Easter is almost here!  But don’t worry if you don’t have your Easter dinner place cards yet because I have a quick and simple (but way cute!) idea to share with you today!

We usually celebrate Easter with an Easter egg hunt for the kids and a big dinner with our extended family. So I thought it would be fun to make some cute place card holders for the kids. They LOVE finding their name and where to sit at the dinner table.

Supply list:

1. Small terra cotta pot and base

2. Acrylic paints

3. Sponge brush

4. Wheatgrass

5. M&M’s or other small candies

6. Chalkboard clothespins

7. Plastic egg

Step 1 – Paint your pot & base.  Use two coats of paint allowing 1 hour to dry in between coats.

Step 2 – Cut wheatgrass to fit the size of your pot and place in pot.

Step 3 – Place pot on painted base and add candies, chalkboard tag and plastic egg.

Now you have a fun, quick and easy placecard holder for Easter!

A few little hints:  I found wheatgrass at my local grocery store, but Whole Foods carries it as well.  And if you don’t have the chalkboard clothespin tags laying around your house, you can either write directly on the pot with chalk or simply print out a cute tag (like these from Wanessa Carolina Creations) and attach it with a clothespin.  For more Easter printables, check out this post!

Does your family have some Easter traditions that you’ve developed over the years?  How will you be celebrating Easter this year?
