Pom-Pom Stamped Bunny Tags : a Fun Last Minute Easter DIY

Now, I know this is a wedding blog - but I had so much fun working on this DIY project with my daughter this week that I wanted to share with you before the day ends. This idea can of course easily be swamped out with other imagery for any type of event - maybe an engagement ring with a rhinestone added for the diamond?

I decided to go the framed route for my bunny {for our Easter place settings} - but these can easily be made into tented place cards, gift tags, cards - the ideas are endless. Simply cut out the bunny template your selected and you're left with an empty bunny - this becomes your stencil. Select the patterned paper of your choice and trim it to fit in your frame or whichever size tag you wish to make. For my frames, I cut off the outer plastic layer so the bunny could have a puffy cottontail. Simply stamp away on top of the cut-out bunny, covering the entire area in white. Slowly lift off the stencil {the darker the paper, the better the bunny will look}. Then I added in a pink nose, a little pink in the one ear and a black eye. I added a xyron glue dot where the tail would be and attached a pom-pom to it. The hold is super strong and there's no waiting for glue to dry with these dots. I placed the finished bunny in my frame and it's now the perfect finishing touch to our Easter Sunday dinner table at my parents house. I'm now off to make more . . . hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend. See you back here on Monday.

4 Easy Spring Ideas for Table Decorations : perfect for Easter too

Loving these fun ideas from Better Homes and Gardens for your spring and Easter table décor.

Pastel Flower Bouquet with Eggs in a Vase: Simply place a clear drinking glass or thin vase in the center of a wide jar or larger vase and then stack eggs between the glass and the jar. You don't have to use real eggs either - there are so many choices at the craft stores - from plastic to fabric and even those paper maché ones are perfect for this. The flowers used in this arrangment include roses, gerbera daisies, tulips, hyacinth, and bells of Ireland.

Floral Centerpieces in Take-Out Boxes: This idea is brilliant and looks amazing. Using decorative take-out boxes that you can find at craft stores - simply arrange your flowers inside of them. I would suggest placing a smaller glass vase inside the boxes to be sure it is waterproof.

2-Tiered Easter Egg Centerpiece: Egg-filled nests look beautiful when displayed on a 2-tiered dish for a pretty and easy to make centerpiece.

Painted Easter Egg "Place Card": These hard-boiled eggs will let your guests know where they are sitting when their monogram is hand-painted on them. For a sophisticated look, you can place the egg with a sprig of white flowers on top of a colored napkin that matches your party colors.
