First signs of spring

High season for Easter bunnies

Dyeing eggs, doing arts and crafts projects, making flower arrangements: Easter is around the corner, and for fans of decorating there’s no holding back! And for all those of you who are short on time, here’s a quick, easy idea.

Happy Easter!

Eggs in a glass

Small or large eggs, hard-boiled and home-dyed or bought from a craft market, are carefully placed on top of one another in a water glass or candleholder bearing seasonal greetings (see below).

Tip:
Eggs made of stone, wood, papier mâché, and so on are also suitable for this.

Your Easter greeting

Your Easter greeting

Keep it simple! The message “Happy Easter,” handwritten on pretty paper (choose a sturdy type at your stationery or office supply store), says everything you need to say. And if you wish, you can also use tesa® Photo Film to affix a daisy too. Then the message is attached to the glass using invisible tesa Powerstrips® Deco.

Tip:
This idea is also good for the menu or name cards at Easter brunch.

In their natural habitat

Bunny parade

You will need a flat-sided glass vase or bowl (round or rectangular) that you fill with soil up to 2 cm (1 in.) below the lip. Sow the seeds of your Easter grass on top (you can get wheat seeds at many organic food stores), water them, cover them with a piece of plastic wrap, and allow them to germinate.

When the first tender shoots appear, remove the wrap and allow your Easter grass to grow. Now the stage is set for a pink and green parade of bunnies.

Tip:
Complete the arrangement with candy eggs, jellybeans, Jordan almonds, etc. in matching colors.

Attach the bunnies with double-sided tesa® Photo Film to the vase.

Dusky pink or moss green?

Preferably both! For the bunnies, make a pattern (or find one in an Easter book), transfer it to craft felt, and cut along the outline.

Then the bunnies are attached to the vase with double-sided tesa® Photo Film.
