Girl's Easter Gift Ideas: Free Printable

Happy St. Patrick's Eve! What better time than to share another Easter idea, right?

I promise this was leprechaun-approved.

Spring always seems to get my creative juices flowing again so I couldn't wait any longer to share this project and to be honest I thought St. Patrick's Day was last weekend. Oops.

So now that all has been forgiven, let's get on with today's post!

Have you seen these hairband lollipops at Michaels?

I thought they were really sweet and fun.

Over the years, I have shared a handful of gift ideas of  goodies that I have sent out to my nieces in Colorado and I thought these "lollipops" would be perfect for Easter.

They're tweens so they're all about their nails and hair and unicorns, oh my!

Okay, maybe I was kidding about the unicorn part but still what girl doesn't love to play with her hair at this age, right? Of course, I had to include a printable to go along with their gifts and of course, it involved a pun because you guys know how I love me some cheesy puns!
I can just see my hubby rolling his eyes now.

I designed a pink one too.

Download the pink card here.

Simply just print and cut!

The cards are 5 x 7 and are best printed on plain, white card stock.

I plan on slipping my cards and lollipops into a cellophane bag but you could always hole punch two small holes into the left side of the card and slip the ribbon through to attach the lollipops to the card stock.
Double sided tape may work too.

Attaching an Easter bow or wrapping a top knot fabric headband around the card would also be a cute way to use these printables! These would also make for some adorable Easter favors for a Girl's Scout troop, dance squad, or athletic team.

So what do you guys think? I think they'll get a kick out of it.
I may actually be up for the "Aunt of the Year" award again!
Wink, wink.
As always, I LOVE to hear when people get use out of my printables!

Tween Girl Easter Basket Idea: Easter Egg Nail Kit

Lately, I've been on a quest for some pre-teen girl's Easter basket ideas. I have three tween nieces and like OMG plush bunnies and decorative chocolate eggs just don't kick it anymore. Can you say #hashtag lame?

I was trying to think of something that would appeal to both the child and the pre-adolescent in them and was super excited when I finally came up with these fun and adorable

Easter Egg Nail Kits. 

What girl doesn't love painting her nails, right?
Two of my nieces live out west but every time they come
out to visit a day at the nail spa is always on the agenda.
They love to do all those fun and funky colors and designs on their nails.
So I thought an Easter inspired nail kit would be an EGG-TASTIC idea.
Punny, pun, pun... you guys know I love me some puns!

In case you would like to create your own little egg nail kit here's the deets.

Both the pink plastic Easter eggs and felt bows were found at Michaels.
The nail polish and stickers were picked up at Ulta.
The cool double-sided polishes are from the Revlon Nail Art Expressionist line.

Conveniently, the bows came attached to some doubled sided foam adhesive so I just simply stuck them to the bottles of nail polish.

Next, I filled the bottom of my plastic eggs with some shredded green card stock.
You can use Easter grass if you so desire but I found it was a little cray cray to work with --strands sticking out here, there, and every where.

After you get your eggs filled with grass you can start adding your nail kit supplies. These eggs are a generous size so you could even add buffers, nail clippers, and other items if you want.

Lastly, top off your kit with a cute Easter tag.
I was trying to think of something Eastery to add to my tag when it hit me
 "cottontails and painted nails" rhymed perfectly! I wish I had genius moments like this more often.

I created the tags using Pic Monkey . I thought their bunny was super cute.

I'm thinking they will be as pleased as punch with their Easter goodies.
I may need to dust of thee ol' mantle to make room for the" Aunt of the Year" trophy. Wink, wink.

Girl's Bubble Gum Necklace Tutorial

So remember the freezer paper stenciled favor bags I shared the other day?

Well, I mentioned I was working on a little something-something to go in these favor bags.

And now here's that something-something.

Bubble gum necklaces!

These are my little Valentine treats I made up to send to my nieces & to give to one of our little neighborhood friends.

I know they say diamonds are a girl's best friend but I'm thinking for the 10 & younger crowd it may be something like bubble gum & unicorns.....oh, and that Justin Bieber kid.

Interested in making some fun bubble gum necklaces yourself?

They are super easy to put together

{the only hard part is piercing the gumball with out destroying it!} 

and you can mix & match

the colors to spice things up a bit.

Step 1: Pierce a hole on one side of the gumball using a metal skewer, or knitting needle, or get totally creative & crazy and use a meat thermometer as I did {a clean one of course!}. Avoid piercing the hole all the way through, otherwise the gumball will just crack in half.

Step 2: Flip the the gumball over and pierce a hole on the other side.

Try to line this hole up with the first hole you pierced on the other side.

Step 3: String your ribbon through the hole using a long needle.

The thicker the ribbon the harder it is to loop through.

Step: Tie the ends of your ribbon into a bow.

To fancy things up tie a coordinating bow around the necklace near

the bubblegum.

I found the bubblegum at our local Party City.

They have a variety of fun colors to choose from.

  Pretty enough to wear or eat!
Next week I hope to share the Valentine I'm working on for my nephew.
See you on the flip side.
