With Easter quickly passing us by, you may find you have a lot of leftover Easter decorating materials. From colored plastic eggs, to Easter grass, you probably have tons of decorations that you will now either have to store, throw away, or find some way to re-purpose. Throwing your leftover Easter packing supplies is easily the worst option, as it will likely end up decomposing in a landfill, filling our air and groundwater with harmful petrochemicals.
Instead, you might opt to store the goods away until next year. If you are highly organized this might seem like the best option, but for most of us, once Easter rolls around next year, we’ll have long forgotten all those supplies we saved. Instead, with a little creativity, Easter decorations can be reused year around. Here are several things you can do with your leftover Easter supplies.
Reuse Fake Grass As Packing Cushion
Fake grass makes for a perfect infill when shipping fragile items. You can use your leftover Easter grass to cushion bottles, fragile decorations, or antiques. Since the grass is relatively light, compressible, and takes up a lot of space, it can help keep your items safe from damage during the often perilous shipping process.
Leftover Baskets Have Many Uses
Leftover Easter baskets can be reused in so many ways, you are truly only limited by your imagination. They can make a great bathroom decorating accessory, when filled with seashells or toilet paper, or they can be used as a baby doll bed for your little girl. They can even help you organize your home office, or your crafts closet!
With a little creative thinking, you should have no problem making use of all of your leftover Easter supplies!
