5 Easter Glitter Craft Ideas for a Joyful Spring!

Easter is the perfect time to unleash your creativity, and there’s no better way to brighten up the season than with a touch of glitter. Whether you're planning an Easter celebration, keeping the family entertained over the holidays, or simply want to add some sparkle to your spring décor, we’ve got you covered. Here are five fabulous glitter craft ideas to try this Easter using Hemway glitter craft boxes – 54 tubes of glitter in all different colours and sizes!

1. Glitter-Decorated Plastic Easter Eggs

Forget plain pastel eggs - this year, let’s go all out with shimmering, glitter-covered versions. Pick up a pack of hollow plastic Easter eggs and coat them with PVA glue using a paintbrush. Roll or sprinkle them in your favourite Hemway glitter colours - pastels, neons, or even glitter shapes for that extra pop. Let them dry, then fill them with treats, small toys, or even sweet little notes. They make perfect centrepieces or gifts for an egg hunt with extra dazzle and fun.

2. Create a Glittery Easter Egg Basket

What’s an Easter egg hunt without a basket to gather your finds? Start with a plain wicker or cardboard basket and give it new life with glitter! Use glue to draw swirls, dots, bunny shapes or even your name, then sprinkle on your chosen glitter. For a pastel aesthetic, mix soft pinks and blues with iridescent white. Add ribbon, paper grass, and maybe a glittery chick or two to finish the look. Whether for gifting or displaying, your glitter basket will steal the show!

3. DIY Glitter Bunny Garland

Bring your walls, mantelpiece or garden fence to life with a cute bunny garland. Cut bunny shapes out of thick cards, punch small holes in their ears, and give each one a glitter makeover. Mix and match colours or stick to a theme - think golden bunnies for a luxury look or rainbow bunnies for a party vibe. Thread them onto a length of string or ribbon, and hang them up wherever you need a splash of seasonal sparkle!

4. Sparkly Easter Cards

Send some love this Easter with handmade cards bursting with charm. Fold a few sheets of quality card and get creative - think glittery Easter eggs, chicks, bunnies, or spring flowers. Use glue pens or spreaders for precision when drawing your designs, then shake on the glitter. Finish with handwritten messages, washi tape, or a bit of pressed dried flower detail. These personalised cards are great for the whole family to make, and perfect to give to friends and family who love a thoughtful touch.

5. Glitter Jar Lanterns for Easter Evenings

As the sun sets on Easter Sunday, let your glitter crafts light the way. Use recycled jars to make charming lanterns - brush the inside with glue, then coat with fine glitter. Once dry, drop in battery-operated tea lights. You could even add bunny or egg-shaped silhouettes on the outside using masking tape before applying glitter to create magical shadow designs. These lanterns are perfect for table settings or lining a garden path during a twilight egg hunt.
