GETTING CRAFTY FOR EASTER

Easter is four days away.  Here's a simple . . . and I mean simple idea for your Easter table.

I was inspired by an Easter picture (see below) I saw on Martha Stewart's website.

While the picture described the egg decoration, I was drawn to the what was holding the egg.  Since I don't own any egg cup holders and wasn't going to buy any; I knew immediately I wanted to create a similar look to hold my decorative eggs.

I found gold colored, mini cupcake holders and used them to create my look.  You basically glue either ends of the cupcake holder in place (back to back).  Let it dry for a couple of minutes and voila . . . you have an egg cup holder!

EASTER EGG DECORATING

With Easter right around the corner, I'll be sharing some great ideas for all things Easter.  I love surfing the web, getting ideas and inspiring me to create some of my own looks. 

Today, we're talking egg decorating for Easter.  While I probably won't have time to decorate eggs this year (as I'll be baking Easter cookies); I wanted to share some incredible looks you can create yourself with your kids or anyone!
