Easter Bunny Centerpiece
Now that you have created the main focal point of the centerpiece, begin filling in with flowers around and in front of the piece using varying heights. You want the bunny/chick to look like it's sitting amidst the flora. For extra definition and symmetry, add some long stemmed items from the side of the wreath just beside or in front of the Easter piece. You can expand this idea and add stems to the inside rim also.
Keep in mind you will continue with the tableau setting across the lower half of the wreath. Once you have the bunny/chick in place, flowers and greenery added, you should have used up at least half, or more, of the bottom half of the wreath. In the remaining quarter, place short flowers and small bits of greenery into the moss. Now create a bird/butterfly collection among the flowers. Secure with hot glue. Create a raffia and/or silk bow and glue at the base of the bunny/chick. Fill in where needed and embellish as much as you like with this cheerful centerpiece.
Now, we're on to the smaller pieces. Whether using these as name card holders or goodie holders, we'll use the same basic steps as above with a few changes. Since we're working with a much smaller wreath, cover the top of each wreath, all the way around, with the colorful moss. You can do each in a separate color, or combine colors; it's up to you! Option: You can wind a piece or multi-pieces of ribbon over, under and around the wreath securing the moss in place and adding extra Easter color. If using as a place card holder, once you have the card filled in, place a small strip of hot glue on top of the front half of the wreath (length of the card) and across the moss and gently stick the card into the glue. If you have any miniature butterflies, birds, bunnies or chicks, hot glue at the corner of the card for that extra holiday touch. Snippet: If you have kids at the dinner, you can make up one of these, with their name, for each.
If you opt not to use name cards, follow the above steps and instead of the card, create a small tableau with flowers and bunnies.
The last step involves making the goody packages. Using 2 or 3 sheets of Easter tissue paper (one of each color), cut
