Grand Easter Basket Centerpiece

My fancy Easter Basket!

Set inside a silver pedestal punch bowl I bought last year at Brimfield,

I added various spring faux flowers, shredded easter grass and painted eggs.

I have had this twig style basket for several years now.

  I set it inside the punchbowl and then stuffed shredded paper

easter grass around the gap between the basket and the punchbowl.

They make this paper Easter grass in all kinds of colors so you can 

coordinate it with your home color palette. I used purple and green.

 Then I filled it with lots of different kinds of faux flowers I had 

in my storage bin. The more I added, the better it looked.  Fake lilac

sprigs, peonies, roses, ferns and berries on sticks.  

A garland of florals was draped around the mirror above to create a 

bigger statement featuring the basket.

 The effect was a whimsical woodland Easter.

 You could add little sheep or bunnies to the basket or the table top,

more eggs....more more more!!!

 On the table I made another vignette with a vintage centerpiece bowl. 

Filled with dried rose heads (that I have been collecting for the past several months)

I added pink blown eggs I made last year for another Easter craft project.

The eggs and roses make an easy and elegant centerpiece, with vintage style.

Mix your regular Easter decorations

with faux flowers, vines and eggs of all kinds.

using unusual containers in your cupboards. 

Its easy and fun, and best of all, it costs almost nothing to make!
