Easter Placecards
Granted there were only seven of us at the Easter table today at my Mom's, but ya just gotta have placecards. I made these coconut and white chocolate nests (which taste really good, but I used a little too much chocolate and the nests turned out more solid and less "grassy"). Plopped two jelly beans in, set it on a doily in a pretty vintage bowl, garnished with a craft feather, and stuck a placecard into each.
The cards are made from paint chip cards. Whenever I go into a paint store, I always grab a bunch. I have a huge stack at home. The colors are so pretty and varied, and I wind up using them for all kinds of crafts. I made the placecards by cutting out parts of the chip cards, sticking on an Easter sticker, and writing the names with Sharpies.
What a darling idea Dawn. BTW, i love you handwriting! I hope you had a lovely Easter with your family. Cammy

ReplyDeleteCan you ever have too much chocolate? I haven't gotten to that point, I'm afraid! Your table is beautiful. I'm sure your guests were thankful for such a thoughtful hostess.
