Silhouette Easter Eggs for our Dining Room Table


This past weekend Lillie and I made tons and tons and tons of Easter eggs! We tried out a bunch of different things while playing around with silhouettes. These ones are my favorite and what we have on our dining room table. (I will show you how we made them either tomorrow or Thursday - hopefully tomorrow! And I will show you some of the other colors/styles then too. ) Although I love Easter, I have never been a huge Easter egg fan because they always seemed so "cutesy". I am so excited, though, with how these turned out.
 






This is Jon's place setting (and mine is similar):

And then this is what Lola's (and Lillie is similar):

 

These little cutouts will be available along with some vinyl ones so that you can make eggs as soon as we get more vinyl in. We are very impatiently waiting for it to arrive. As soon as it does we will have the vinyl ones as well as the paper ones available. We are hoping the vinyl will arrive today so that it can be cut this afternoon and we can have them for sale by tomorrow.


 



I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday! I'll hopefully be back tomorrow with lots more Easter eggs!

    I know what you mean about the 'cutesy' that seems to come with Easter eggs! These will definitely be on my Easter brunch table this year. I can't wait for your 'how to post'.
    Thanks!

    I love your eggs - beautiful, simple and elegant. And the place settings are just perfection. I had to look at all your pictures a couple times because everything is just gorgeous!

    I don't really decorate for Easter, but these eggs are so elegant.

    OMG you are a superstar sister! I love these eggs and the presentation! How do you do this with the baby and the busy "helper"?? I loved the last view point into the rooms too~another winner from Dear Lillie!

      Haha - fortunately Lillie LOVES projects so we do most of them when Lola is napping. She is NOT such a big fan of projects. =) I am discovering, though, now that Lola is crawling, projects are getting more and more difficult because we have to pick everything up as soon as she wakes up instead of leaving stuff out and slowly finishing the project throughout the day.

    Oh my goodness how chic! I wish I had your talent - I wanted an impressive Easter table this year, but it does not look like that is happening. xo

    Did you use tea to dye those? I love the color!

      Hi Sunny - I'm pretty sure Jenni did. She's going to post tomorrow or Thursday about how she made them.

    Those are really beautiful. So classy and elegant. I'm not one either into all of the Easter colors. Last year I chose to use just one color....a soft robin's egg blue and kept it simple. Your decor is exquisite, Jennifer.

    These are fantastic. I am collecting up ideas for easter eggs that don't use dyes, and this is fantastic! Can't wait to try it here.

    Oh Jennifer I absolutely loooooooooove them!!!!!

    I too kinda really am not very whimsical with my holiday decorating, and I think your eggs here and the way you presented them is brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

    I *anxiously* await your tutorial!

    SO IMPRESSIVE!!!!
