MONOGRAM EGGS 

Switch out your usual place cards with these adorable monogram eggs! They're so easy! Just use a small paintbrush to fleck tan acrylic paint (thinned out with water) on undyed eggs. Once dry, handwrite each guest's initials with a gold paint pen. 


ALMOND JOY WREATH 

Turn egg-shaped Jordan almonds into a sweet spring decoration! 

All you have to do is take a 12-inch styrofoam wreath, and beginning with the outside circumference, hot-glue the almonds in place, overlapping a few of them to add dimension. Continue in a circular pattern until the entire front, inner, and outer edges of the wreath are covered. Hang with a sturdy piece of cotton ribbon, or oversize rickram trim. 


SPRING BUNNIES GUMBALL MACHINE

With an upside-down flower pot and an empty candy jar, you can create the look of a gumball machine with a sweet Easter scene inside.
