An Easter Cookie Decorating Kit that is super fun & easy to make….you in?
When my kids were younger, one of their very favourite activities in the kitchen was to decorate cookies. They didn’t care what kind of cookies….as long as there were frosting and sprinkles involved, it was total awesome-sauce for them!
One of the reasons that I love blogging is that I have an outlet for my creative brain activity to go!
It comes out in creations and colours and fun photos like this project.
The inspiration for this project came from seeing these little candy kits at places like Williams Sonoma and Chapters, except those kits cost a gazillion dollars. I don’t have a gazillion dollars, so I made one for about $4… {insert happy smile here}. These organizing boxes can easily be found at the dollar store, and after a good washing in soap & water, I filled one up with Easter candy and sprinkles from the local bulk food joint. Then I tied it up with pretty purple baker’s twine and a chipboard tag from my scrapbooking stash.
I made these delicious soft sugar cookies from my Grandmother’s sugar cookie recipe, and tied them up with more baker’s twine. If you are not a baker or don’t have the time, you could easily use a roll of purchased sugar cookie dough….just wrap some Easter paper around it.
A can of purchased frosting completes the kit. I wrapped some scrapbook paper around the can and embellished with more twine and a little tag. Homemade frosting in a mason jar would be just as great!
This would be such a fabulous gift for little kids or big kids for an Easter activity.
It would work well as a take home from a birthday party too.
And what a hootin’ surprise this would be to mail to someone special…can you imagine their surprise in opening this?
Laughs and smiles I tell ya!
Have you started any Easter crafting/projects or is it a little too early?
Part of being in blogland means that projects are always shared early so readers can have the time to shop and make their creations at home before the holiday hits.
But I don’t mind sharing early…and my family certainly doesn’t mind eating cookies {wink}.
Thank you so much for visiting!

That's very cute and makes me want to try those sugar cookies!
Great idea to make the little collection of sprinkles and candies. I may put that in an Easter-in-a-box that I will send to my daughter at university so she can decorate a cake/cupcakes for Easter. Thanks for the idea.
This is too cute!! I would love for you to come share this at my Link Party!
I just love how even the simplest of things can make stuff look WOW…the paper around the frosting can for example and the bakers twine.
I've pinned this as well as I'm in love with the picture!
So fun! Thanks for sharing at Keep Calm & Link Up this weekend!!
You are one very creative lady and you've had some great projects to share. I don't have children around anymore, therefore I don't do fun projects such as this. Seeing your recent posts makes me wish I did, though.

Great idea for children/grandchildren, to be creative. Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
What a fun idea and this would be a creative way to add a new twist to an Easter basket. Just pinned!
You always have the most adorable ideas! I love this and I hope to have a party soon where I can put it to use!
What a cute idea Angie! I love it! There's a family I already have in mind to give this to for Easter. The boys will love it! =)

Very cute!!
What an adorable idea! I love that you found a way to get the look of the more expensive thing at a much more reasonable price.

I love your Easter cookie decorating kit. The way you dressed up the tub of frosting is so festive and creative. Who wouldn't love to receive this as a gift? Thanks for sharing on Artsy Play Wednesday.
This is so visually appealing. I can't believe how fun it looks! We are starting a link up party on Thursdays (today:), and we would love for you to join us with this post and/or any others you would like to include. We are at allthingswithpurpose.com. Hope to see you there!!

Hey, Angie. Thanks for the inspiration. I did use your candy idea for Kate's Easter-in-a-box this year. You can see the final results here: http://gracie-senseandsimplicity.blogspot.ca/2013/03/turquoise-easter-in-box.html
