Last-Minute Easter Centerpiece

Plain plastic eggs: $2 for 2 pkgs, didn't use them all
Easter grass: $1
Big plastic bowl: $2.50
(all at Target)

Put the eggs in the bowl.

They were a little too boring.

Add ribbon.

What else is there to explain except "I used a hot glue gun"?
Here's a bonus: if you wait a few more days, you could get all this stuff on clearance and do this cheap project for even cheaper than I did!

I pretty much love the one with the flower.


This, btw, is one of the chairs I found for $6 last October. Jason's next project is to sand and stain them and the bench. I'm loving the green cushions I just got at Ikea--and they fit PERFECTLY! Maybe the chairs came from Ikea to begin with?

LOVE IT! Very clever. I am always trying to think up something cute for Easter and alway fall short. Maybe I have to copy you? Keep up the good craftin':)

So cute! I will try your trick. I actually have a bunch of extra easter eggs that Chloe will never use from the two previous years. :) And I am LOVING your chair cushions! So cute! I need some read ones for our table. :)
