These chocolate bunnies were inspired by the Santa and Snowmen chocolate bars from the December 2010 issue of Living. Do you remember these?

Meaning Behind Easter Jelly Beans

"The Meaning Behind Easter Jelly Beans
RED is for the blood He gave,
GREEN is for the grass He made.
YELLOW is for the sun so bright,
ORANGE is for all He made right.
BLACK is for the sins we made,
WHITE is for the grace He gave.
PURPLE is for His hour of sorrow,
PINK is for the promise of life eternal.
Ann egg full of jelly beans so colorful and sweet,
Is a prayer, is a promise, is a loved one's treat."

Wire Egg Holder

Great job Lemon tree creations
A pen was too tiny for the loops so I wrapped the wire around a glue stick and a screwdriver too. I made about 6 loops around and then cut the end."

Washcloth Rabbits

Fold washcloth in half length wise, then

in half again so you have one long strip.              

2. Fold in half width wise now
3. Cross the two ends of the cloth

4. Fold the crossed section back

5. Tie the ribbon around the cloth to hold

the crossed sections back. This

creates the head, ears, and body of the

rabbit

6. Complete by adding eyes and other

decorations as desired. This bunny

can even hold an Easter egg!

Requirements:

Bohemian Easter Eggs Designs

Prepare the dye - In a large (6-8 quart) pot bring water and onion skins to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, continuing to reduce the liquid and adding more water as needed for 3 hours or so. You will want enough liquid to cover all of your eggs completely. Strain removing the onion skins, saving the reddish-brown liquid. Be careful to remove all onion skin residue from the liquid. Allow the liquid to cool to room temperature.

Decorate the eggs - Place the bee's wax in a small metal container on very low heat. The wax should be liquid, but should be prevented from boiling. Decorate the raw eggs by dipping the burnt end of the kitchen match into the liquid wax and quickly dragging the end of the match across the egg. There's only one way to learn the timing and strokes necessary to leave the right amount of wax on the egg. Practice makes perfect.

Boil the eggs -

Tips -

• At first, use vinegar to clean the eggs, wipe off the oily spots on the shell (and finger marks); they would show up because the dye wouldn't cover these places.
• Try using the round end of a pin (inserted in a shaft of wood) instead of matchstick.
• Try using a "pen" made of goose feather
• No need to use bee wax,  use normal candle wax
