I am so excited to bring you these ideas for an AWESOME EASTER TABLE!  I wanted to do something different with the grass, not just the typical Easter basket grass.  So I came up with using yarn.  I don’t expect you to make the centerpiece on this scale.  I already had the tray, so that’s what I went with. Use an old serving tray or bread bowl. Go thrifting for a unique item. NOTE: The grass is glued down. You’ll want to pick something where the grass can stay permanently.

How to Put Together Your Easter Dinner Table

I have a few tricks for putting together a fun personal party table. I do this with all my parties. I add something special to each place setting, whether that be something that goes with the theme or a homemade treat.

• TABLESCOTH: This depends on how elegant you want your table. I chose to use an old quilt, which added some old charm without being fancy.
• PLACE SETTING: For this table, each guest received an Easter basket, complete with a chocolate Easter bunny and chocolate eggs. At each place setting, I also added a candle. Scroll down to find out how to use and make colored rice↓. TIP: PLACE THE CANDLE IN A SEPARATE HOLDER INSIDE THE MAIN HOLDER. THIS WILL PRESERVE YOUR RICE, AND THE CANDLE WILL BURN LONGER.
• CENTERPIECE: The centerpiece has pho grass made with yarn. Another option is wheat grass. This will need to be done a few weeks in advance. HOW TO GROW WHEAT GRASS: To grow wheatgrass from seeds in a tray, fill the tray with a thin layer of quality potting soil, evenly sprinkle soaked wheatgrass seeds across the surface, lightly cover with a thin layer of soil, mist with water regularly, and place the tray in indirect sunlight until the seeds germinate and the grass grows to your desired length; remember not to overwater. The last option would be to use plastic Easter basket grass.

Other Party Table Decorating Options for the Grass Centerpiece

Depending on the size of your centerpiece, this project can be a little time-consuming. So, here are some ideas about how you can use your gran centerpiece multiple times.

• SPRING PARTY OR GARDEN PARTY: Sprinkle flowers into the centerpiece along with birds, butterflies, and bees. You can also add battery-operated fairy lights. Lay small clay pots on their sides and tuck a bird’s nest inside. Add paper kites soaring above! You can find kites in my Free Easty Party Printable Collection.

• KIDS’ EASTER TABLE: For a more whimsical look, insert small pinwheels and plastic eggs filled with small toys. This is especially fun if you live in an area where you can eat outside so the pinwheels can spin.
• WOODLAND CENTERPIECE: Fill your centerpiece with bunnies, squirrels, fairies, butterflies, and flowers! CLICK HERE FOR A CLOSER LOOK→TINKER BELL WOODLAND PARTY GUEST TABLE

How to Color Rice

Aside from the usual items you have at a place setting (plates, cutlery, napkins), I also added a small candle holder ( I found at the dollar store) with a votive candle holder and candles inside set in colored rice. Using colored rice for party tables is one of my favorite ways to bring in color.

• Coloring Rice is easy.  Pour your rice into a zip-top bag, add enough rubbing alcohol to coat the rice, and then add your food coloring. Rub in the color and pour it out onto a piece of wax paper to dry, making sure to move the rice around every so often to allow the bottom to dry.  Make a bag of rice for each color.
