Chocolate Easter Greeting {tutorial}

Now that St. Patrick's Day is over, I can focus on Easter!  I absolutely love the pastels + springtime feel that Easter brings into the castle!  I love doing little "welcome" signs by the front door (as you might have been able to tell with the overkill signage that I've done in the past).  This one is close to my heart because it involves something that I love almost as much as my fam-jam...chocolate!  Here are the details friends:


Supplies Needed:
  • artist canvas (mine is 8"x10")
  • Easter picks (or you can use foam eggs)
  • chocolate Easter bunnies
  • scrapbooking stickers
  • glue gun (not pictured)
  • scrapbook paper - not pictured as it was an addition after the fact because I thought the artist canvas was too boring on it's own


Step One:
I removed the Easter eggs from the picks + then cut off 1/3 to ensure that they sat flat on the canvas.



Step Two + Three:
I covered the artist canvas with a paper that I thought was Easter-ish + then, using the scrapbooking stickers, spelled out my message at the top.



Step Four:
Glue your Easter eggs + chocolate bunnies to the canvas in an arrangement that you like.






Step Five:
Stick your new greeting in it's handy dandy little holder thing on the front hall table + take a couple of pictures to show off share with your bloggy friends!

Nifty + Thrifty:
  • Artist canvas - Dollarama - $1
  • Easter picks - Dollarama - $1
  • Chocolate bunnies - Dollarama - $1
  • Scrapbooking stickers - Dollarama - $1
  • Glue gun - already owned - $0
  • Scrapbooking paper - already owned - $0
  • Sign holder thingy - already owned - $0
  • TOTAL COST - $4
Now, I'm sure you're wondering what happened to chocolate bunny #5...well...



...let's just say he's enjoying a little rest in my tummy!  Yum!  And crafting can not go without rewards, agreed?
