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.

What a beautiful Easter mantel! I love the banner! I like the stars on the Hope one, too. Gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
