Easter Table Crafts
Choose Easter table decor based on your favorite aspect of the holiday, whether that includes chocolate, bunnies, eggs or flowers. Premade decorations can easily be found in stores, but creating your own adds to the holiday fun. Remember that table decorations can be made more visually pleasing by setting boxes under a tablecloth, highlighting the different crafts. Does this Spark an idea?

Easter Tree Centerpiece
-
The Easter table can be adorned with a tree. Start with a dowel placed in a round piece of wood and then add thin horizontal pieces to hold decorations. Hot glue or a staple gun can be used to attach the branches. Hang colored Easter eggs, small pom pom chicks or small birds. Alternately, a branch fallen from a tree can be set in a pot full of plaster of Paris. Spray paint the branch white, and then, once dry, hang items off twigs of the real branch.
Bunny and Carrots Table Display
-
Set up a bunny and carrot display on your Easter table. Make bunnies from white pom poms, pieces of white and pink felt for the ears and mini pom poms for the nose and eyes. The mouth can be sewn on with a few stitches of pink embroidery thread. Create large carrots by covering cone-shaped pieces of Styrofoam with thick orange yarn. Add green leaves with pieces of felt. Place a few large carrots in the center of the table, with small bunnies interspersed among them.

Colored Eggs Centerpiece
-
Display your colored Easter eggs in a table display. Plant mini flower pots with wheatgrass and set an egg in each one. Tie a colorful ribbon that compliments the color of the painted egg around the outside of the pot. Twelve of these pots can be displayed in a mini cupcake holder. Add more ribbons and place a few artificial, or live, daffodil flowers through the center of the display to add more spring color.
Cereal Chicks and Nests
-
Crispy cereal can be formed into chicks and placed in a chocolate crispy cereal nest. Mix marshmallows, butter and cereal of choice. Form the mixture into two round balls, one slightly smaller than the other. Attach the small one on top of the larger one with a dab of peanut butter. Make the nest by molding the chocolate mixture over a plastic bowl. Once cool, remove the bowl and flip the nest over. Fill the nest with artificial Easter grass, chocolate Easter eggs and the baby chicks. The chicks can be embellished with candy, such as gum drops snipped into the shape of a beak, and rolled out into small wing shapes. Add mini chocolate chip eyes for a final touch.
