Sorority Easter Eggs

Photo from Etsy shop GreektoMe

Celebrate Easter with personalized Easter eggs with your own Greek letters. I just love this bright basket set created by another talented crafter and offered on Etsy. 
Since plain plastic eggs are available everywhere right now, try your hand at making your own Greek letter eggs. It is so much fun to make your own sorority gifts!

Sorority Mascot Cutouts-Delta Gamma Anchor

Delta Gamma Anchor


I have found the cutouts pictured here in an eBay shop called the Texas Art Craft Store. They have a wide selection of wooden cutouts. Type your mascot in the store search box to locate the cut outs you need.

There are also wooden cutouts available at craft stores like Hobby Lobby and Michaels, however, the selection is limited. The craft stores usually offers turtles, frogs, ladybugs, lions, butterflies, and some of the other mascots. The neat thing about these cutouts is they are prepainted and they are really cute. If you haven't seen them yet, see if you can find them the next time you are in a large craft store like the ones mentioned above.

Use acrylic paints and a quality art paint brush to color the wooden cutouts. Then you can use them for any number of gift ideas!....


Phi Mu Lion or Alpha Delta Pi Lion

Paint a bunch of your wooden mascots to make gift tags that will be treasured and saved. They also make very special Christmas ornaments to represent your sorority. It is easy to glue both ends of a loop of ribbon to the cutout to make a pretty way to hand it up.


Alpha Epsilon Phi Giraffes

Glue your handpainted mascot cutout on the front of a scrapbook to make a custom designed scrapbook. You can also decorate a journal or any notebook to make it represent your sorority.


Delta Delta Delta Dolphins


Chi Omega Owl


Concerning Texas Art Craft Store on eBay:
These are so inexpensive and fun to decorate that you will enjoy thinking of friends to give them to.

Buy them in quantity to save money when you need to make more than one gift. They come in different sizes from small to large so you can choose according to your needs.

Sorority Craft: Gift Baskets for Little or Big


Make your little sister a sorority gift basket and fill it with anything you like to make it more special.

You can use any basket for this idea, but chipped wood baskets work particularly well.
The colorful liner for the basket is made from a scrap of fabric. The tag is made from acid free scrapbooking cardstock.
Be creative with your tag. It can be as simple as your Greek letters applied with a marker, or you can use the idea above.... using your mascot as your design.



Tag Design Ideas:
1. Rubber stamp of mascot or sorority flower colored with pastel pencils
2. Sticker of your mascot, symbol, or flower
3. Cut out your mascot, symbol, or flower from a greeting card that you have saved
4. Draw and paint your own design

It doesn't take long to make your tag, and if you mess up, just start over

Handmade Sorority Gifts-Made 25 Years Ago

Ideas for Sorority Awards and Gifts
The following photos feature historic sorority gifts made 25 years ago for Chi Omega, Delta Zeta, Alpha Delta Pi, Phi Mu, Zeta Tau Alpha and Kappa Delta...hand-painted plaques, brown jugs, & paddle.



These sorority gift items were made in 1983. I only have pictures of the items since all of these sorority items were either special orders or were sold at the Chatter Tree craft & gift shop in Statesboro, Georgia to sorority girls from Georgia Southern College (which is now Georgia Southern University). Perhaps this blog will connect to some of the girls that actually bought or received these items as gifts. That would be so cool!

As far as I know, these were created before Greek Licensing came into being. That was back in the day when artistic ideas flourished for unique, one-of-a-kind sorority gift creations.

Perhaps, just viewing the pictures of these sorority items will inspire some of you to make something similar.

Unique Sorority Ribbon Makes Special Sorority Gifts

Suppose you could find ribbon designed with your sorority colors and letters. If you had some bright colored ribbon with your Greek letters, you could make regular gifts into special sorority gifts by tying on a ribbon bow.

You are in luck because sorority ribbon is available for sale at Greekgear. Make sorority candy jars with a sorority ribbon bow...or tie a sorority bow around a vase and fill it with a bouquet of flowers.

Sorority ribbon comes in 10 yard rolls! great for decorating that special gift, your hair or whatever your imagination can dream up. The Sorority ribbon comes in the sororities colors.

Another idea is making ribbon bracelets.
You can use velcro dots for closure OR you can use jewelry craft clasps or closures for an even nicer bracelets. The sorority ribbon would make your handmade bracelet an instant hit.

Making your own little sister gifts saves money and gives something of yourself as you put time and effort into making something special for your friend.

The following photo shows sorority candy jars with plain ribbon. The ribbon with the sorority design would make your jar especially nice.




Greekgear has the best of sorority gifts. Everything you need for your favorite sorority girl. Shipping is only $5.95 no matter how much you get, so the bigger your order, the more you will save on shipping.
