How to decorate Princess Elsa Easter eggs

Popular Easter egg designs will include those characters from Disney’s hit animated movie, Frozen: Princess Anna, her sister Princess Elsa, Kristoff the outdoorsman, Olaf, Sven the reindeer and Hans the handsome royal. Instead of purchasing the typical and costly Disney Easter egg coloring kit, be unique and decorate your own.

To make Queen Elsa Easter eggs, supplies needed include:

- Hard boiled eggs
- acrylic paints or markers in blue, brown, black, red and pink colors
- Hot glue sticks and hot glue gun
- Black sharpie markers (fine and medium point)

To begin, boil the eggs and let them cool.

To make Elsa’s facial features:

1. Start with Elsa’s hair as this is a large part of the egg. Cover one side with brown paint or marker for the back of her head. Then, draw several slanted lines down the front of the egg forming Elsa’s bangs. To create Elsa’s “braid”, make criss cross X-shaped patterns in the lower brown portion of the egg.

2. Draw two circles somewhat close together near the top portion of the egg. Add a couple semi-circle lines to the sides of the circles to form eyelashes

3. Using red marker or paint, draw a smile for Elsa’s mouth

4. For Elsa’s rosey cheeks, use pink marker or paint to form two smaller circles.

Once Princess Elsa’s hair and facial features are complete, prop Elsa up in a cardboard egg holder or use the caps off of 12-16 oz water bottles as a base.

To begin, boil the eggs and let them cool. Gather several baby carrots, clean them and then cut one end off at a slanted angle. If desired, thin the baby carrot into a pointed nose shape using a paring knife so that it fits Olaf’s face.

To make Olaf’s facial features:

1. Download the Olaf face template available here.
2. Print the template (use zoom in feature for a smaller version) to fit the egg.
3. Cut out the pieces of Olaf’s face (eyebrows, eyes, mouth) and tape the pieces onto the egg.

To make an Olaf the Snowman Valentine card box holder for boys and girls, supplies

needed include:

- White wrapping paper
- White tissue paper (optional)
- Foam sheets: orange, black, brown, white
- Olaf template
- Empty cereal box

How to Make a Princess Elsa Valentine’s Day Box

Popular Valentine’s Day cards for this year will include those characters from Disney’s hit animated movie, Frozen: Princess Elsa, her sister Princess Anna, Kristoff the outdoorsman, Olaf, Sven the reindeer and Hans the handsome royal. Instead of purchasing the typical and costly Disney Valentine holder, be unique and build your own!

Queen Elsa of Arendelle, also known as The Snow Queen, is the older sister of Princess Anna and was next in line for Arendelle's throne until her powers over ice and snow led her to become the famous Snow Queen. To make the fairy princess holder for special deliveries of Valentine's Day cards from cupid and other pen pals, supplies needed include:

- Cereal Box
- 2” Letter stickers
- Sparkle snowflake stickers
- Artificial flowers or other bling for braid
- Small rubber bands
- Hot glue sticks and hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Ribbon
- Off white colored yarn
- Blue construction paper or cardstock
- Elsa face template

To begin, cut an opening in the top of the cereal box. Then, cover the box in colored paper of your choice (cardstock is heavier and will hold up better, but construction paper will do).

Print the Elsa face template using a color printer. Cut around Elsa (including the hair) and glue the image to the front right side of the box, leaving room on the left front side for the child’s name.

To make Queen Elsa’s hair:
Use a wide object to wrap the yarn around. For example, use a kitchen chair and wrap the yarn around until pleased with the thickness of the ponytail. Slide the yarn off of the object and cut in ½, making 2 long groups of yarn. Set one group of strands aside (this will be used for the bangs). Using the other group of long yarn strands, tie one end with a rubber brand. Braid the ponytail and secure the end with the other rubber band. Decorate the braided ponytail with bling, ribbon, artificial flowers or something more lovely for Valentine’s Day, like hearts or diamonds!

Using the other group of yarn strands, cut into strips of various length. Lay the yarn strips over Elsa’s head to form bangs. Once satisfied with the look, hot glue the strands in place.

Finish the Frozen Valentine’s Holder by decorating the left front side and back side of the box with sparkle and letter stickers. Be sure to include the child’s name on the box so others know whose crafty creation it is.
