DIY Easter Centerpiece

This Easter centerpiece will only take seconds to put together and will add an adorable touch to your table.

For as long as I can remember, I have used unconventional items in my house for decorating….mainly for holidays (especially if the budget is tight). I have also been known to use decor from one holiday to decorate for another holiday.

All it takes is a little bit of imagination.

I have recently started collecting cake stands. I don’t know why, really….I don’t bake that many cakes but I have developed a love of pretty cake stands. So when I find them, I buy them. 

The dollar spot at Target has been enabling my obsession with these cute little scalloped cake stands with colored bases. I picked this one with an aqua base as soon as they put it out a few weeks ago. It screamed Spring.

Now what to do with this cute little cake stand……

Last week I was pulling my Spring/Easter decor out of my holiday closet (out in the garage) and found a bag of plastic Easter eggs that I had snatched up on clearance last year. I thought surely I could find a decorative use for them.

I also came across an aqua colored grapevine wreath that I had purchased a few years ago. 

My wheels started turning.

I brought the eggs and the wreath in and as I saw the wreath setting on the counter, it reminded me a little of a nest. Hmmm…..

Now if I could just track down some Easter grass. Every one has Easter grass, right? Nope. Not me. How does that happen?!

Oh, that’s right, I’m not a fan of Easter grass. It gets everywhere. Maybe I’ll postpone my dislike of it this one time. You know, for the sake of decor.

I loved the way this Easter centerpiece turned out! So much so that I may or may not have made another one for my kitchen table using the base of a large tiered tray that I had stashed in serving ware cabinet.
