Burlap Bunny Easter Cards

Ok so we say hessian they say burlap, potayto potahto. Burlap Bunnies just had a nicer ring to it! ​

Roughly cut a piece just smaller than your card. The rougher the better, no worries of straight edges with this material as it frays beautifully.​

I used patterned sticky tape to secure the corners, which was quick and pretty.​

Take a cookie cutter (unless you are a super artist) and dip it in a plate of white paint.​ Mark your bunny shape and fill in with white paint. I used a sponge type brush which was quicker on the hessian material. Plus Sammy enjoyed stamping the paint in.

Wait for your paint to dry and then glue a white pom pom tail to your bunny! An easy activity your little ones can join in on.​

Do you send Easter cards? Have you made your own? I'd love to see them!​

Easter Living Display

​I love using a bell jar instead of a vase to make a beautiful display. 

I adore the idea of using egg shells as plant holders but do not have the patience or delicate hands to make them from real eggs. Thank goodness for pretty plastic ones!

Select your flowers or plants. I chose Bellis daisies and Muscari as they are easy to pot in a small container and I love the deep blue colour against a pink Tulip.

Take a pen knife and slice the end off your eggs. Fill with earth and place in the display. ​You could wrap the ends of your cut flowers in damp kitchen roll to keep them fresh. Water your display regularly and repot your bulbs once they outgrow the eggs.

I found it easier to use a little round basket, rather than letting the earth spill out everywhere, which will help keep the water contained when watering.​

So simple but so beautiful. ​

We are having our egg hunt tomorrow with big boy’s best little girlfriend so in preparation for all the goodies (rain permitting) they are going to find in the garden we made these little felt bags! So easy to do and for little ones to join in!
