Easter Table Decor
"A low profile table decoration for the Easter holiday. Materials: Pint size mason jar Crocheted "Easter Basket " Fabric flowers and greenery Plastic eggs, hot glued to straws Hand drawn bunny face on cardstock Cotton ball tail Overall its an easy project. The only tricky part was getting the eggs to stick to the straws! I snipped the ends of the straws, flattened them out and hot glued a small paper disc to them. Then it was easier to hot glue the eggs to the paper discs."
