8 Elegant Paper Crafts for Easter and Spring

Spring has finally sprung here in the mid-Atlantic states... the grass is greening up and birds are chirping. To go hand in hand with these welcome sights and sounds, here's a pretty gathering of pastel tutorials for dressing a table in springy decor.


Casey Starks of Vitamini Handmade shows how to make beautiful marbled paper mache eggs that can be part of your Easter decorations for years to come. Use the same technique to marble sheets of paper.


Liz Fourez of Love Grows Wild shows how to make delicate watercolor flowers.

Mandy Pellegrin of Fabric Paper Glue shared a tutorial for making paper covered floral cocktail party coasters on Oh So Beautiful Paper - they'll come in handy all spring and summer long.
