Easter Craft Ideas for Adults

Here at the Ministry of Biscuits, we love getting a bit crafty, so we’re sharing some of our Easter craft ideas to help you bust any half term boredom, whilst also creating some cracking spring centrepieces. These Easter crafts for adults will add egg-stra special touch to your Easter festivities.
Let's get started...

1. Make a decorative Easter wreath
Wreaths aren’t just for Christmas you know. Brighten up your front door this spring with your very own creation that’ll have all your neighbours green with envy.

2. Create an Easter Tree with a Biscuiteers Twist

For an Easter centrepiece fit for the Easter Bunny’s dinner party, why not try your hand at icing decorations for your Easter tree? The Easter Tree originally stems from a tradition in Germany and Austria, where they celebrate Easter by hanging hollow eggs from the branches of trees. But we’ve added a Biscuiteers twist with our DIY Easter Tree kit, so you can get involved with this unique tradition and create your own biscuit decorations at home!
Inside our DIY tin, you’ll find:
- 12 ready baked lemon Easter egg biscuits
- Piping bags
- Icing sugar
- Colourful decorations
- Gold ribbons
- A step-by-step guide

…but why not follow along as Harriet from the Ministry of Biscuits shows you how to ice your biscuits to perfection

3. Get crafty with your Biscuiteers Tin

When the sun is shining (we know, it doesn’t happen often) why not get outside and start your Spring garden? Get the kids involved with this easy Easter craft activity.

One of the loveliest things about our biscuit collections is being able to keep the hand-illustrated gift tin once the biscuits have been eaten. Here’s our easy guide for how to plant succulents in your Biscuiteers gift tin. Alan the gardener jolly would approve.
You'll need:
- 1 Biscuiteers gift tin

- A selection of succulents, available from florists and garden centres

- A hammer and nail

- Cacti and succulent potting soil

- Pebbles or stones

• A small gardening trowel or spoon
  Step by step guide:

1. First things first, eat the biscuits!
   
   2. Prepare your gift tin by removing any biscuit crumbs and giving the inside a good wipe, and drying it.

3. Next create a base for the potting soil by filling the tin with your pebbles or rocks. Aim for ¼ of the tin’s depth. This also provides further drainage for the succulents.

5. Then comes the soil, spoon this over the rocks until the tin is ½ or ¾ full.

6. Using your finger make a small hole in the soil and then one by one remove each succulent from its packaging and place them into the holes. After you’ve positioned each succulent carefully pack the soil around it by pressing down with your fingers.

7. To finish your arrangement off, spoon in an additional layer of soil followed by a layer of stones.
