To make the Easter storage jars you will need:

Jam jars
Hot glue gun
Small plastic toys
Spray paint

How to make the Easter storage jars:

Clean the jam jars thoroughly, removing any sticky labels from the glass. Then use a hot glue gun to stick one toy onto the top of each lid.
Spray the lid with three or four light coats of paint. A few light coats are better than one or two thick ones, as it prevents the paint from running.
Leave the paint to dry a day or two before you fill the jars with sweet treats.

Picture frame
Plain paper
Tissue paper
Paper tapes
Glue

How to make an Easter frame decoration:

Cut out the coloured card for your background to the same size as your frame backing. Position the rabbit template centrally on the card, draw around it, then cut it out.
Then on a piece of plain paper (cut to the same size as the picture frame backing), mark where the rabbit will be positioned.
Cut strips of coloured paper, tissue paper and paper tapes and layer them on the plain paper, so that they stretch further than the rabbit cut-out will sit.
Put your rabbit cut-out over the top of the paper, then pop it into the picture frame.
