Last week my girls & I decided that we wanted to put away the Valentines decorations & get out some Spring ones.  Well, we realized don't have any decorations for St. Patrick's Day.  Maybe I can come up with some next year.  And we noticed don't have much for just Spring in general.  We don't even really have many decorations for Easter.  Yikes!  So I decided to make a quick craft for our mantle for Easter.  Since we have a newborn & a crazy schedule around here I needed something fast & easy.
Here's what I came up with:
Easter Silhouette Canvases
These were so, so easy!  I just bought some 5x7 sized blank canvases & some Spring-colored acrylic paints at JoAnn's.  I painted the canvases, I used about 3 coats on each one so they're nice & bright.  Then I used my Silhouette machine to cut out the four different Easter silhouettes with some white adhesive vinyl.  Then after the paint on my canvases was dry I stuck the vinyl silhouettes on them.  And then I set them out on my mantle.  They stand up really well by themselves which is perfect.  
I love how bright & cheery these make our mantle!  And now we have a little Easter decor!
