This past weekend, I have put a few finishing touches
 
 on my Easter decor, to include a fun and easy DIY
 
EASTER GARLAND. 
 
I am slowly trying to get things started on
 
my Spring decorating and Easter Sunday dinner.
 
Some of projects I have planned will most likely not
 
get completed, but I knew there was one which I just
 
had to make.

I have to give full credit to 
 
Modern Parents Messy Kids for her great project idea.
 
It inspired me to make my own and of course,
 
add an “everyday home” touch, as well.

I switched mine up by mixing the colors.

I purchased a clearance package of stick-on lettering
 
 for $1.99 at Michael’s.  I already had the ribbon in
 
my stash.
 
 I simply printed out the perfect-sized egg, chick
 
and bunny shapes, then traced the shapes onto
 
 
the paint chips.

My Grandloves love it!
 
I love how it adds a fun touch of Easter to the
 
Breakfast Room Hutch.

Some grocery store tulips were planted in a white
 
pitcher, and I added just a few sprigs of silk
 
daffodils, too.

I’ll transplant tulip bulbs to the garden after Easter.

The tulip-filled pitcher was nestled in a wicker basket,
 
along with some of my blue and white plates,
 
and a few extra yellow Bordallo plates
 
with cute bunnies.

On the other side of the basket, I added another black and 
white Toile plate with a lamb, and another
Bordallo Bunny plate.

A dear friend of mine sent me this precious
 
bird’s nest from etsy.  I love it.

I added some pastel speckled eggs to a cloche on
 
a small cake stand.  The pastel colors go with the
 
colors of the garland.

My little, white Target birds have gathered here, as well.

I love that this is a bit out the box for me.
 
 I think having grandbabies in the house makes
 
you look at design with a more whimsical eye.

Cole’s school is having an Easter Egg Hunt this Thursday,
 
and the teacher asked that we help decorate their
 
baskets.  I have a few ideas in mind, but while I was
 
cutting out paint chips for the garland, I made three
 
extra bunnies the kid’s baskets.

I’m actually going to redo Devin’s so it says “Roo.”

And wouldn’t smaller versions of these make cute
 
placecards for each tablesetting?
 
I am going to use the egg shapes on my dessert
 
and beverage buffets to mark the different dishes.
 
How would you use these paint chip shapes?
 
I’d love to hear your ideas.  🙂

    Your hutch looks beautiful and Springy Barb. My 16 year-old daughter just had heart surgery last Friday so I know what you’re going through. It’s very scary when you hear something like that about your child. Stay positive! I will pray for healing for your son.

    Okay, I just love, love this project. And your sponsor Home Depot was very generous …

    And your comment on my comment over at Kari’s Thistle blog cracked me up! And Kari will be calling me tomorrow to yell at me for taking over her comments thread …

    Though, Kari doesn’t yell. It’ll sound sweet as pie with her Southern accent …

    Hi Barb…

    My friend, your spring hutch is simply gorgeous!!! Ohhhh…I just adore your “Easter” banner made out of paint chips! That is the cutest idea ever! I’m going to give this a try. I love that you added bunnies and chicks to the banner as well! Too cute! Everything is perfect, dear friend…from the lovely dishes that you displayed in the basket…right down to the gorgeous spring bouquet! Thank you for sharing your pretty spring hutch with us!

    I’m so sorry to hear that your son is having health problems. Sending prayers his way! God is so good and faithful to us…and I believe in the power of prayer!!!

    Sending the warmest wishes to you and your family for a blessed Easter, Barb!

    Love your garland! I did one this year using cookie cutters for my stencils; cross, egg, flower, rabbit. Also did one and made carrots out of triangles. Now making one for the 4th of July; red, white and blue triangle pennants. Hanging them over my hutch, fireplace and entry mirror. So much fun. My granddaughter helps me string them.
