Easter green moss grass bunny flower décor craft

Easter Egg Spoons Easy Craft You Can Do With Kids Craft

By Joan, 3/27/2023

I thought the faux moss grass bunny was so cute that I couldn’t resist taking him home and adding some embellishments.

This year’s new Easter green moss grass bunny decor from amazon seems

to be adorable green grass-style bunnies. They are reminiscent of bushes that are pruned into the shape of animals. The Easter green moss bunnies are either sitting up on their hind legs or sitting with their legs down. I have a lot of Easter decor, but these bunnies were hard to resist. Although, I did limit myself to the one that is crouched down. I thought it was the easier one to spruce up just a bit. I wanted to add a new Easter grass rabbit to my collection since finding out that these animals symbolize hope.

Hot glued several flowers to the bunny and selected various pastel-colored flowers to bring a feeling of spring to the rabbit. The flowers also add a sense of cheer. This a simple and easy idea that only takes a few minutes but makes the bunny stand out. You can add another decor near your flower easter bunny when decorating. Fake carrots are plentiful lately.

Stunning Wall Decor From LED Lighted Vine Light

Watch the video to see how I decorated a LED lighted willow vine light to create stunning vine lights from amazon spring wall decor. The LED lighted willow vine is a current fashion trend for home decor. I had a rather large empty wall space to fill. I ordered the decor LED willow vine light, which was plain for my taste, so I added flowers. This is a piece that you will keep and enjoy for several years to come; therefore, it will cost more than other ideas I have shown. Still, it will be less pricey than a painting or many wall art pieces.

This display also took a few hours to create, but the result was very satisfying despite the extra time and expense. Found the vine to be exquisite. I admire it often and know I will enjoy seeing it for some years to come.

Brother/Sister Make Easy Birthday Party Treats Snack Food kids Treats for a Party Or Friends

See what yummy and decorative treats my grandchildren have put together for the spring.

Though these treats are decorative and can be displayed, don’t expect them to last long as decor. They are too tempting not to eat. After putting the

edibles together, my grandchildren went out front, where three boys were shooting baskets, and a girl was roller skating. Now we have taste testers. Everyone got a treat. They were quickly eaten so that this goody could be given a five-star rating. Most likely, the neighbor children placed importance on their stomachs rather than home decor. No surprise. It just as well that there weren’t any left to tempt me.

These tasty treats are easy to put together. You can decorate a container to put them in or leave it plain. These goodies would be a welcome addition to any gathering or special occasion, but try to save a few to enjoy yourself. These will put a smile on any face. Eat up!

Gum Drop Cookie Flower

This easy creation makes a beautiful edible floral display for spring and Easter.

Colorful gum drops, cookies with a center hole, wooden skewers, and a

container are all you need to put together this project. You may wish to stick the skewers in floral foam, especially if you aren’t using a see-through container like a terra cotta pot. If you are using a washed glass container, you could use green M&M’,s which would represent grass. A terra-cotta pot could be left plain or painted if you wish. The colors are your choice. I would suggest not putting any unwrapped candy in an unwashed container.

Take care not to stick yourself with the pointed end of the skewers. This colorful bouquet is easy to assemble and so lovely to display. Wrap in cellophane and topped with a bow can be given as a coveted gift for any special occasion or as a thank-you gift. It is a present that is sure to be appreciated. Fun to create, lovely to display, and delicious to eat.

Be sure and make one for yourself. The supplies are simple. I need larger popsicle sticks, different colored felt or wooden cutout eggs, and a colored pipe cleaner. You can use items on hand to decorate the popsicle sticks. Just jump in and make this craft.

Jelly Bean Gum Drop on Skewers

Get ready for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and spring with these easy-to-create treats that double as a colorful floral bouquet.

Grab a jar, some green M&M’s, assorted colors of jelly beans, and wooden skewers. Though our creation with the color selection leans toward St. Patrick’s Day, you can use different colors of jelly beans so that your bouquet is more for Easter or spring. Make the design your own, depending on your tastes. Ours mimics the colors of the Irish flag, which we created with popsicle sticks in a previous video. The green M&M’s represent grass, so you may choose to keep that aspect.

After displaying the lovely food bouquet, you may be tempted to eat the edible arrangement. That is acceptable. Munch and enjoy as you celebrate the seasons and spring holidays. You could do a count down to St. Patrick’s Day or Easter by tasting one skewer each day. I could use it as a Christmas version of the Advent calendar, possibly counting down 10 or 12 days instead of 24.
