    In Sweden we make "Easter trees" (påsk ris), take small branches of saplings from birch stick them in a vase and decorate them with feathers, coloured egg shells, or other small Easter decorations

    If you search this forum on "Easter" you can get quite a few threads with ideas, this one

    from 2008, probably got the most suggestions
  • I blogged these cutters that i got a few weeks ago from poundland

    and here is a christmas project that could be adapted to use with them
  • Craftfairies - I have just been admiring all the lovely things on your blog. Lots of lovely inspiration - thankyou :T.

    I love your cutter idea -it looks simple but so effective. I hope you don't mind a few questions:
    - do you know where I could find a pretty border to go along the top of the poem like your Christmas design? Did you use some clip art or was it a stamp?
    - did you find the sprinkles stayed crisp in the packet?

    Thanks for your great idea

    I know you used toffee bonbons but quality save had snow drops (think that's what they are called) the cadburys ones anyway at 19p a bag the other day which look the same and is another alternative to toffee. Think these look so cute and would be lovely for any type of easter fete as well.
