DIY Easter Egg Flowers

If your looking for some last minute DIY Easter  ideas, here's a quick and easy little tute for you. These little egg carton flowers would make sweet little favours for your Easter guests, or you could make some as gifts for any friends or family you might be visiting! I made two for our Easter brunch table, and it only took me about 20 minutes. This is also a fun one to do with the kiddies, and really....who says you can only do this for Easter? It would make a cute little decoration for any time of the year!

Hope your enjoying your long weekend!

Picture picnic blankets, sun streaming through the trees, sipping soda-pop out of cute little vintage jars, relaxing with friends and family and children's laughter all around. That's what i think of when i think of Easter. How do you envision your perfect Easter?
