My Arts & Crafts Easter Brunch Table
My inspiration for the table was kraft paper. It's one of my favorite papers and we use it all the time at our house. We use it to wrap presents, for my daughter to scribble on, paint on, and draw blueprints for her elaborate inventions. I also use it as any sort of messy, sticky craft project backdrop so my floors don't get ruined.
I love how it looks. It's plain but tough, and screaming out to be embellished!
My first purchase at Target... two rolls of kraft paper. I wanted my table to be kid-friendly, fun, casual, and colorful.
I also bought a lot of other fun stuff on my shopping spree. I strung plastic Easter eggs on wire, then inserted the wire into my kraft paper and coiled it behind so it would stay put.
I also used the plastic Easter eggs to decorate the kids' chairs.I added stripes of colored tape to the kraft paper to make it more festive, and also put out a bucket of markers for the kids to go to town.
I asked my friend Michelle from Printabelle to design a set of free Easter printables. I love what she came up with, and we'll be giving the set away on our blog tomorrow.All the little decorations, like these cute chick eggs and the paper flowers I used on the banner, were from Target, too.
For food, I wanted to keep it simple. We used our recipe for mini banana muffins. I also served yogurt parfaits, mini pancakes, and of course... ...cupcakes! I embellished them with printable cupcake toppers and Easter nonpareils. Plus, I couldn't do Easter without flowers, so I put a bouquet of fresh baby roses into my new white pitcher.
For favors, I embellished these wooden boxes and stuffed them with yummy Easter chocolates.

{RECIPE} Mini Banana Muffins
Yesterday I styled an Easter brunch table (that will be up on the blog tomorrow).
I thought what's Easter brunch without some delicious muffins! So here's my mini banana muffin recipe. Thank goodness this recipe makes a lot, because I promise you will not be able to eat just one!
MINI BANANA MUFFINS
Ingredients:
Makes 6 dozen mini-muffins or 1 dozen large muffins
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 sticks (1 cup) melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 ripe bananas
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line muffin pan with paper muffin cups
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon) in a large bowl and set aside.
Melt the butter and let it cool. If you want some extra flavor, you can brown the butter.
Add the melted butter to a bowl with the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth -- about a minute. Mash the bananas and stir them in. If your bananas aren't soft, you can just put them in the microwave, one at a time. Cook on high for 30 seconds, then turn it over and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add the mixed dry ingredient to the wet, and stir until it just comes together.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three quarters full.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Turn the pan once to help ensure even cooking.
They look great by themselves or you can dust them with powdered sugar.
