Cupcake Corsage
Create clever bows to finish off your gift boxes using paper cupcake liners. Pinch the liner in the middle from the underside, and pull forward to make a bloom in the shape of a cone. Twist the end to form a stem. Repeat three or four more times, and tape the blooms together to form a flower. Fold green liners flat to mimic leaves.

Deggorating
Try your artistic skills with this elegant but easy egg-decorating tip. Choose a color palette, and paint hard-boiled eggs with acrylic craft paint. Immediately after brushing on the paint, roll the eggs in a bowl of glitter. Set aside to dry on wax paper. Arrange in a bowl or on a tabletop nestled in paper grass.
Glorified Goat Cheese
For a quick and easy spring appetizer, simply cut a goat cheese log into 1- to 2-inch rounds. Roll the sides of goat cheese in chopped fresh dill, and top with cracked black pepper. Serve with a variety of crackers.
Eggstra-special Eggs
This presentation of leftover Easter eggs is sure to impress your family or guests. Cut the top off hard-boiled eggs horizontally one-third of the way down from the pointed top, and cut a small slice off the bottom to level the eggs. Carefully remove yolks. Cut a few more eggs horizontally into slices, and remove their yolks. Use the yolks to prepare your favorite deviled egg recipe. Spoon the mixture into a zip-top plastic bag, and snip a corner of the bag to pipe the yolk mixture into the eggcups. Top each with an egg slice, and finish with another dollop of the mixture on top. Garnish with oregano.
Seasonal Stamps
Package your party favors to make a lasting impression. Themed stamps and ink from craft stores work perfectly on paper bags, takeout boxes, and these white goody containers from Wilton®.
