I though these would make cute place-cards or table decorations

Print on colored card-stock and cut out on dotted line.
Bring legs up then wrap one arm in front of legs and then bring the other arm around and place on top of the first arm. Staple where claws on bunny should be.

Here’s a little something for the children’s table at Easter —- a bunny napkin ring.

I wrapped silverware in an orange napkin then fastened with a green pipe cleaner and slipped the “carrot” into the bunny. If you have a hard time with the bunny standing up, a cotton ball glued to the back would provide stability and be a cute addition.
You will find a matching Bunny Egg holder here.
We had so much fun making these window clings —–the possibilities for seasonal and everyday decorations are endless.
You will need a roll of clear contact paper, paint brushes, paint (we used acrylic), fine sandpaper and masking tape.
First cut a piece of contact paper from the roll. I cut squares about 5″ x 5″ because that was about the size of shapes I knew I would be cutting.
Take a fine piece of sandpaper and lightly sand the shiny surface of the contact paper where you will be painting. Wipe off any dust. This step helps the paint adhere to the slick contact paper.
Since we are often VERY messy when we paint I taped a piece of wax paper to the table. Tape the piece of contact paper shiny(sanded) side up onto the wax paper.
Paint onto the contact paper square. Since my daughter is three I encouraged her to paint using lots of colors. I knew I would be cutting out Easter eggs so it really didn’t matter what or how she painted.
Allow the painting to dry completely. I think she painted about 10 of these squares.
Once the paint is completely dry take another square of contact paper the same size as your painting and peel off the paper backing. Cover your painting with the clear contact paper. Smooth out any bubbles.
Trace around any shape of your choosing. I used an egg and bunny for my template.
Cut out the shape
Carefully remove the paper backing. This takes some time —–make sure you are only removing the paper (the back of your painting should be sticky). If you use acrylic paint it is plastic enough that it has a tendency to peel away from the contact paper, so peel carefully! If it does peel away and it won’t stick back down just put a little glue stick between the layers.
Once you are finished stick your silhouettes to your window
from the outside looking in
from the inside looking out
I would encourage older kids to paint their own designs and then cut out. I can imagine huge flowers and birds! Nothing is sweeter than kid’s art!
Have fun!!
This is my last minute solution for simple Easter table decorations. I purchase mini grapevine wreaths, bundled in a 6 pack, from the craft store. They are really inexpensive and can be found even cheaper this week at Hobby Lobby—-50% off! (I used the same wreaths for the chalkboard eggs.)
Fill the center of each wreath with Easter grass and then a few foil wrapped chocolate eggs. I place one nest in the center of each guest’s plate.
Bon Appetit!
