Easter Treats For Your Table

Homemade Easter Decorations

As the crocus and tulips push their way up through the ground, we are reminded of the resurrection that Easter represents. Spring, in itself, is a time to celebrate, especially if you live in one of the colder climes. If you are hosting Easter dinner this year, try these simple homemade Easter decorations to help revive spirits after a long winter.

 

These glass eggcups work well as tea light candleholders. Use them as an understated table decoration or line them up along a mantle or shelf. 3-D tea light candles come in packages of three but plain white votives would work, as well and they come in packages of 16.

 

Bright paper napkins help you to set a springtime mood at the table. You can generally find well-made napkins in packages of 15. We lucked out and came away with 50 2-ply Easter napkins.

The napkin rings are simplicity itself. Use any pastel colored craft ribbon, cut in lengths of about 6 ½-inches. Ribbon that is about 1-inch wide seems to work well. Hot glue the ribbon in a circle and then glue on a coordinating spring accent like these daisies. You could use butterflies, ladybugs, anything spring-like. A 6.7-foot roll of craft ribbon makes about ten napkin rings.

 

 

These little guys could chase away anyone’s winter blahs. They came in a package of five. Fill these plastic eggs with foil-wrapped goodies and put one at each place setting as a take home treat. If you want, give your egg-shaped ambassadors a toothpick banner wishing your guests a Happy Easter.

If you prefer, use the banner to put the name of each guest on to use as place cards. To make the Easter banner, simply print your greeting as though you were printing address labels but print on a plain sheet of paper. Cut a notch out of the end of each banner, glue it to a toothpick and fasten it to the egg/chick. A small amount of stick-tack works well to hold the toothpick to the plastic egg without being too noticeable.

Homemade Easter decorations such as these are always enjoyed by visiting family members.
