these easy steps & you’ll have them done in no time!
Easter Floral Arrangement
What you need:
·
A wire basket
·
Speckled Easter eggs
·
Baby’s breath
1) Use
some speckled Easter eggs, preferably in muted colors. If you do not manage to
find any that are already prefabricated, purchase some wooden or foam eggs.
Then paint them in muted colors of your choice. As a final touch, use a
toothbrush to speckle brown spots. Make
sure to make extra eggs for the following craft!
2) Start
by adding a few eggs in the wire basket. Don’t be afraid to mix the colors for
best results! Also, include yellow, as you cannot have a happy event without
the color that best represents the emotion! Next, add a glass vase in the
center of the wire basket. Then arrange the eggs around the vase according to
your liking. Once the wire basket is filled and the vase is surrounded, add
water to the vase.
3) Finally,
add some flowers to your arrangement. Most people would consider baby’s breath
a “filler” for floral arrangements, however its simplicity will not take away
from the beauty of the colorful eggs in the basket. On the plus side, they are
also extremely inexpensive, so your arrangement will turn out to be a bargain!
This arrangement has a rustic
feel to it and would be showcased beautifully on a rustic dining table. It’s simple
yet charming look will complement the natural and organic elements of the wood.
Nestled Easter Eggs
What you need:
·
A cake pedestal
·
Straw
·
Speckled Easter eggs in muted colors
1)
Begin by taking some straw and shaping into a
circle. If the straw is being fussy, try to wet it a little to help shape it
and stick it together. If it still does not stick together at the ends, a
little dab of glue from a glue gun will do just fine.
2) Place
the straw that is now shaped into a nest onto the cake pedestal. Then, take
some of the leftover eggs from the previous craft and nestle them into their
cozy little nest. This centerpiece would look lovely with a Shabby Chic or
Vintage Casual style, as it screams effortless elegance.
There you have it! A table with dainty and egg-citing décor.
It’s quite egg-traordinary!
