My Other Little Easter Egg Tree

 

I made this little Easter Egg tree to help "Easterfy" my house. I made this one just like this one, but I used small plastic Easter eggs instead of foam ornaments. I found the eggs in a discount store by me, I spent $1.00 for 2 packs of 24 eggs! Thanks to the supper sale on the eggs, this decoration only cost me $2.00 to make! For a tutorial on how to make your own, check out the other Easter Egg Tree I made.

Little Easter Egg Tree Decoration

As we prepare for Easter this year, I have really been trying to make some decorations because I really don't have any. I love how this came out! This little Easter Tree was simple to make, it didn't take too long to make, and it only cost about $5.00 to make.

 

 

I picked these little foam egg ornaments up from the dollar store, they are the same ones that I hung on my Easter Tree. I used almost 4 packs of them to make the tree. I cut the ribbon off of each egg with scissors and they worked perfectly.

 

I picked up the foam cone from the dollar store as well. If you don't have any leftover paper grass, you can also pick up a bag in the dollar store.

I heated my glue gun and started to glue these eggs in place.

 

I started at the bottom and worked my way up...

Until the whole cone was covered in eggs. 

Then I took the paper grass and using a pencil, I "stuck" it in all of the cracks, spaces, and crevices.

I didn't need to use any additional glue to hold the paper in place.

 

Easy Peasy Easter Decoration, I love it :)

 

French Toast Casserole

Today, I had 10 kids and 7 moms over for a brunch. It was our little Easer celebration before things get too crazy next week. We ate, we made little Easter Baskets out of recycled soda bottles (I will post pictures this weekend at some point), and we had an Easter Egg Hunt! It was a fun and delicious day! My main course was this delicious, inexpensive,  and very easy to make French Toast Casserole. I love casseroles and bakes that you prepare the night, it makes the mornings so much easier! Give this one a try, your family and friends will thank you for it!!  

 

French Toast Casserole

Ingredients

1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
1 cup brown sugar
14 slices of white bread or Texas Toast bread
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

Directions

Melt butter in microwave & add brown sugar, mix until combined.

Pour butter/sugar mix into bottom of a greased  9 x 13 pan and spread evenly.

 Beat eggs, milk, & vanilla until combined. 

 Cut the bread slices in half and lay a single layer of bread in pan over the butter/brown sugar mixture.

Spoon 1/2 of egg mixture evenly on top of the layer of bread.
  Add the second layer of bread on top o the other and spoon remaining egg mixture on top.

Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and cover & refrigerate overnight.

Remove the casserole from the fridge and let it sit for 30 minutes. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and let it bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes or until bread is puffed and golden.
  Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup if desired.

I prefer it without the syrup, this recipe is plenty sweet! Enjoy!

 

 

Trust me, it tastes even better than it looks!

Ready, Set, PEEPS!

 

 

We made these adorable (and yummy) cars out of Twinkies.

We used half of a large marshmallow to make each wheel and a pretzel for the steering wheel.

So simple and fun to make with the kids!

 

 

PEEPS on Skateboards!!

 

My kids and I had so much making these with their friends!

They were so easy to make, we used Vienna cookies, Gummy Life Savers, and a tiny bit of frosting to make the skateboards.

Plastic Easter Egg Wreath

This is a simple Easter decoration that I threw together in minutes that really helped brighten up my house.  I simply glued 9 large plastic Easter eggs together with my low temperature glue gun and then tied a string to it.

Easy Easter Wreath Craft for Kids

 

This weekend, my husband and my older son went camping with our Boy Scout Troop. Unfortunately, it was a very rainy weekend, it rained all three days of their trip.

With them away, it left my little guy and I with the house to ourselves. We decided to make it a craft weekend. This easy Easter Wreath is one of the crafts we made.

 

 

I love simple crafts that I can make with things that I have on hand!

We used a paper plate, a little Easter grass, construction paper, and school glue.

  

 

I cut out some egg shapes from construction paper using a template that I found on Google.

For a standard paper plate, you will need 6-7 eggs.

I cut the middle out of the paper plate to make our "wreath."

 

 

 I put glue all over the plate and my son stuck some grass onto it.

We put more glue on the eggs and he placed them where he wanted them.

 

 

He added a little Easter Bunny to the middle.

We let it dry and then I trimmed the grass with scissors.

 

 

He enjoyed making his wreath so much that he wanted to make a second one!

I had him "decorate" the eggs with crayons for the second one.
