Modern Easter Tablescape with Printable Place Cards

Mar 04

Modern and pastel easter tablescape with text overlay: DIY Simple Easter Table Setting

Easter is one of those holidays that I love for what it symbolizes- but I haven’t decorated for in the past because all I think of is bright pastels and baskets and bunnies everywhere. Now- there’s nothing wrong with these things but they’re totally not my style. I thought it would be a fun challenge for me to take a traditional Easter tablesetting with bunnies and pastels and give it a modern twist. And I am so in love with how it turned out! I’m excited to set my Easter table this year now.

I illustrated this brush stroke bunny silhouette a couple years ago when I made this DIY bunny tea towel and then this Easter Bunny Printable. I’ve always used that design (and I still use that tea towel! I don’t know how it’s not stained yet) and wanted to try something different with it. These place cards were on my mind and I’m so glad I gave it a go. 

This tablescape is SO simple to pull together. All you’ll need to make the place cards is the printable design, scissors, and a brush pen. In the video I give some tips about brush lettering but if you are really wanting to learn- I have a whole e-course for that I think you would love!

Alright… time for the video! If you haven’t subscribed to me over on YouTube… I would SO love if you did! I’m posting DIY and decor videos over there as often as I can (aiming for once a week… wish me luck!).

Before I get into the place cards… here’s some details on the tablescape! I know… it’s not really a tablescape because I didn’t set the whole table. But just imagine it, okay? ;)

Our dining room has blues in that giant map, so I pulled out an old table runner that had that pastel blue look. This table runner is so old, you guys. I don’t even remember where I bought it. I do know that I bought it the year we got married so that thing is 9 years old now. It’s also completely wrinkly. I used to iron it everytime I would pull it out, but now the wrinkles have grown on me and I love how it adds texture. The other linen piece is the napkins. Those are DIYs also from years ago. You’ll never guess what they’re made of!

Then I added those punches of black. These punches of black are what makes this pastel tablescape modern and they tie in to the brush stroke of that bunny rabbit printable place card. I found that vase at Homesense and that bowl is actually a mortar that I usually have styled on my kitchen open shelves. I put some eggs for easter in there and some faux eucalyptus and other greenery in the vase. The faux eucalyptus is available at Michaels right now. As much as I love the real stuff… it’s not economical to have it in our house at all times- so this is a nice alternative to pull out in between.

The dishware and flatware are just our every day stuff. I’m dying to get my hands on black flatware (I’ve put in an order with my Dad who’s going to Ikea later this month!) and that would have made this place setting just that much more rad I think.

Now for the DIY Easter Place Cards!

First, you’ll need the place cards themselves. You can grab the PDF printable bunnies RIGHT HERE. As always, these are for personal use only.

Use scissors to cut out Easter bunny silhouettes for modern place setting

I printed mine off on card stock for a bit of extra weight. Then I cut them out with scissors. I chose to cut them out with a white outline around the brush strokes. You could totally cut right against the brush strokes if you’d rather.

Once they’re cut out… it’s time to letter them! I used a Tombow Fude brush pen (affiliate link) for this. I love this pen for smaller projects like place cards because you can still get the variation of a larger brush pen but it’s easier to control. In the video I do give some tips on using a brush pen if you have never tried it before but if you really do want to learn- I have a whole online course on that RIGHT HERE. I showed three different options for lettering names in the video- a simple brushed sans serif, a script (what I ended up going with) and a large simple monogram which you don’t need a brush pen for.

That’s it! Super simple to pull off but I really can’t get over how rad the black is with the pastels. I hope you enjoyed this simple Easter idea and that it’s inspired you to play with some modern touches in your Easter decor as well! If you do end up using these place cards, I would SO love to see a photo! You can email me [email protected] or tag me on social @colleenpastoor.

If you love the bunny design- I’ve used it in this DIY Tea Towel and this printable as well!

The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stink The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stinking happy! 

It’s felt like such a long time coming for such a small space. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, this space has seen new doors and hardware, new trim, new floors... twice😅, we changed the boob light to a pot light and I hated it and now it’s got the most beautiful flush mount fixture I’m in love with (thanks @mymitzi!). It finally got some fresh paint and now frames on walls and last but not least... After this weekend, the new floors look like they were here all along (no door jamb gaps!) which was the last thing really bugging me since our flood last year. 

All this to say that home takes time and sometimes getting it right might take a couple tries. Also- the spaces we don’t really think about (hallways) can totally help a house feel like home with some love (and family photos 🥰)
ps. I partnered with #mymitzi to create a tiktok for This makeover... are you following me over there yet?! I’d love if you popped over and said hi!
It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a grea It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a great use of my afternoon the other day. Did you catch the stories? These projects both cost me under $10 by using pieces I already had in my home (yay for scraps!) and one package of drawer slides).
You can find the full video about these two kitchen organization projects over on YouTube in collaboration with my friend @love_create_celebrate and her #scrapsmademodern challenge! But for now... I’m rejoicing this coffee maker is off my counter for good 🎉
How’s your January going? Full speed or are you How’s your January going? Full speed or are you taking it a bit slow too? 

I’m not going to lie, I’m easing into this new year thing pretty slowly. All my decorations are still up (we always leave them up til Ukrainian Christmas which is later this week) and I I’ve yet to respond to my emails since before Christmas 😅
I’m enjoying the slowness of it all.

This year has been one of a kind and I know so man This year has been one of a kind and I know so many people who are taking this year as the push they’ve been waiting for to start a side hustle, start an new career altogether or to just get creative about how they’re making money. So today I’m excited to partner with @kregjig to share some rad projects to make and sell this year! 
Like this rolling storage system I made for my office, that rad dollhouse and the gorgeous bath toy storage. All of these projects are things that I’d personally love to buy for our family and look like they’d be a great return on your time making them! And yes, all of them use #Kreg tools to make them easy to assemble and quick to make! Plus, they’re having a great sale on right now with deals on their K4 and K5 jigs, Rip-Cut and even a hardware jig bundle! There’s never been a better time to get your workshop set up!  #sponsored
