Each week I bring you a craft that is fun and frugal. With Easter THIS WEEKEND, I thought some of you may be looking for last minute gifts for family members or friends who aren’t “into” Easter baskets. This craft didn’t turn out as well as I was hoping but I feel it’s important to show you my hits and misses so you can maybe make them even better! Regardless, my kids LOVED this one-lots of painting where they didn’t have to stay in lines.

Just a side note, I as much as I can when doing crafts…it really helps to preserve them.
