Rabbit Under Glass

It was almost an Easter disaster of epic proportions. How is the Easter bunny supposed to deliver eggs and baskets when he's headless? Alas, it happened, at my hand, in my dining room. 

Thankfully, the headless rabbit was repaired after a few seconds in the microwave, which melted his head back to his body, and Easter was saved!

Okay. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit. And if you think I put a real rabbit in the microwave...ew.

Here's what really happened:

No real bunnies were harmed during the set up for this photo.

But, as earlier reference, I saved this bunny, put him back with his colony of fellow chocolate friends, and continued making my Easter display.

I came up with this idea after seeing jars of jelly beans on display in a store. If you could display jelly beans in a jar, why not other Easter candy? And, what if that jar was an apothecary jar?

I call this "Rabbit Under Glass."

Here's the great thing about this Easter table top display: not only is it fun to look at, but once everyone has seen it, the kids (or all of you big kids out there) will enjoy eating it. Typically, kids (and again, some of you big kids) are told "Don't touch!" Can you imagine the look on their faces when you tell them to dig into this? Beats the heck out of looking for plastic eggs filled with pennies.

And - just like everything I feature on my blog - this was super easy. Apothecary jars, Easter candy, arrange, done. Fab in a flash.

Regardless of your Easter plans, this will sweeten them right up.
