Easter Series: Make a Table Center Peice

I'm terrible with table center pieces, I always forget them for any type of occasion. I always dream of having amazing bunches of gorgeous flowers in the middle of my table but well it never really ends up happening. 

 So this Easter I thought I would make a simple center piece that I could make with things I already have. At the moment I have a circular mobile hanging over the table so I thought a circular center piece made sense.I already had this pink metal container from Ikea so I began with that.

 I cut some bunnies from gold glitter paper and hot glued some sticks to them. Cut a circle from cardboard and then used that to cut some fake grass. I stuffed the container with some newspaper and then layered the cardboard then the grass on top then skewered the bunnies through the grass and used some hot glue to hold the bunnies in place.

 I then added some wool bows to the bunnies and some ribbon and wool to the outside of the container. Lastly I just had to add these cute polka dot gold caramel eggs! Though I won't be able to leave them in there my boys will eat them!

 I really like the idea of having a low center piece so that people can talk over it and still see each other. This was another quick make that really didn't take long and add a little extra to my Easter table!

Easter Series: Make a Door Bunny

Instead of an Easter wreath for my front door I thought it would be cute to hang a bunny on my door.

 Somehow I only managed to get a few photos from the beginning stages of making the bunny but I think you could make a similar one from the pictures

 To make my bunny I used:

a large cardboard box

a texta to draw

a craft knife

hot glue gun

paint

felt 

and a handmade paper flower

 I cut extra pieces of cardboard for the ears, eyes, nose. I've used felt on the nose ears and feet and then used paint to create the eyes and mouth

 I've hot glued the the pieces on to the bunny and hot glued the head onto the body and also hot glued some string on the back so that I could tie the bunny onto the door.

 It came together pretty quickly, I think there is still plenty of time to make one for your door. You could decorate the bunny how ever you like, it would be cute with a bow or even make a boy bunny and put a bow tie on him.

I think I might make some eater bunting to go under the bunny to add a little more cuteness to my door!

Easter Series: Make a Bunny Jar

This is a fun and cute idea that I found over on Pinterest that I just had to try myself.

You can find the idea on Pinterest here.

 Here is what you will need to make a Bunny Jar:

*Some little animals to go on top, some rabbits, chickens, ducks and lambs would be cute.

*Some clean dry jars.

*Some tissue paper or paper straw.

*Things to decorate your jar with like Washi tape or ribbon.

*Easter eggs to fill your jar with.

*Hot Glue

 Here is how you can make one yourself:

*Find a clean jar, for this one I have used a plain gold lid. I make a few more that had lids with writing on them so I painted them, you could also spray paint them, cover them in paper, cover them in fabric or even washi tape.

*Hot glue your little animal on to the top of the lid.

*Add tissue papper or paper straw to the bottom of the jar.

*Decorate the jar I have used some gold washi tape on this one and a gold paper ribbon.

*Pop some Easter eggs inside the jar I have used eggs with similar colors to give a cohesive look.

*Put the lid on the jar and you are done!

Its such a fun cute way to give an Easter gift this year.

Happy Making!
