Easter Egg Bag

Crochet Easter Egg Bags

This year we are skipping the plastic Easter eggs, and paper confetti, and making these super quick, and easy crochet eggs! We are filling them with 'Yarn Confetti', or jelly beans, to hide and gift to friends and family.

These cute and fun crochet Easter EGG BAGS work up so quick, that you can make them and fill an Easter basket in no time.  Make eggs to hang, display, or hide these joyful little eggs filled with treats, like jelly beans or tiny toys like marbles, and  make delightful little Easter treats.

Pick your favorite colors, work up some quick egg bases, then have fun decorating your many eggs. Make with or without lines and dots, or add fun bunny and chick faces.

Skip the sweat treats and be like Pooh, stuffed with fluff! We use 'yarn confetti' 🎉 for stuffing.

While I have been using yarn for stuffing for many years, I never thought to give it a name. The adorable name Yarn Confetti comes from this crafty YouTuber Nicole, of Off the Hook Crochet aka Yarn glitter.

Egg bags are affectionately dubbed 'Easter Beggs'

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, happy crocheting, and Happy Easter! 🐰 🐣
