Easter Carrot Cutlery

Since I threatened to keep going with my Easter Egg Hunt 101 tips, I

thought I'd share another easy idea for a pretty

Easter table.

I'm not sure if you can even see it here, but I

made "carrot cutlery" to go along with the pretty

pastel paper plates (sshhhhhhhhh, don't tell ~

fine china just wasn't feasible for such a large

group!).

  I found

this idea in Family Fun Magazine back in 2006. 

It's obviously one of their most popular ideas,

since it's STILL on their website!  It's really

easy. 

Here's all you need:

Orange party napkins
green plastic cutlery
green pipe cleaners
(I used two different complimentary greens)

The napkins and cutlery were purchased at a party supply store and the pipe cleaners at Michael's.

Since I made these during my pre-blogging days I
don't have as-you-go pictures {sorry!}. 

So here's Family Fun's easy instructions:

For each carrot, fold one of the paper napkins

into a rectangle. Don't be afraid to re-fold them

from their original configuration, whatever that

may be (i.e., a square, etc.).  Place a set of

utensils across the lower left corner of the

rectangle, fold in the lower right corner as shown,

then roll it up loosely.

Wrap one or two green pipe cleaners around the

napkin and necks of the utensils, then twist them

to secure, as shown.  Cut down the pipe cleaners

to size.

And voila'.

So simple, yet they really make a statement.  I was

pretty proud of mine, and have made them every

year for the great egg hunt.

Hope you like this tutorial, and stay tuned for a

few more Easter-themed crafts/decor tips to come

between now and Easter.

Spring, it's bound to be here soon.
