Inspired by Easter

It's almost Easter and we are definitely feeling inspired by all the spring craft projects, delicious brunch recipes, and adorable bunny things popping up all over the place. Here are a few of our favorites from around the web. These bunny cookies created by Baked Ideas are unbelievable. Who knew easter cookies could turn into works of art! They also sell the cookie cutters so you can make these beauties at home. (via Design Sponge)

How adorable are these handmade woodland bunnies? (Especially their backsides!) Etsy seller Sleepyking knows how to keep things festive and rustic chic.

Neon dip-dyed eggs are a fresh take on an old tradition. Instructions can be found here.

We're still swooning over these amazing glitter confetti eggs from Oh Happy Day. The full tutorial can be found here.

And don't forget about the Paper Flower Wreath instructions we posted a few weeks ago! It's the perfect project to spruce up your front door, just in time for Spring!

Design: Clothesline Monkey

Artist: Eunice Moyle

Inspiration: We’ve all had moments feeling strung out or high and dry, and there is nothing so encouraging as having a friend drop us a line.

Who to send it to: One of your gang who likes to hang and monkey around, but who might need a little help getting his feet back on the ground.

Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: We got so hung up on the clothesline idea, we couldn’t quite pin down any other options.

Our favorite detail: We could write volumes about the pathos of being pinned up beside a pair of tighty-whities, but we’ll keep it brief.

Why Letterpress? It’s very chic to have laundry beautifully pressed.

Design: Retro Easter

Artist: Sarah Labieneic

Inspiration: Swingin’ sixties wallpaper, Easter egg hunts at Grandma Bianca’s wood-paneled suburban bungalow, croquet on shag Astroturf, milk-glass plates of divinely deviled eggs, crepe paper, wicker baskets, and spring!

Who to send it to:  Any of your circle of Peeps— the hippest hippity-hops or the funkiest chickens you know.

Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one:  We put all our eggs in one basket and decided to go with this most egg-cellent idea.

Our favorite details: the eggshell texture of the card stock and the robin’s egg blue hue.

Why Letterpress? We can print the prettiest pastels in letterpress!
