Easter Eye Candy

I found some great ideas for Easter in my blog hopping & Easter Googe~ling... These first two pics I found from Marth Stewart

 

I love the bunny garland & the bunny cupcake decor!! So Do~able and super cute!

I've been saving egg shells for a while now, I found this cute pic and another one like it that had cute little flowers planted in them... pretty much anything would look adorable in an egg shell!

This fabulous idea was found at Modern Parents Messy Kids
 seriously? Why didn't I think of this?!

and I'm sooo making these cute carrot cookies, so cute and totally tasty!

our dish

so now that we have some great ideas, we're ready for Easter!!

I went and bought some

brown paper for our Easter dying Egg Night...
and some green grass at good ol' all a dollar...

I usually cover the table in newspaper,

but hello why not spend two bucks and get a couple rolls of the brown {wrapping} paper .. looks so cute and is way easier than pieces together old newspaper...

I thought it would be a good idea to cover the table in the brow paper and throw some Easter grass down the middle, when the kids are done dying eggs they can set them in the grass to dry! And when your all done it's like a little Easter Egg Hunt trying to find them all!

We also did some experimenting with egg dying a while ago...

I like the paper towel & toilet paper rolls cut into pieces to set the eggs on to dry too!

we tried several different things with the kids:: blowing the paint on with straws...

we put eggs in a pringles can with a plastic bag and let the kids shake it up... 

{add several other plastic bags to the bottom of the can for padding}

add a few drops of color and shake~a~ roo...

and in a ziplock baggie...

the kids liked the different ways to dye the eggs...

and of course one of my most favorite tricks :: the egg in the wisk :: so the kids can't drop it and break it... brilliant!!

anyhoo! Just some ideas to get ready for the holiday!! 

Easter Stuff

So a couple things for Easter coming up... two fun ways to decorate eggs that I ENOY! This first one is Karo corn Syrup and Sprinkles!!! You just dab on the syrup however you want and sprinkle away, they turn out so cute!

The next, which is for more of decorative purposes... then easter egg hunts and children... I saw this on Studio 5 (local TV show) the other day, nothen "new" but still so cute, just use scrapbook supplies you have lying around the house, use punch outs and cute paper and just glue dot them on... always cute!!

and ONE thing that I always do for drying purposes... I keep all my toilet paper rolls a few weeks or months before Easter and then cut them up... they are a perfect place to keep the eggs while they dry... I don't like sticking them back in the egg carton... so this works perfect!!!
I squish the roll, flat and cut ... you can use straight edge scissors or scalloped/decorative scissors...
You could even go all out and decorate these cute too, but for the most part ours serve their purpose and then go straight in the garbage... if your going to decorate them cute for display purposes don't use them when actually drying cause they get wet.... use plain ones for dying and drying and when you have a cute finished egg, stick it in the "new" decorated one... I LOVE dying eggs... have fun doing your own!!!
