Large Plastic Easter Eggs Can Be Reused

Your large plastic Easter egg shouldn’t fall by the wayside once the Easter celebrations are over – far from it. There are many many different uses you can find around the home for these very handy containers.

Household Uses

You can use your large plastic easter eggs as a multi-purpose container. What can you fill them with? Well if your eggs are air tight you can fill them with paints to use as an arts and crafts project with your kids.

Don’t forget about some home office stuff that you can store in your plastic easter eggs like thumb tacks or staples. Ever lost a screw when building some flat-pack furniture? How annoying is that! Well know you can store all the nuts and bolts you need for a job inside a large plastic easter egg and store it in your pocket. Storing paper clips, pins, and clips that always seem to get lost in the junk drawer is a great tip to get that home office looking organized. This way you will know exactly where all your stationary is as you can label them also.

This one’s my favourite. You can pierce some holes in the top of one of your large plastic easter eggs with a BBQ skewer and fill it up with all your different herbs and spices to make a great potpourri dish. Get your little ones to decorate them and they will make great gifts for your grandparents or inlaws.
