Earlier this week, my little guy helped me make a few quick changes to our Spring mantel. It only took us a few minutes to convert it into something that he could actually get excited about!
I don't have a lot of storage space for seasonal decor, so I used the same base items and tweaked them just a little to change the theme to Easter.
We replaced the 'hope' plate with a look-a-like 'hippity-hoppity' plate, temporarily covered the brown paper on the candle with a piece of Easter ribbon, and added some bright colored flowers to the wreath.
We also added a few Easter egg hunt picks to the greenery, replaced the lantern with a basket of Easter eggs, and substituted the star garland for a bright 30's reproduction print bunting.
*All of the info. and tutorials on the Easter decor is in last years post if you'd like to know more about any of the items.
Also, if you need a last minute print to frame for a Sunday lesson or to use at home, both the Easter and Spring Subway Art Prints are available in several different colors and can be printed in different sizes.
Have a most wonderful Easter Weekend!

Very cute and I love that you did it with your son. Nothing gets excited about holidays than to be involved in special projects.
This is so cute! Well done little guy! Happy Easter!
This is just the cutest! The picks just make the difference to me! I want to try that on my mantel! :)

What a beautiful Easter mantel! I love the banner! I like the stars on the Hope one, too. Gorgeous! :)
Your mantels are always so pretty, and this one is no exception! I think it's great that you just gave your spring mantel a little spruce up of Easter decor instead of completely redecorating it.
