Burlap Table Runner

Instead of spending money on an Easter table runner this year, why not make your own? You can create a beautiful country looking runner from burlap and you can stencil in whatever picture or message you want. If you dont really want a burlap runner, add a strip of wood to the top for hanging and create your own tapestry. You can sew this together with the machine or use fabric glue if you prefer a completely no sew method.

Baby Egg Hunt

If you have little ones and want to set up a space for them to hunt eggs, consider filling an inflatable swimming pool with Easter grass and adding your eggs. This keeps little ones from having to compete with older children and gives you a bit more control over where they hunt. Plus, it helps babies who may not be walking well to get in the game and have a ball hunting those eggs.
