Easter Decorations Part 1

Hosting an Easter party at home?

No decorations and low on budget....no worries.

Here is a beautiful ornament for your to use on your food table, you can use it as place card holder. There are limitless uses for this decoration! The best part of this Easter decoration is that.........All of the materials cost one dollar or less, I found most of the supplies at the dollar store and wal-mart, but you can go to your favorite local craft store. These materials are not that expensive but they create a beautiful decoration, that why this is a beautiful craft with little cash!

1) For this project you will need:

• mini shimmer pom-poms.
• white foam cone.( you decide the size of the cone,dollar store has  one size only 7 inch approx.)
• mini colorful foam Easter eggs
• hot glue gun / glue sticks.
• white and pink card stock paper or hard felt sheets for the bunny ears.
• Wired ribbon 2.5 inch thick for the bow.
  

The amount of Easter eggs will depend in the size of the foam cone, for the dollar store cone, I used 2 (dollar store bags) each bag brings 12 mini eggs.

The foam eggs have a ribbon attached, I carefully took it off by hand; By pulling the ribbon out by hand,  it will come off very easily .You can find the mini pom-poms  at the crafts section at wal-mart only for a dollar.

First step is glue each egg carefully with some hot glue to the cone, start from the bottom and work you way up. Don't worry if you start to see some of the white of the cone, you will be filling those holes later with the color pom-poms.

If you start to have a hard time making the eggs stick, just press apply pressure with both your hands, make sure you put enough of hot glue and let it dry while your hands are applying pressure, it takes a few seconds for the glue to dry.

When your done gluing the 24 foam eggs, start with the pom-poms filling all the holes around the cone, I used around 40 mini pom-poms in total all around the cone.

At the very top I glued an egg on top of the cone so that it doesn't loose it cone shape.

Using white and pink card stock I cut out a pair of bunny ears, glued them together in the back and added a bow made with wired Easter themed ribbon.

By adding a pretty name tag these can work as place cards for your Easter brunch and as party favors. Or if you decide to decorate your table with more than one of these bunny center pieces you can put little messages with Bible verses to celebrate this special holiday. There are so many ways in which you can use this Easter Decoration which  only cost less than $10.00 to make, another crafts with little ca$h.
