DIY ideas in this photo…

1. Magnetic silk Flowers attached to table runners,

shop for silk flowers in 3 sizes, small, medium and large (Variety in size and color add interest)

next cut the stem off with wire cutters

plug in your GG (Lisa’s nickname for her Glue Gun), and glue positive magnet to flower back

now attach to your table runner with another magnet

2. Jelly Bean Centerpiece

WOW your family and friends with this EASY DIY Centerpiece! Here is what you will need:

1. Tall glass cylinder

2. Branch, spray painted white

3. Internal poster-board cylinder.

I created it by eyeballing the size I would need! I rolled up a piece of poster board and measured the diameter I would need by placing it inside of the glass (that’s what I call “eyeballing”). I noted the space needed for the jelly beans to fill in around it! Marked the size with a pencil. 4. Plugged in my GG…(hot glue gun). Glued the poster board into a cylinder and stuffed the cylinder with florist foam, added the tree branch and stuffed it with newspaper. 5. Set the paper cylinder inside of the glass. 6. Separated the jelly beans by color… 7. Arranged them by color… 8. Layered them inside… 9. Ta-da!!!!

Happy Easter… xox lisA

An Egg-stra Special Easter Table

An Egg-stra Special Easter Table !

Are you planning a luncheon, family dinner or Easter feast? A great looking table will complement your wonderful food!

I love to use and reuse bases from other projects and get double or even triple duty out of my investment. That is why I love working with artificial florals, garlands and greenery. They don’t die and have to be thrown away! I also like to use garlands down the middle of a table to decorate seasonally. This is perfect complement to serving buffet style, a sit down meal or a fun dessert display! Here are the supplies that I started with……(I did make a quick run to #Walmart to pick up new plastic Easter eggs and grass, so many colors and fun patterns)

Turquoise Table cloth (last Spring #Walmart) and Black and White Chevron table runner (birthday gift)

Bright Easter Egg Garland 5′
9′ Garland Sky blue

Close up of greenery twisted around Easter garland to secure.

The 9′ garland in Sky blue (from Rebecca’s Christmas decorations) was the base to attach all the fun Easter too. I started by fluffing and shaping it out and placing it down the middle of the table, allowing it to hang over the ends. The Easter egg garland is a great hand wrapped wired garland, easy to shape out and attach to the blue garland by twisting the greenery over in several places. (no hot glue gun needed). The 5′ Easter garland was centered in the middle of the 9′ blue garland. After a quick trip to Walmart for new plastic Easter eggs and grass After securing the two garlands together it was time to add a focal point, Rebecca’s Easter bunny and a yellow basket. I used the garland greenery and Easter garland to wire on the bunny and basket.

Fluffy Easter bunny and yellow basket

Bunny and basket secure

Now it’s time to fill the basket with an assortment of plastic Easter eggs, different sizes, colors and patterns. I also tucked in a few eggs to the garland.

The Easter basket is ready to be filled. use and assortment of, colors, sizes and patterns.

Green Easter grass is an inexpensive addition to the garland and I chose orange for the basket.

Green Easter grass tucked into the garland.

The Finishing touch is Ribbon! I chose Pink Glittered Coral ribbon, available at ShowMeDecorating.com

Next ingredient, ribbon! I used 4 yds

Fold ribbon in half and cut on an angle

The angle cut creates a fish tale edge

Create a single loop bow and wrap wire to hold.

1 yd creates this single loop bow

2 yds makes a 2 loop bow, secure with floral wire.

2 Single loop bows and 1- 2 loop bow, 4 yds total

Attach a single loop bow on each end of the garland and the 2 loop bow by the Bunny and basket!

The 2 loop bow adds the finishing touch to the Eggtra Special Easter Table

A collection of Bunny Author Court (given to all the Grand daughters by the original Miss Cayce’s) is ready for an Easter party!

Dinner anyone?

A quick change out to bright #Fiesta plates as chargers & paper Easter plates and napkins we are ready for a fun lunch with family or friends. While shopping at Sams I spotted these fun Easter bucket treats ready to personalize and send home with guests!

These Easter Treat buckets were a great value at Sam’s

Mixing everyday dinnerware (Fiesta) and seasonal paper goods makes for a fun place setting

This bright and cheery table scape celebrates Easter, the Season of Hope!

The fun Chevron chairs were snagged at a Home Goods Store, http://www.homegoods.com

The Black and white Chevron table runner was my birthday gift from Jennifer, purchased through https://www.groopdealz.com
