Bunny Garden

We are getting ready for Easter at our house as I'm sure you are at yours. Before time ran out on me, I wanted to get this post in to show you how to create something you could add to your Easter table. I used these for my son's egg hunt party - what a hit!

How to make a bunny garden:


All the supplies needed: one piece of styrofoam {to be cut in half}, one piece of green tissue paper cut into small squares, 6 fence pieces {4 short, 2 long}, spanish moss grass, and chalkboard garden stakes



To get started I used a large knife to cut the styrofoam in half. As you can see, it isn't completely straight {maybe I should have purchased that styrofoam cutter a year ago...lol), looks like my cutting skills need a little help {giggle}


Using Mod Podge and water I applied layers of tissue paper to all five sides of the styrofoam {I didn't worry about the bottom since it wouldn't be seen}


Completely covered


Using yellow acrylic paint, I painted all of the fence pieces {using a hand saw, I cut the two long fence pieces in half}


Using gorilla glue, I glued the fence pieces to the styrofoam


Using tacky glue, I applied the moss grass to the top of the styrofoam


I found these great chalkboard garden stakes in the dollar section of Michaels. Adding the stakes, the bunny and eggs {reused from last year's Easter decor} you have a great bunny garden

What an awesome addition this would make to any table decor. What I love most - it didn't cost more than about $10 to make two of them and as we all know, I love a bargain!

Happy Easter and....

A Hoppin' Egg Hunt

I have been excited about doing this party for my son for weeks. After several late nights working on this {and I do mean several}, I woke up the morning of the party to the sound of rain hitting my window and all I could think was "why me"? I was sure that all my hard work was for naught because the rain continued to fall throughout the morning and it didn't look like it was going to stop. Thankfully, the weather changed by early afternoon and that meant it was party time. A quick text to our guests to have the children arrive in their rain boots and we were on our way to a fun afternoon.

Happy Easter and welcome to our 'Hoppin Egg Hunt'!


Our beautiful goody table




Delicious cupcake shooters {shooters purchased from PickYourPlum - don't you just love them!?!}








Our photo prop box. Huge "thanks" to my sister for recreating these carrots (here) for me under such short notice - cute, aren't they?


After collecting eggs and playing an egg race game, the kids traded in their collected eggs for a treat bag




Continuing to create memories for the little prince. Hope you enjoy creating memories for your little ones too!
