Happy Easter Vignette

Easy
If you’re looking for a quick and easy Easter decoration, here it is. The hardest part of this one is waiting for the paint to dry. This can be customized easily just by changing the colors used, or the saying of your choice.
This is such an easy centerpiece to make. Most of the items I had on hand, but can be purchased inexpensively.
I used 1" wooden blocks that were base coated with white acrylic paint. (Base coating makes the paint colors go on the same color that's in the bottle with out the wood showing through.)
I chose soft pastel shades to paint the blocks. After the white paint had dried, I painted them with the pastel paints, using 2 coats.
After the paint had dried, I arranged the blocks so the blocks would spell ‘Happy Easter’. I mixed the block colors up so the top wasn’t the same as the bottom.
Then I used 1" high letters that I had left over.
Once the letters were arranged & put on, I glued the blocks together using hot glue. I glued the rows together first, then I glued the top row to the bottom row.
I’d gotten these little foam glittered eggs from the Dollar Tree last year. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any purple, yellow or blue. So, I inserted a wooden round toothpick into the bottom of some of the eggs, painted them with acrylic paint & then added glitter.
Once the glue/glitter was dried, I glued them to the blocks.
I covered a white wooden tray with some light blue satin. Then I put the finished blocks in the center of the tray. A light cream bunny was put behind the blocks, & then I surrounded them with some glitter eggs & some painted blue table scatter.
The Easter Vignette was done. I love the way the little bunny is peering over the blocks.
Although this makes a sweet Easter Centerpiece, I wanted to use it in the corner of my bench. Now it has a home for the rest of the Easter season. Changing the color of paints or stuffed animal will make it a unique Easter decoration for your home.

    So first of all this is the most cutest thing that I have ever seen.

    So did you drill the holes in the blocks and eggs and if not where did you get the blocks and eggs from? Sorry for all the questions.
