He is risen kids craft

While we're on the subject of tying things to pieces of string, you would have had to have been walking around with your eyes closed not to notice the immense popularity of bunting this last year or so, in the U.K. at least.

It seems to be the must-have shabby chic retro home decoration right now. Well then, what about this for some trendy fun?

Make some bunting with paper and letters. Using a4 or a5 card, get the kids to draw out large letters, filling the card with each letter.

Use a catchy Christian phrase like 'He Is Risen', something warm and beautiful to put into your child's heart.

The top tip here is to paint and decorate the card letters before you cut them out, it will be much easier and less messy!

When all your letter are cut out, use a needle and thread to make a chain, threading in the front on one side of the letter, round the back and then through to the front again, as per the diagram.

This is a lovely, fun decorative craft your kids will really enjoy. Easy, simple and cheap of course! Obviously the longer or shorter time you wish the activity to take, the more or less elaborate you can make the decoration.

Post some examples of your work, we'd love to see!
