Easter Candy Spring Centerpiece
One glance at the popular pins and boards on Pinterest will tell you that Spring is coming! I was feeling artsy/crafty one afternoon so I made a trip to the dollar store and spent about 30 minutes during Charlie’s nap making this fun little centerpiece to help welcome Spring.
I purchased a yellow ombre ceramic pot, a packet of pastel tissue paper, foil wrapped chocolate eggs, bamboo skewers and paper “grass” to fill the pot. Oh, and those cute little “grass” bunnies just because :) Total cost: $5
I used shears to cut the skewers to fit in the pot. I made each one a different length to add interest to the bouquet. Then I pushed the sharp end of the skewer into the chocolate egg (just enough to hold tightly). I cut 4″ squares from matching tissue paper and skewered the center of the squares and wrapped them around the stem, fanning the petals as I went. I had to use a small piece of scotch tape to hold the paper onto the skewer and up against the egg.
One word of warning- if you have a little one in the house, you might want to put this up a little higher than the dining room table. :) I posted this on Facebook a week or so after I made it:
