Pottery Barn Inspired Easter Tablescape

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Easter TablescapeEaster is almost here and I have finally put the finishing touches on my holiday tablescape! This year I wanted soft colors and natural elements for lots of texture with a relatively simple look.

Pottery BarnI was inspired by this tablescape from Pottery Barn, but I wanted a much less cluttered feel…and I needed it to be much less expensive, too!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Getting the Pottery Barn Look for Less I started playing with the idea back in early March and shared my hunt for elements that would allow me to get the Pottery Barn look for less. You can get all the details, including my sources and price comparisons, by clicking here.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Easter Tablescape And here is the look that I finally settled on…with just a few changes from the original.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Easter TablescapeI removed a few of the layers for a simpler look, substituting Pier 1 lace doily plates for the original aqua dessert plates. I think I like the clean look of more white with just pops of color.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Easter TablescapeYou may remember that I was on the hunt for Pottery Barn copy-cat bunny egg cups and had managed to find only two at Walmart. I needed four and had searched every store within driving distance when it dawned on me…just get two in the other colors and spray paint them white! Well…of course! So I did!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Easter TablescapeYou may have noticed that the Pottery Barn version has a cake plate with burlap-wrapped gifts on top and I liked that idea. Soooo…I pulled out my cake plate and added my little no-sew burlap bunny treat bags.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Burlap Bunny Treat BagEach one is labeled with a paint chip Easter egg name tag and filled with their favorite treats. And best of all…no sewing was required! You can get all the details here.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Easter TablescapeRemember the Pottery Barn inspired burlap-wrapped vases that I created? I filled them with faux white tulips...on sale at Michaels...and placed them down the center of the table

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Easter Tablescape And here it is…my Pottery Barn inspired Easter tablescape! I love the simple look of the aqua, white and burlap!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Easter Projects In fact, those are the elements that I have used for most of my projects this Easter.  And…I have had lots of fun making most of them no-sew as well! The cute bunny ear napkin rings, burlap bunny silverware pouches and egg cozies will go on the Easter breakfast table. Here are the links in case you would like to check them out…

KITTYAs for my co-host, Miss Kitty seems more interested in checking out a flock of birds at the backyard feeder than the tablescape! It’s that time of year!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn Inspired Easter TableI think I am going to enjoy this simple tablescape and I hope my guests will, too!  
And…I am wishing a wonderful Easter to you, my dear readers!

Last Minute Easter...Easy No-Sew Egg Cozy

I am excited to join the No-Sew Showcase gang this month to bring you some last minute ideas for Easter! I am sharing my super-easy no-sew egg cozies. They will add a festive touch to your Easter table to keep those eggs warm or simply serve as a little gift for your guests. And…the good news is that you don't have to sew a single stitch to create them!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Egg Cozy Aren’t they cute? I couldn’t believe how easy they were to make…just a few minutes for each one!
Here’s what you will need:
  • A 9x12 inch piece of felt for each cozy (only 29 cents each at Michaels)
  • Lengths of 3/8 inch wide ribbon
  • Puff balls for the tails
  • Small black brads for the eyes, using only the top button part (I found them in the scrapbooking section at Michaels)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors
  • Bunny cozy template (see below)
 CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Bunny Egg Cozy Template
Here is the template for the bunny cozy. I was inspired by the one that I found here, but it didn’t fit over my egg cups.  I had to make some adjustments and you may find that you have to do that, too. I printed it at 5x7 size using Photoscape, a free download, since I can easily control the size of my print-outs.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Egg Cozy Tutorial And here’s what you will do:
  1. Double the felt, pin the pattern and cut out the pieces.
  2. Run a small, thin bead of hot glue along the edge of the pattern, leaving the bottom open. Before the glue has had a chance to cool, carefully put the top piece in place over it. (Be careful...you don't want to get burned...yikes!) There’s not much room for error, so be sure you have it where you want it. Hint: Don’t go all the way to the edge with the glue to allow for it to spread a little. Don’t press too hard or it will show through.
  3. Tie a length of ribbon around the bunny’s neck. You may add a small drop of hot glue under the knot to hold it in place. Then, using tin snips, cut the back tabs off of the brad and secure the little remaining button to the bunny as the eye with a small drop of hot glue.
  4. Turn the bunny over, add a small drop of hot glue to the bottom center and position the tail.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Egg Cozy And…taaa daaa!…here he is! Isn’t he cute? I love the little festive touch that he adds to the table! They will be a fun surprise for my guests at Easter brunch…and they may take them home with them, too!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Egg CozyAnd here’s how it looks from the back…love it! I think this is the cutest, easiest and least expensive bang for my buck that I have ever gotten! The felt was only 29 cents for each cozy and I already had everything else.

OZZIE Our CEO Miss Ozzie is not much impressed, however. She would rather enjoy the afternoon sun. It’s not a real bunny after all, she says. So what’s the big deal?

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Egg Cozy But I love them…so I am giving you one final look. And now Here Comes Peter Cottontail is playing non-stop in my brain! lol

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT No-Sew Egg Cozy And, speaking of cottontails, here's a final look at the view from the back! I think the yellow is my favorite because…
