I’m all about holidays.

But honestly, I don’t decorate too much for any of them just because it can be a large undertaking for such a short amount of time.

Instead, I love the idea of creating small elements with a holiday flair that you can use repeatedly but still make the space yours.

To give you an idea of how to create a modern, gender-neutral atmosphere for some upcoming get-togethers, Brittni 

And I teamed up with Fossil to share our take on a simple Easter gathering and DIY Leather Chargers (as just one of the many handmade elements!) alongside some of our Houston friends.

In lieu of traditional Easter items, we opted to add in little nods here and there with ombre egg macarons, unexpected dip-dyed egg colors as table accents, simple DIY bunny tail drink stirrers, and gummy fried eggs as party favors.

In case Easter isn’t your thing, we have plenty of other ideas for you, too, with spiked grapefruit lemonade cocktails, DIY leather chargers, DIY grid print runners, and LOTS of other goodies.

Cause you know; we always have to have more than one DIY around here!

We wanted the table to be layered and gender-neutral. So Brittni made an awesome DIY grid print table runner to pair with the DIY leather chargers and dark linens.

Also, I’m a 15 on a scale of one to ten on being obsessed with this pale blue clutch, that color, though!

And if you’re still searching for additional inspiration for your table runners, why not take a look at this post too?

It’s chock-full of creative ideas to help you spruce up your dining decor!

DIY Leather Chargers

Materials and tools needed:

Soft leather (so it’s easier to cut with standard scissors)

Wood rounds

Spray adhesive

Scissors

Leather beveler (optional)

How to make DIY Leather chargers:

1 — Spray the spray adhesive to the back of a wooden round and let it set for a few seconds to become tacky.

2 — Then, lay it flat on the back side of your leather piece. Flip it over and press firmly, ensuring the leather is applying smoothly to the wood.

3 — Let the adhesive set for several minutes before trimming the rest of the leather away from the wood round.

You can use a leather beveled to clean up the edges of the leather to make it, even more, put together, or you can leave it more natural without it.

Easter Dessert Ideas

To go along with the galaxy-dyed Easter eggs, I painted the egg-shaped macarons to fit with the theme in a subtle ombre of black, red orange, mint green, and pink.

For an inexpensive serving board idea, I displayed them on a rectangular mint green ceramic tile.

  1. I love this so much, Ash! It is definitely the classiest Easter party that ever was! And those pies?!? I had this resolve to start working out and then I saw the pies. Resolve –> out the window.

    1. They’re just laser cut wooden letters from a craft store! Brittni has all of the details for those settings on her blog post! :)

  2. I love your style, very relaxed and classy. With way too many bins of holiday decorations in my hoarders bin, I also love your idea of just giving a simple nod to a holiday. Makes perfect sense and saves time, money, and sanity. Thank you.
