DIY Cactus Eggs & Easter Tablescape

It’s “officially spring” now, yet there is still a few feet of snow up here in Canada and the only thing green is the Cactus plants living in my house right now.  So when I found this fun little cactus egg DIY it was one that I had to try.  Then I added the tablescape to complete this Easter scene.

Read on to find out how to create these little cuties for your own Easter table!

For this DIY you will need:

-Terracotta pots (found mine at Dollerama)

-A Sharpie marker

-Leftover streamers

-Various sized vases

-Faux flowers (also from Dollerama)

-Plastic Easter eggs

-Tree cookies for coasters (found mine at the reuse center)

-Tablecloth (or I used some fabric scraps)

-Cloth napkins (made mine with fabric and tie-dye)

-Placemats (mine are from Ikea- )

-Plates/silverware and other table settings

First, draw the cactus spikes on the eggs with the sharpie.  Then cut a 1″ piece of streamer paper. Next scrunch the paper into a flower shape, then hot glue the paper to the top of your egg. Viola! Cute little cactus eggs!

Now place your eggs in the Terra-cotta pots and decorate your table! I added a bit of yarn to the terra-cotta pots to lift the eggs up a bit.  Then I arranged the vases, flowers, and plastic eggs throughout the table. (This is the real fun part!) 🙂

I love these Dollar store peonies! They are very life-like for only $1 each! I have peonies in my garden outside and they are usually the first to poke through the ground but these faux ones will have to suffice until all the snow is gone!

I also want to rave about our dining chairs.  They are plastic but so surprisingly comfy and so easy to clean sticky finger marks off! And the best part, they were only $49 each (now on sale for $39 each!) from Structube.

These eggs and this tablescape were so easy and fun to make! We are ready for an Easter party!
