My Easter Decorations

There was a time I didn't decorate for Easter...

What was I thinking?

A time to display Bunny Stuff all over the house!

 

I decorate my Easter tree with real eggs that I

have blown the yolks out through a small

hole that I poke at the top and bottom.  

The ribbons hide the small hole.  This is

a German custom I grew up with.

 

 

I then also made these bunny ornaments. 

I created a paper pulp with old paper

that I mixed in the blender.  You can find

different recipes on Pinterest

 

 

I then poured the pulp  it into metal

chocolate molds that I collect.

I painted and decorate the tails

with fluffy feathers to add some flair.

 

 

 

 

This lovely bunny was a find in

a small out of the way gift shop

my husband got me on a weekend getaway.

 

 

I love the little basket he carries on

his back. 

 

 

A little spring display on the coffee table.

The bunnies a gift from

my step son Cameron. 

 

I love cloches!  I put one of the

nests under it.  The big eggs

I made out of Paper Mache.

 

 

This pretty little glass house was a gift

from Cameron too.

 

 

The Easter door wreath I made.

Again these bunnies I made using one side

of a mold similar to the one below.  I used

plaster of paris for these.  They are heavier,

but show more of the mold detail than

the paper mache.  You can also

set wires in the plaster so you are able

to wire them  to a wreath.

 

 

My front door as you walk up.

It's still cold here and snowing

out as I type.  I made

a the little purple wreath to

put around my bunny statue

by the door.

 

Nothing is green or sprouting so cuttings

are still in my dirt filled pots.

I just removed all the berries and pinecones. 

I use evergreen, boxwood

and different greens I trim in my yard. 

 

 

I am looking forward to Spring!

and hope you  have a Great Day!
