By Choosing inexpensive items for your gathering dinner table you will make everyone envious of your decorating skills!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • vinyl or paper table cloth
  • marshmallow peeps and bunnies
  • spring mix M& m's
  • Paper plates
  • Plastic cutlery
  • plastic eggs
  • Easter/spring confetti
  1. Step 1

    Cover your dining table or tables in a paper or vinyl table cloth. By using paper you will find that it is just a cinch just to toss the table cloth after your dinner, which makes it very easy! Using vinyl, you can just wipe it down and use it again.

  2. Step 2

    Take your Easter or Spring colored confetti and spread it on your table cloth, before you set your table. This will set the mood for Easter or Spring. If your table cloth is white, pastel colored confetti will surely make the table look nice.

  3. Step 3

    Set your table with paper plates. By using the paper, you can cut down on being in the kitchen and cleaning all day. After your day is done just roll up the table cloth and its contents and toss the whole thing.

  4. Step 4

    Fill your eggs with M& m's and the marshmallow treats. Spread these on the table and or tables. Its ok to mark a name on each one with a sharpie and put at each place setting. The choice is yours. If you choose to use one for each place setting, then it may be a smart idea to hold a side some extras for the children.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep it simple and cheap.
  • Kids enjoy helping, maybe include them in putting out the confetti and eggs.
  • This type of decor can be used for any other holiday as well.
  • May become a habit
