Easter Traditions

Start some fun Easter traditions with a whimsical Easter Egg tree and a yummy Easter brunch.

Your friends and family will be delighted at the sight of this charming Easter Egg Tree.You can decorate a small, living tree in your own yard or just use a small dead branch, about 2ft. tall, for a table centerpiece.

Checklist

• Lifetime Table
• Lifetime folding chairs
• If you’re using a single branch, you’ll need an appropriate -sized container to put it in, filled with pebbles (plain or decorative) to support the branch in an upright position.
• Several empty, colored plastic eggs preferably with the small hole in the top, but not necessary. If you’re going to use the plastic eggs without holes, you’ll need see-through tape to attach the ribbons.
• Decorative ribbon to tie each egg to the tree branches
• String
• For Potted Branch Only--White acrylic paint and small sponge to apply paint to the tree branches (Do not apply paint to a living tree)

Steps

1. Set up workspace using portable, stain-resistant Lifetime table and chairs
2. If you’re using a potted branch, apply white acrylic paint to the entire branch using a small sponge brush or sponge. Let paint dry, then insert branch into pot of pebbles in an upright position.
3. For each plastic egg, cut a 23in. length of ribbon.
4. If you’re using plastic eggs with holes in the top, loop a 3 inch piece of string through the hole in the egg leaving both ends free on the inside of the egg shell. Pull the ribbon through the loop of string on top of the egg until the string is in the middle of the piece of ribbon. From the inside of the shell, pull the ends of the string down tight to hold the ribbon securely to the top of the egg, tying a couple of knots to keep it secured. Tie each end of the ribbon around the tree branch in a bow so that the egg hangs down from the branch. Do this to each egg until the branches are full of hanging Easter Eggs.
5. If you’re using plastic eggs without a hole in the top, tape the middle of the ribbon to the tip of the plastic egg and tie each end of the ribbon around the tree branch in a bow so that the egg hangs down from the branch. Do this to each egg until the branches are full of hanging Easter Eggs.
6. If you’re using a potted branch, you may choose to decorate your container as well.
