GOOD TIMES GUIDE


Brighten settings
with blooming napkins
For a relaxed yet festive look, skip
a tablecloth and add a hint of bright
color at each setting with cloth
napkins and blooms. To make
each, fold a cloth dinner napkin
into a rectangle, then roll it into a
cone shape. Place the cone on top
of two stacked plates, then tuck in
a few fresh or faux daffodils. Tip:
If using fresh flowers, place the
stems in tiny floral water picks (like
Water Picks by Ashland, $2 for 4,
Michaels.com) for added hydration.

Say ‘welcome’ with a sunny treat spread
Greet guests with a spring-happy buffet like this one styled by party
pro Annaliese Johnson (MadeofSugarAndSpice.com) for Fun365.
com. To get the look, push a table against a wall; tape tissue-paper
flowers to the wall. Cover table with a green tablecoth; display deco-
rations and treats on top. To make these adorable chicks, press a lol-
lipop stick into marshmallow treats and dip into melted yellow candy
wafers. Add details with a toothpick dipped in orange and black
melted wafers; pop chicks in mini pails filled with faux Easter grass.

Bring out your inner artist with a fun activity
resulting in gorgeous eggs that guests can take
home as favors. Simply set out hard-boiled
eggs, crayons, pencils and cups filled with egg
dye. To create the dotted look, dye eggs, let dry,
then dip the eraser end of a pencil in the dye
color of your choice and “stamp” the shell.
