Spring Easter Party

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
 
My boy's were thrilled when I told them we would be having an Easter party at our with all their friends.
 
I know it's all over but I'm still going to share it with all of you:) Some of it could even be used for summer parties.
 

 The "fence" looking backdrop was a bed frame I rescued from the trash!


The cake stand was thrown together using a CD container, scrap paper, pizza board and Martha Stewart trim paper. 







Cotton candy gum ball "bunny tails"


 
The "veggie garden"
 



 
The "dirt cake"

 

 
I made little treat baskets out of used tuna cans, dyed coffee filters and the handles are from paper bags. 





 
 












 

 
I gave the ferns to the mommy's at the end:) Who doesn't enjoy a pretty plant?
 


I've been a little obsessed with paper flowers lately. I made these out of coffee filters, cupcake wrappers and doilies. 
 
We did a glow in the dark egg hunt once it got dark and the kids had a blast!!

Easter Treats On A Skewer

Anyone else getting ready for Easter? Easter is my kids second favorite holiday after Christmas and we're getting ready for a little party at our house so I thought I would share some cute Easter ideas with you' all:)
 
I don't have step by step pictures for this one but I am going to do my best to walk you through the steps, it's pretty self explanatory.
  
 


I used 12in. bamboo skewers, Easter Reese's cups, green jute rope from Target Dollar Spot and I made the toppers from a tutorial found at Oh Happy Day HERE.   
 


I basically just pushed the Reese's cups up the skewer in alternating colors not going all the way to the top. Made the toppers from white pom poms that I picked up at Target Dollar Spot and this tutorial HERE.
 
 
Once everything was in place on the skewer I tied green jute rope from Target Dollar Spot at the bottom to help hold it all in place.
 
I placed foam in the bottom of the can and poked my skewers in place. I finished the can off with some paper grass, felt rick rack from last years 50% off deals and the basket cut out from a friends Cricut.
 

 
 
This was a super easy DIY and now everyone in the house has to reframe from eating the Reese's cups...hehe!

Burlap Bunny Embroidery Hoop

Anyone else obsessed with embroidery hoops? So simple to use and I think very versatile. They have a very vintage feel to them but yet updated with the right art inside of them.
 
 


The Easter banner is from Kirkland's and the pom pom garland I made with jute twin and pom poms from Target Dollar Spot as well. 


 
I found a template of a bunny silhouette that I liked, printed it and cut it out.
I traced the silhouette with chalk and didn't worry about being exact with the tracing. Its difficult to be exact with burlap. 



I used a 10 in. embroidery hoop to hang it. It was a little bit of a challenge to get it to fit! I had to close the top part slightly and stretch/squeeze the outer part to get it to go on and close it as tight as possible. 

 
I painted the bunny in with white paint, let it dry and put a bow on him.
 

 
I used pink jute twine that I picked up at Target Dollar Spot for the little bow on the neck.
Loving the Dollar Spot at Target this year!!
 
 
 
 


Come back next week for the tutorial on how to make that tissue paper tassel hanging above him:)
