Faith-Based Ideas for Easter Crafts
Celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with faith-based Easter crafts. “On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus…“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!” – Luke 24.
A Resurrection Garden makes a great Easter centerpiece throughout the week of Easter. It’s a hands on activity for the whole family. You make three wooden crosses out of twigs and twine, Jesus’ grave out of a sideways flower pot and plant grass that grows throughout the week. Rocks represent the stone rolled away from the grave. Beth Gorden of 123 Homeschool 4 Me will walk you through a step by step guide to make your own Resurrection Garden.

More faith-based ideas for Easter crafts include Resurrection Eggs and easy paper crafts of the three crosses on Calvary. Homemade Resurrection Eggs are a fun way to teach your children about Jesus and the Easter story. Courtney from Women Living Well Ministries teaches you how to make this craft for your children.
You just need a dozen plastic Easter eggs, an egg carton, as well as small items to represent the Bible verses that tell the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Each egg holds a rolled up piece of paper with scripture and a small item. For example, Resurrection Egg No. 4 has a toothpick to represent thorns and the scripture Matthew 27:29: “Then they made a crown out of thorny branches and placed it on His head, and put a stick on His right hand; then they knelt before Him and made fun of Him. ‘Long live the King, of the Jews!” they said.” Each scripture explains a part of the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Ideas for Easter crafts can be created from construction paper, too. Simple paper crafts can teach a lesson about Easter, while creating beautiful artwork.
