Easy, Colorful DIY Easter Projects the Whole Family Can Do

— -- With less than one week until Easter Sunday, “Good Morning America” and Yahoo are teamed up to share creative ideas for DIY crafts that involve the entire family.

Yahoo's Katie Brown appeared on “GMA” today as part of Yahoo Your Day, a collaborative series between “GMA” and Yahoo’s experts.

Brown, Yahoo Makers' editor-in-chief, showed viewers how to make specially-designed Easter eggs, rabbit-shaped napkin holders and gloves, and how to decorate a store-bought cake to reflect the holiday theme.

The projects were affordable and used items that could be easily had from a craft or grocery store, or from around the house.
