DIY Easter Centerpiece

March 22, 2016
Each Easter we gather our families together for our annual Easter egg hunt and dinner.
This year we celebrated on Palm Sunday.
I always enjoy getting together we our extended and melded family of many.
The day is always filled with much laughter and memory making moments, organized chaos, the sound of busy feet, squeals of delight and smiles.
In fact, if we can make it through one of our large gatherings without any injuries or too big of tears we consider the entire event successful!

This year we combined Easter and our granddaughters Birthday celebration together.
I am sharing with you today one of the simplest Easter Centerpieces you will ever make.
I made another one a few years ago using faux flowers that you might want to take a peek at too, it is here.





Did I mention that I really enjoy entertaining, especially our family...big smile.
I just really like to share with you all, tips on how to entertain in our homes with our families.
You know, family is our most precious gift and making them feel loved, welcome and special is one the the best gifts to give to them and ourselves.

Our Easter gathering is filled with children, so naturally I like to keep the whimsy and magic flowing through our home and make it the theme throughout the day.
So, anything that involves Peeps and marshmallows screams kiddos to me. 



Supplies For DIY Easter Centerpiece

Two Clear vases-One large one and one smaller as the smaller vase will fit inside the larger one.
One package of assorted mini marshmallows.
Several packages of peeps.
Flowers.

I am just going to use arrows, instead of a lengthy explanation of the process that will just make this all seem so much more difficult than it really is, you know what I mean...
This is such a simple assembly.



Presto, in 10 minutes you have a centerpiece.




Happy Birthday sweet Afton, we love you so much!





I found this little tin Chalkboard at Target in the three dollar tubs.




Used a little colored chalk.




The day was so beautiful.
A little windy and cool but there were plenty of eggs and the hunt begins!



Followed by magical bubbles.




Thank you for joining me, looking forward to seeing you back for Wandering Wednesday.

xoxo

  10. Oh... I miss Easter egg hunts! My kids are adults and I no longer teach little kids. Maybe I'll put eggs all over my front lawn and invite the neighbors to hunt for them.

  12. Good morning my friend! I loved this project when I saw it and wondered how you got those peeps in the vase! And the color of the hyacinths....DIVINE! It says spring with the perfume of the garden. How fun to have started the celebration early! I hope that this weekend you will enjoy the HAPPINESS of hope as we look up into the sky to remember our true home. HAVE FUN!

  14. Really cute centerpiece! Those hyacinths are gorgeous. That is a good way to use peeps....they are not edible as far as I am concerned :-) I know kids love them though.

  15. Awe...I just think that is the cutest centerpiece ever! There is nothing like family getting together and sharing fun times. I love watching the little ones hunt eggs and sometimes the big ones. Ha! I hope that you and your precious family has a blessed Easter. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  16. Oh how fun! Little children make it seem to much more special. Looks like Afton was enjoying her birthday celebration too! The marshmallow arrangement is so cute. I've seen it done with jelly beans but not the little marshmallows. Either way they are adorable. I've got a pile of things staged on the dining table to take to my Mom's for Easter. Hopefully this darn winter storm that's coming won't cause too much trouble for travel!

  22. What a fun day, Jemma. All the kids look so sweet looking for their eggs and blowing bubbles. When my kids were small, we would all gather at my mom's house for Easter egg hunts. Your grandkids sure have a large area to explore, which makes it even more fun for them. What a cute post, and I love that glass jar with the yellow marshmallow bunnies.

    Happy Easter, dear Jemma.

    love, ~Sheri

  23. Jemma,
    Very lovely Birthday, Palm Sunday and an early Easter celebration with your family. Love that you did a egg hunt and that little blackboard for 3 bucks looks like a million and added to the excitement of the day.
    Pretty tablescape with peep humor. Wishing you a blessed Easter.
    xoxo,
    Vera

  25. Your centerpiece is so pretty and perfect for Spring and celebrating a birthday. Do you know what else I loved?? That you used paper plates!! We have found that with a large family, it makes clean up so much easier and besides, they're so pretty.
    Happy Easter blessings to you!

  28. Joyce- this is what those special moments with family are all about.
    Your centerpiece is wonderful and perfect for a special family get together!

  29. I love the centrepiece! Quick & easy :) I'm at that in-between stage with family. All my kids and my siblings' kids are mostly adults now, and there aren't any grandkids in our family just yet. So no Easter egg hunts until new babies begin to arrive :( Your family gathering looks like it was a lot of fun, and everyone dressed in their best for dinner ... so cute! Happy Easter!
