Add a touch of elegance to the dinner table this Easter with hand-crafted menus.
Materials Needed:
- Cardstock and A4 (or letter) paper
- Template of a bunny silhouette (find one on the Internet you like)
- Pencil
- Scissors
- White carnation
- Small piece of greenery (optional)
- White ribbon (optional)
- Printed menu items
- Glue stick
- Hole punch
- Optional, but super helpful: Cricut machine
Instructions:
- Prepare the Template and Cardstock:
- Print out or draw a bunny silhouette on a piece of paper.
- Place your bunny template on the cardstock and trace around it with a pencil. Use scissors to carefully cut out the bunny silhouette from the cardstock.
- If you have a Cricut machine, you can simply upload a template and the machine will cut out your bunny for you.
- Prepare the Menu:
- Type out your Easter menu on a computer, using a font and size that fits well on the body of the bunny silhouette.
- Print the menu onto another piece of paper. Place the bunny template on top and cut out a bunny shape (the menu should be centred in the bunny shape).
- Attach the Menu:
- Use a glue stick to adhere the menu onto the cardboard bunny silhouette.
- Create the Carnation Tail:
- If your carnation has a long stem, trim it so that just enough stem remains to secure it to the bunny.
- Use a hole punch to make a small hole in the location where the tail should be.
- Thread the stem through the hole and secure it on the back with tape.
- Add Decorative Elements:
- If you’d like, you can tie a small white ribbon in a bow around the neck of the bunny cutout or add a piece of greenery next to the carnation tail to mimic leaves.
- Presentation:
- Set each place at your Easter dining table with a plate and a bunny menu card.
- The white carnation tail will add a touch of elegance and a 3D effect to your tablescape, making it a delightful addition to your Easter celebration.
Note: If you want to use fresh flowers, prepare the bunny menu cards on the day of your Easter event to ensure the carnation looks its best. If you’d like a more lasting menu card, you can opt for high-quality artificial flowers instead.
