Crafting with glass and porcelain for Easter

During the Easter period, glass and porcelain items are very popular for making Easter decorations. The separable VBS ceramic egg, for example, is perfect for hiding Easter surprises. A nice idea is provided by the instructions for a ceramic egg as an Easter nest, which you can use to make a colourful, creative Easter egg. You can also use tea light jars for your Easter table decorations. For example, the idea of decorating wooden tea light holders with a pair of rabbits is particularly beautiful. Or you can use these tea lights for a macramé decoration with a natural look.
