Easter is rapidly approaching isn't it?
Perfect time to select some fanciful Easter freebies and tutorials to share.
Revisiting some faves can be so much fun.
These pressed sugar pretties are made using the same technique for panoramic sugar eggs.
Click here for my panoramic sugar egg tutorial.
The tutorial will show you how to press sugar as seen here, as well as make panoramic eggs.
You can then use that basic skill to add food coloring to your sugar and press sugar into any sort of mold or tin or tea cup you'd like in order to come up with fun shapes.
Just click on the link above for an easy how to.
It's addicting and oh so fun I tell ya.
Okay so, next let's plunge into some free printable freebies.
Let's begin with these cutie egg wrappers.
They are free and printable, simply Click Here for Printable PDF .
I drew these little cutie heads and love sharing them with you.
Humphrey is a hoot isn't he?

Simply print, cut & use.
You can use standard printer paper or card stock.

What about some more cutie egg head wrappers you ask?
These are a singing trio!
Simply CLICK HERE for your free printable pdf.
Give the pdf several seconds to open.
Easy right?
I just used everyday printer paper for mine.
But you can use anything you want, such as card stock.
Then just cut them out and stick the bands together on the back with tape.
Easy as pie!
And what a cute treat for egg recipients, don'tcha think?
You can also use them to wrap around plastic eggs.
Or doll them up even extra with paper and glitter as you see below.
These are elfin Easter egg wrappers.

Where I come from you will always see cascarones on Easter.
What are cascarones you ask?
Basically hollowed out and washed/dried egg shells, that you fill with glitter and paper confetti.
That are then decorated.
Traditionally broken on people's heads for fun in Mexico, during Easter.
Here's a style I like to make.
If you would like to make a cone cascaron, which I grew up with, and sparkle it up all pretty, click here for ideas and tips.
And last but not least, we can not forget panoramic sugar eggs.
The tutorial to make these can be found right here.
They are incredibly fulfilling to make.
Mine have kept perfectly for years now.
The peeking inside is really magical.
I highly recommend giving them a whirl.
Like I said at the beginning -
You can use the panoramic egg technique for pressing sugar to make all different types of shapes.
The sky is the limit!
Fun fun!!
Now hopefully the Easter bunny will stay up long enough to make his rounds.
But I seriously doubt it.
:-)
Hope you enjoyed the freebies and tuts.
I sure love sharing with you & hope even one person gets a use out of these treats.
That would make me extra happy.
Time to start feverishly crafting my friends.

Happiest Easter Wishes to you and yours <3 <3 <3
