20 Minute Easter Grass “Egg Hunt” Sign

Last week when I shared my Mr. & Mrs. Moss Bunny Topiaries, I mentioned that I’d gone on somewhat of a spring crafting binge.  So you’ll have to forgive me, but you’ll be seeing quite a few “springy” projects around here over the next few weeks!  Today is no exception; it doesn’t get much springier than plastic Easter grass and sparkly eggs, in my opinion!  So I combined the two and made this fun Easter grass “egg hunt” sign!  Use Easter grass to make a cute "egg hunt" Easter decoration for your spring mantel! Click through to get the full tutorial from averageinspired.com.It’s kinda cute, right?Use Easter grass to make a cute "egg hunt" Easter decoration for your spring mantel!

Seriously, you don’t need much to make this sign! Here are the supplies:

  • Plain wooden sign
  • Green acrylic paint & brush
  • Easter grass
  • Small Easter eggs (I used tiny foam ones and a tiny foam bunny floral pick)
  • Hot glue
  • Scrapbook paper
  • Bakers twine
  • Letter stickers

STEPS

First, I painted my wooden sign with a light coat of green acrylic paint.  In just 20 minutes you can make a fun "egg hunt" sign for Easter with inexpensive supplies!
Once dry, I applied hot glue to the sign and started placing Easter grass all over it.  In just 20 minutes you can make a fun "egg hunt" sign for Easter with inexpensive supplies!
After the entire sign was covered in Easter grass, I flipped the sign over and cut the grass. Literally! I didn’t want there to be long, straggly pieces, so I tried to trim all the pieces down to around the same length.  In just 20 minutes you can make a fun "egg hunt" sign for Easter with inexpensive supplies!
After that, I hot glued my mini foam eggs into the grass, and I added a little foam bunny into the mix for extra cuteness. 🙂  In just 20 minutes you can make a fun "egg hunt" sign for Easter with inexpensive supplies!
Finally, I made a little bunting out of scrapbook paper that says “EGG HUNT,” and tacked that on to the top of the sign. In just 20 minutes you can make a fun "egg hunt" sign for Easter with inexpensive supplies!
Super quick, super easy! My kind of craft! 🙂  In just 20 minutes you can make a fun "egg hunt" sign for Easter with inexpensive supplies!
The best part of this egg hunt is that nobody gets trampled.

    It’s very cute, Bre! Your mantle is so beautifully decorated. Wish you could come and do mine! The egg garland is so festive. We are still covered with snow and muck here and it just doesn’t feel like Easter, but you are inspiring me:)

      Thank you, Seana!! We had a major glimpse of spring yesterday when it was about 65 degrees. Today it’s freezing again, but I am putting winter “away!” I hope the weather turns for you soon!

    Modernizing a Mirrored Wall: Tape to the Rescue!

    One of the biggest challenges in my Office and Guest Room Combo Makeover was modernizing a mirrored wall that screamed “hello, it’s 1980.”  OK, obviously it didn’t really scream that, but it might as well have! Of course I thought about removing the mirrored wall altogether.  But when I researched how to do that, I […]

    DIY Dollar Tree Easter Carrot Decor

    I’ve made a lot of Easter crafts over the years, and they’ve all tended to focus on bunnies and eggs.  Now I’m in an Easter carrot decor phase.  (It’s a real thing.)  Last year’s Easter craft post was this Carrot Door Hanger, and this year it’s all about the carrots, too. You’d think that I […]

    How to Paint Furniture Without Using a Topcoat or Sealer

    As I’ve alluded to before, I am super impatient when it comes to my projects (and well, most everything in life.  Patience is not my strong suit.).  I love instant gratification and I don’t like for any project to take too long.  That’s probably why I fell in love with chalky finish paint; most every […]

    Office and Guest Room Combo: How to Create a Double-Duty Space

    Our ‘new’ home has one more bedroom than at our last house, and because of that, we had no furniture for it.  It’s pretty tiny, but with some creative planning I turned it into an office and guest room combo space that easily pulls double-duty, making it a totally functional WIN for my family!   With […]
