When it comes to Easter, so many people focus on filling Easter baskets with the best Easter candies and Easter gifts. Instead of running back out to the store (although you will find some stores open on Easter), make cute DIY Easter cards to hand out to family and friends instead. These Easter crafts and bunny crafts in card form are the perfect way to remind your loved ones that you're thinking of them this Easter season.
You might not even have to head to the craft store, since most of these projects are made with items you likely already have at home: paper, markers, colored pencils, and glue sticks. However, for those looking for a bit more of a challenge, know that there are a few options that require a Cricut thrown in, too. Some of these cute cards will even double as Easter decorations, such as the photo bunny card or one of the 3D cards. The best part is that all of these cards are kid-friendly, so they'll make for a fun afternoon activity as well!
All this is to say, before adding another store-bought item to your child's Easter basket or your parent's gift, consider creating your very own DIY Easter cards this year instead for a sweet, homemade touch. Now you just have to decide which happy Easter wishes, meaningful Easter quotes, or funny Easter jokes to write inside!
