Here is an simple way to personalize and adorn your Easter table with an egg cup vase as a place card. I don't know where I originally saw the idea, but it is a favorite of mine. It is a craft that your guests of all ages can make before dinner, or you can have them already made. A variation is to place a fluffy craft chick inside with the top of the eggshell as a cap! They can be used year after year! Materials: * Wooden egg pedestal (AC Moore Crafts) * Fresh Egg * Paper scraps, ribbon, buttons, tiny decorations * Dainty fresh flowers * Fluffy craft yellow chick (instead of flowers) * Glue Gun Here are the steps to make one: 1. Crack an egg near its top, and reserve egg for a recipe. Carefully rinse out egg and pat dry. Keep the little eggshell top you cracked off for the chick version. 2. Glue, using a hot glue gun, the egg cup to the pedestal. 3. Decorate the outside of the cup with ribbon, buttons, mini flowers, etc. 4. Write the person's name on a little piece of paper and glue. 5. FIll cup with water and arrange flowers or: 6. Tuck craft chick in and glue eggshell cap to its head as its top hat!
