daughter by day and freelance graphic design by night. Whether it's painting, baking, drawing, making castles out of card board boxes or just doing the laundry with flair, Brenda Ponnay has finally discovered (at the ripe old age of thirty-six) that what really makes her happy is being creative every single day.
Brenda lives in Southern California with her husband, daughter, three cats and thirty-seven pet birds. You can read about all her crazy adventures on her personal blog: Secret Agent Josephine.

these are so cute!
Can you decoupage an egg and then peel and eat it later? I've heard mixed answers on that. I'd like to do some decoupage on the hard boiled eggs I'm going to hide for my family on easter, but I definitely want to be able to eat them afterwards. I'd love some advice!
