DIY Religious Easter Craft

This is a fun and easy way to celebrate the religious part of Easter.  All you need is an egg carton, some plastic eggs, and a few items from around your house. You can add whatever you want to dress it up a bit.

 

1. Number your eggs from 1-12. I used small white tags that I purchased at Wal-Mart and cut the numbers from some scrapbook paper. You can also use stickers or just write the numbers on your eggs with a Sharpie. The tags were on white string and the eggs had tiny holes on them so I threaded the string through the hole and taped the string to the inside of the egg.

 

2. Label your tags with the corresponding scriptures or type a list and adhere to the inside of the box.

1—Matthew 26:39
2—Matthew 26:14-15
3—Matthew 27:1-2
4—Matthew 27:24
5—Matthew 27:28-30
6—Matthew 27:31-32
7—Matthew 37:35-36
8—Matthew 27:50-54
9—Matthew 27:58-59
10—Matthew 27:60
11-Mark 16:1-4
12—Matthew 28:5-6

 

3. Add the following items to the corresponding eggs:

1—a small cup
2—30 dimes
3—a small piece of rope
4—soap
5—a piece of red cloth
6—nails
7—dice
8—dirt
9—a piece of white cloth
10—dried herbs or spices
11—a rock
12—leave empty

 

4. Grab a Bible and your family and take turns reading the scriptures and opening the eggs…a great way to spend time as a family celebrating the religious part of Easter. Or add some fun pretties and give the carton as a gift.
