Well, you\u2019ve come to the right place. Pull up a seat to the counter, and I\u2019ll tell you about everything that\u2019s hot and happening.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Summit County\u2019s famous egg hunts that draw hundreds of participants unfortunately aren\u2019t happening this year due to the novel coronavirus. However, you don\u2019t have to let that stop you from enjoying Easter. Here are some ideas on how to spruce up your home and celebrate the holiday indoors. Best of all, they utilize common household items, thereby limiting trips to the store.<\/p>\n<p>One decoration Becca Spiro, owner of The Frosted Flamingo mobile art studio, suggested is a chick puppet. Made from a handprint, similar to the kid-friendly turkey crafts for Thanksgiving, you can glue on feathers, eyes, accordion legs and straw to hold it up.<\/p>\n<p>Borrowing from another holiday, a Spiro suggested making houses for marshmallow&nbsp;Peeps out of graham crackers and icing. They can then be decorated with chocolate eggs, Easter grass and other candy, like you would decorate a gingerbread house.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<div class=\"row sd-donation sd-donation-mobile p-0\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/sdn-banner-paypal.jpg)\" class=\"col-xl-8 p-3 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/donate\/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=donation&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=mid-article\">Donate<\/a><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s always substitutes,\u201d Spiro said. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have watercolor paint, that\u2019s OK. Use tempera paint or whatever you have. That\u2019s the fun part about art; sometimes the best things come out of improvising.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ashlie Weisel of The Sunny Side Up Studio enjoys honoring and adapting different traditions, as well. Because she lived in Germany, she recommends making an&nbsp;Osterbaum for something unique. Take a houseplant or an artificial tree \u2014 maybe one from Christmas \u2014 and don it with painted plastic eggs filled with treats to be opened on Easter.<\/p>\n<p>You can also cut out bunnies to string on the branches like garland or use Easter-themed stencils to repurpose cardboard takeout boxes to either hang on the tree or become its own canvas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaint over something that\u2019s from Christmas,\u201d Weisel said. \u201cYou don\u2019t even have to worry about going to the store. Just use what you have and upcycle it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While there\u2019s nothing wrong with dyeing hard-boiled eggs or painting hollowed-out shells with acrylics, Weisel and Spiro have a few alternatives in mind if you don\u2019t have eggs on hand.<\/p>\n<p>For one, you can paint wooden eggs found at craft or big-box stores. But if that isn\u2019t an option, they suggest making some out of&nbsp;Play-Doh&nbsp;or salt dough \u2014 a homemade clay-like mixture of flour, salt and water \u2014 that can be shaped, dried and decorated. Spiro also recommends cutting an egg out of a thick piece of paper, like cardstock, and using a combination of shaving cream and paint to give it a marbleized appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Then it\u2019s time to hunt for the eggs. Spiro and Weisel suggested making a scavenger hunt with clues, which can be a good way to involve older siblings by having them pitch in on coming up with hints. For younger children, like Weisel\u2019s 3-year-old, she likes to print out bunny paw prints that lead to egg locations.<\/p>\n<p>If you need more ideas or guidance, <a href=\"https:\/\/frostedflamingo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Frosted Flamingo<\/a><i class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\"><\/i> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ashlie-weisel-5nd5.squarespace.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Sunny Side Up Studio<\/a><i class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\"><\/i> are also selling Easter craft kits and posting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thesunnysideupstudio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tutorials<\/a><i class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thefrostedflamingollc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online<\/a><i class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\"><\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/the-geiger-counter-indoor-decoration-ideas-for-easter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outdoor Easter egg hunts are canceled, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t celebrate the holiday at home.
