Today’s craft is a paint chip garland! It’s an easy and inexpensive way to make a darling Easter craft for you or your kids!
This week, I found myself in charge of activity days at my church (it’s where girls ages 8-12 and I wanted to do an Easter craft. Since the girls are younger and a variety of ages, I had to think of something that would be on all skill levels!
I saw this awesome garland from modern parents messy kids and knew it would be perfect!

Supplies to make Easter egg paint chip garland
- paint chips
- scissors
- tape or glue
- ribbon or twine
- template (free down below!)
Just an FYI- I always ask when taking paint chips for art projects! The companies are always great and let me take a nice variety! But I just think it’s common courtesy to ask!
How to make a garland
I have a template down below. Kids can trace them onto the paint chips and then cut out!
For my galrnad, I just taped the backs to some bakers twine. For the kids activity, I wanted to make it last a little bit longer! I thought the kids could decorate the eggs with glitter glue or puff paint.
But then I decided to add some beads in between each eggs. I don’t really have a budget to spend, so instead of beads, I got a box of penne rigate!
