Fill this treasure box with trinkets, photos, or anything else your child wants to keep near (and dear!) to her heart! Materials Ruler Decorative paper Small, empty matchbox Craft glue Thumbtack Wooden skewer Large-eyed needle Narrow ribbon  Instructions Measure and cut a piece of paper to wrap around the box, then cut two more pieces to cover the ends of the drawer. Glue the paper to the box and let it dry completely. Remove the drawer and use the thumbtack to punch two holes, side-by-side, in the side of the box. Use the pointed end of the skewer to slightly enlarge the holes. Use the needle to thread the ribbon down through one hole and up through the other, then knot the ribbon against the outside of the box. Line the draw

I made these early this year so I could show you how to do it! It was a lot of fun and not as hard as I thought it would be.  I originally found this on the Not Martha Blog that a friend posted but I did things a little bit different.  EMPTYING THE EGGS  I took a push pin and poked a small hole in one end of the egg.  I took a pair of nail scissors and carefully cut a bigger whole around the bottom and tried REALLY hard not to crack the whole egg.  The trick is to keep your hand really steady and move around the circle slowly.  Make the hole big enough so that you can fit fun little treats inside.  I accidentally grabbed large eggs instead of jumbo ones which would have worked better because I could have fit more things inside.

Materials Small flat leaves (we used fern, cilantro, dill, thyme, and mint leaves) Hard-boiled white eggs Nylon stockings, cut into 3-inch-long sections Rubber bands Water White vinegar Food coloring Large glasses, one for each dye bath (be sure they're wide enough to hold an egg) Spoon -Lay a leaf on an egg, then cover it with a section of nylon stocking to hold it in place. Pull together both open ends of the stocking, then twist the ends together and secure them with a rubber band.      For each dye bath, mix 1/2 cup warm water, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and 10 to 20 drops of food coloring in a glass. Carefully submerge the nylon-wrapped egg in the bath and let it soak for about 4 minutes. Use a spoon to remove the egg from the dye bath and set it on a covered work surface. Carefully remove the rubber band, nylon, and leaf. Allow the egg to dry completely before further handling it. Materials Eggs Stickers Dye You can use letters, a
