HOLIDAYS
My expertise in creating parties has certainly come in handy with my most important job: mother of two! Recently, Celebrations.com teamed up with Momlogic.com for a video shoot where I demonstrated how to make some easy Easter centerpieces. In fact, my 4-year-old daughter, Piper, helped out with a candy display centerpiece that would be perfect for an Easter Egg Hunt buffet table. For the last 9 years, coincidentally my son's age, my mantra has been "to save time and money without sacrificing an ounce of style." I repeat this phrase whenever my holiday decorating plans get too "over-the-top." The truth is, you can create a beautiful tabletop without spending all day futzing over little details. Even if you only have 5 minutes to think about making a table pretty, I hope these ideas inspire you to create a holiday display! For more ideas, visit our Easter page.
These centerpieces can be put together with little effort and the results are gorgeous. Watch the video to see the finished displays!
Inspired by the centerpiece in my article, Easter Activities: Simple Easter Brunch, I created the first arrangement in the video with the idea of highlighting yellow tulips and yellow eggs.
I picked up a tulip plant at Target for $3.99 and set it in a nice vase that I had on hand. Then, I covered the dirt surface with sheet moss that I bought at the craft store. Yellow eggs placed at the base of the plant finished it off.

For those who favor a contemporary look, the second centerpiece in the video is for you! I stacked "blown-out" brown and blue-colored eggs in a rectangular glass vase for a clean modern look. Add a trendy holiday touch in your foyer or on your fireplace mantle with this display.

The third centerpiece consists of pink "hard boiled" Easter eggs and pink flowers submerged in a glass cylinder vase. The vase is filled with water and pink flower petals float on top along with a tea-light.

Use 2 pieces of cardstock to act as dividers in the cube vase, making 3 sections.
Then, pour candy into each section, while trying the hold the cardstock in place. Tricky, I know, but your kids or an extra pair of hands might be a big help on this one!
Pull the cardstock out. 3 Place the cube vase with vertical candy layers in the center of your table.
Complete the table display by flanking the center vase with 2 identical Easter candy vases. In the video, I used 2 rectangular vases containing a bed of jellybeans and a chocolate Easter bunny on top.
