Decorations for the Easter Table

Face cloth Easter Bunnies

This craft is very simple and requires only a face cloth, piece of ribbon and an elastic.  We started by taking our granddaughters to the store where they picked out bright coloured face cloths choosing one for each person who will be attending our Easter Sunday family dinner - they will take their face cloth home with them following the meal.

Step one:  Place the face cloth in front of you with a point towards you and roll tightly until you reach the middle.  Turn the cloth making sure to keep the rolled edge tight 180 degrees.  Now roll this point towards the middle

Step two:  Now you fold the rolled face cloth in half matching up the to pointed ends.  Note the rolled edge should be on the inside of the fold.

Step three:  Depending on the age of the child this is the step will require adult assistance.   You are going bend the two pointed ends in on themselves - and place an elastic over the bend.  This forms the face and ears.

Now you can decorate your bunny tie a piece of ribbon around only the ears and adjust the ears so that they separate.  Place an Easter egg in the circle formed by the face cloth and place on your plate.

There have been a number of Google+ post of late showing brightly coloured crocheted face cloths next year I would like to redo this same decoration only give each person a hand made face cloth.  Please note this is not an original craft you will find this project on Pinterest, Girl Guides and many other places.

Happy Easter Everyone

Hand Crafted Christmas Gift Under $10.00

Gift Sleighs

 Under $10.00

For today’s Christmas craft I went to my Pinterest Board “Ideas to say thank you to staff” and ellyn’s place December 8, 2011 blog post candy sleighs.

Ellyn made her sleighs out of candy.  We wanted less sugar and a more adult gift.  So we went to our local dollar store and Tim Horton's.

Cost per sleigh

A box of 24 candy canes was $3.00	=	.25
Sesame snaps	=	.50
Lip Balm 2 @ 1.25	=	.63
Pen a package of 5 was 1.00	=	.20
Tim Horton gift card	=	5.00
Total cost	=	6.58

It took us 40 minutes to make 9 sleighs.  

Step #1

Decide how you will assemble your sleigh.  We originally thought we would include an individual package of tissue on each sleigh and we soon realized this item did not work.

Step #2

The flattest item to go on our sleigh was the Tim Horton Gift Card and so it became the base.  

Step#3

Using just a small dot of hot glue Emily glued the Sesame snap to the gift card

Step #4

Again using just a small dot of glue she glued on the pen and lip balm

Step #5

Using three dots along each candy cane we glued the gift card to the candy cane runners.  You need to hold the candy cane runners in place until the glue is set

Step #6

Decorate your sleigh with ribbon.

I will be giving these sleighs to my staff as a Holiday Treat.

Note: When working with a hot glue gun I always place the hot gun in an oven proof container too prevent someone from accidentally touching the hot tip.
