Get Creative this Easter: DIY Supplies at Canal Walk Stores

Easter is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with some creative DIY projects that will add a personal touch to your holiday festivities? Whether planning an Easter egg hunt, decorating your home, or creating unique gifts for family and friends, Canal Walk Shopping Centre offers everything you need to get started. With the widest variety of arts and crafts, home décor, and toy shops, you can easily find the perfect supplies to make this Easter special.

Here are some fun, budget-friendly DIY Easter ideas with supplies from your favourite Canal Walk stores.

Easter eggs are a holiday staple, and decorating them is a tradition for many families. This year, why not take your egg-decorating skills to the next level? Head to PNA, one of Canal Walk’s top arts and crafts shops in Cape Town, for a wide selection of paints, glitter, stickers, and stencils. Whether you prefer traditional painted eggs or want to try something more modern, like decoupage or even using natural dyes, PNA has everything you need.

Tip: Use pastel colours or metallic finishes to make your eggs stand out as centrepieces at your Easter dinner. For an elegant touch, add a little ribbon or twine to the eggs.

Easter baskets are a must-have for any Easter celebration, and creating your own can be a fun activity for the whole family. Visit The Crazy Store for affordable baskets, ribbons, and other decorations to make your basket extra memorable. You can customise the basket by adding little goodies, such as chocolates, toys, and Easter-themed trinkets. It’s the perfect way to show that extra thought went into your gift.

Tip: Get creative with your filler. Use shredded paper or fabric scraps to make your basket look unique.  For an extra thoughtful gesture, add personalised name tags.

Transform your home into an Easter wonderland with simple yet beautiful décor pieces. Visit Typo for fun, quirky decorations that will add a touch of charm to your home. From bunny-shaped throw pillows to pastel-coloured signs, Typo offers a variety of items that will make your space feel festive. You can even craft custom décor with supplies from PNA. Try creating a personalised wreath using artificial flowers and Easter-themed embellishments.

Tip: A table centrepiece of painted eggs, fresh flowers, or even Easter-themed candles can tie your home décor together.

Everyone loves wearing bunny ears on Easter, and helping the kids make themed headbands is a fun DIY project. Head to Game, a popular department store in Cape Town, where you will find all the basic supplies you need to create your bunny ears, such as headbands, felt, and fabric glue. This is an excellent crafting opportunity for kids and a fun family activity. Adding sequins, buttons, or ribbons can also add some extra sparkle.

Tip: Use a simple headband as your base, and then cut out bunny ear shapes from felt. Attach them with fabric glue and let them dry. Add bunny whiskers or a nose with face paint, and hop into your Easter celebrations.

Sending handmade Easter cards is a meaningful way to show someone you’re thinking of them. With supplies from PNA, you can make greeting cards that add a personal touch to your messages. The shop offers a wide range of papers, stamps, stickers, and more, which you can use to create beautiful cards for friends and family.

Tip: For a fun twist, incorporate Easter-themed images like flowers, eggs, and bunnies. Add textures like ribbons or fabric to give your cards a tactile element.

If you have little ones at home, Easter is the perfect time to get them involved in creative play. Head to The Crazy Store for a range of toys and craft kits for kids. You can find Easter-themed toys, such as bunny-shaped cookie cutters or egg-painting kits, entertaining them for hours. Plus, you can let your children decorate their own Easter baskets with some arts and crafts supplies.

Tip: Create an Easter egg hunt using small toys or chocolate treats hidden inside plastic eggs. You can find these at any toy shop in Cape Town, including Game. This is a great way to keep children engaged during the holiday.

Add some festive flair to your walls with Easter-themed DIY artwork. Pick up a blank canvas and some paint from PNA, and let your imagination run wild. You can create a simple design like a bunny silhouette or a colourful egg pattern. If you're not confident in your painting skills, consider printing templates and tracing them onto the canvas for a more polished look.

Tip: To bring your Easter spirit to life and add pizazz, frame your artwork with colourful or pastel frames from Typo.
