Don't Be Jelly - Fun Jelly Bean Easter Gift Ideas

Looking for a fun Easter idea or a lovely spring hostess gift?  Here are a few creative ideas for what you can do with the JELLY BEAN PRINTABLES I shared last Easter!

Canning Jar gifts are all the rage these days.  This gift idea is also super easy and simple.  I found these pre-filled plastic eggs at my local dollar store.  I placed a bit of paper shred into a glass canning jar and added a jelly bean filled egg into each jar.  Tied a bow on them and attached a funny sayings label with a pop-up dot and INSTANT gift!

Make your own easy Easter candy! You can use this recipe to make Jelly Bean Bark and place the bark in an acrylic truffle box with a bit of paper shred.  Tie off with a ribbon and attach a fun label - makes a quick and fun gift!

Remember a jelly bean theme is also great for a baby shower or 1st bday!  You can GET THE JELLY BEAN PRINTABLES HERE

Have a wonderful Easter holiday!

I'm over at MG Party Impressions today sharing this fun Easter Egg Hunt in the park!

 

{Party Inspiration} Fun Kid's Easter Table

This year we are having all the kids in the family (about 6 total) come over for an Egg Hunt!  I thought it would be really fun to set up a table where they can snack on sweets and also color and decorate some of their own eggs.  I figured I would save time and money and create a mock up of the table to share with you and hopefully pass along some budget friendly ideas and inspiration for you to create a festive space for your own little cottontails!

I loved the colors of the plastic eggs that I found at Target and Dollar Tree so I wanted to use a lot of color for the table.  I started with a simple tablescape with a springtime vinyl table cloth that I already had on hand.  Vinyl is perfect for wiping up spills and messes especially when egg decorating. Mixing and matching different plates and napkins, I created colorul place settings for the kids to eat their snacks on.  I used purple plastic plates for chargers and our own spring green ceramic plates, then folded colorful napkins diagonally and placed a plastic fork on top.  The napkins were a steal at Ikea for .88 cents a pack.  I sprinkled the table with some of the party tags I designed for Easter, as well.

For the centerpiece, I crafted an Easter egg tree out of foam moss and styrofoam Easter Eggs.  The trunk of the tree is a paper straw and the base is a bucket I already had in my party inventory and used a styrfoam form to anchor it.  This was a simple project and cost less than $7 to make!

Ever since I saw these Cupcake Poppers here - I've been dying to make them.  Keep in mind, all of this work was done in the wee hours of the morning, so it's not my best, but WHO CARES - the kids are gonna eat 'em up regardless!

The kids will hunt for plastic eggs outside, but indoors, they will have fun decorating edible eggs.  For this table, I filled small bowl with grass filler and hard boiled eggs, then set out dye and crayons and markers. 

I love popcorn baskets for parties - they're my new thing.  I made these with the pattern paper I designed for my Easter Egg Hunt collection and added a paper medallion to the side - it reminded me of a daisy!  To make the box into a basket I added the handle and filled it with grass and chocolate eggs.



Here is a few view of the table.  I hope you were inspired to create something fun & festive for your Easter table!

Oh and if you want to have your own Easter Egg Hunt - here are some free printables for you - HAPPY EASTER!

Easter Cupcake Printables and Giveaway Winner

The Winner of the Easter Egg Decorating Party Pack is....

Congratulations Alicia!!!!

Over the weekend I took the kids to an Easter Egg hunt hosted by a friend and offered to make my delicious cupcakes for the guests. 

I found these a few weeks ago, nothing fancy, I just liked the colors but decided these colors would be what I'd use for inspiration to tint the frosting for the cupcakes.

I made my Triple Vanilla Cupcakes and piped on some tinted swirly frosting....mmmmmmm

I was also busy this weekend designing Easter graphics and making these toppers - (Esty shop coming soon - I SWEAR)

My friend had this beautiful tiered stand and we displayed some of the cupcakes on it.  You may have seen it here before.   

Since I'll be busy for the rest of the week and engrossed in 'Princesspalooza', I'll do a freebie today.  Here is a download of the cupcake toppers I made.  They should cut perfectly using a 1.5" circle punch or you can cut them out by hand.  Affix them to a toothpick or cocktail pick with scotch tape.  You can also use them for favor tags.  If you use them I would love to see some pictures so send them along.

Check back next week to get the final details on 'Princesspalooza'!
