Easter Grass Vases

Cherie Burbach — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:51:06 +0000

Want a fun and frugal way to dress up your Easter meal or even coffee table? Take a plain vase (and I know we have a lot of those clear vases lying around!) and stuff it with Easter grass.

If you’re like me, you probably have a bunch of different types and shades. I tend to buy some every year and then hesitate in throwing out the old stuff.

For this project, take all your old Easter grass and stuff it in the vase. It doesn’t matter if the colors or textures of grass are different. Throw a bag of jelly beans on top of the vase, and you’ve got an instant decoration! (Your guests will even be able to eat it!)

Jenna, at Whip Up, has a great tutorial for making a no-sew decorative ornament. She suggests thinking about varying the color for different seasons too!

Eileen, over at the Artful Crafter, is always full of good ideas! A recent series sent Eileen scrambling for all things to do with Christmas ornaments, and many of her designs are quite nice. I particularly liked these decoupaged ornaments that she made and wrote up directions for, but I would suggest checking out all of her ideas!
