How’s this  cute idea for the Easter table?

Easter is all about beautiful color, right?

Peeps and Gerber Daisies are all you need for this “stunning” pink centerpiece.

Just line the glass vase with the peeps and place a smaller glass cup inside the peep circle for the flowers.  Fill with gerber daisies or any flowers you choose.

Insert a long candy stick inside the peeps and place  in the flower arrangement. You’ll need about 8 of them.

Peeps come in various colors and I’m going to make 3 different centerpieces for each of my Easter tables.

This particular option is slightly different but equally stunning.  Start with a layer of orange jelly beans, place the yellow peeps on top of them finishing with gorgeous

Orange tulips  on top.

Found this on Katie Brown.

And finally, this last idea is my favorite.

This one is not only a ” table cutie” but it’s healthy too.

Get new clay pots and insert in them a separate cup that is filled with hummus or vegetable dip.

Wash baby carrots and make a little hole in the top of each one with a toothpick.

Insert a piece of  fresh  curly parsley in the hole on top of the carrots.

Plant the carrots in the dip.

Make several and let you guests take one home complete with a  bag of carrot seeds under the cup so your guests can grow their own carrots.

Hope you’ll try one of these easy and fun ideas this Easter.
