This luscious basket of spring vegetables, made by shelbyweeg, makes a beautiful -- and edible -- spring centerpiece.

A vegetable tray is a lovely way to start a meal. Look closely at this one; it's the perfect meal ending. Di-r made this sweet "Veggie" Tray for some friends to enjoy with coffee. The platter is made entirely of cookies and candy -- the carrots and celery were made from spritz cookie dough; the eggs were formed from candy melts; the olives are black jelly beans, and frosting stood in for an herb dip!

CalliMakesDo made this simple spring table runner using polka-dot fabric left over from another project, then lined it with rickrack for even greater visual impact. To learn how to make your own, visit CalliMakesDo's blog.

Even the pickiest eater would love maryskillin's vegetable-shaped cakes. What would you pick from the garden first? A carrot, radish, cabbage, or peapod?

Crafter Double_Trouble was inspired by Miyako Kanamori's book, "Sock and Glove," to make this cute little bunny from a pair of gloves.

This sweet bunny hat was made from a mens' T-shirt sleeve by pumpkinpetunia. Visit her blog to learn more about this and her other favorite Easter projects.

Carting fussily frosted cupcakes to an Easter gathering can be quite a challenge, so PhotoDivaJ got creative with paper when adorning her sweet treats. She made cupcake toppers using a Martha Stewart bunny punch, and affixed them to card-stock signs stamped with an Easter message.

This newborn chick's egg is made of COE96 white glass. Her winsome yellow eyes are glass nuggets with painted pupils, and her pouting beak, glass confetti. The egg cracks, flowers, and grass were hand-painted onto the egg. Her legs are made from twisted copper wire and attached with E6000 glue, and while she is able to stand on her own, she'd prefer to be attached to a spring jacket with the pin at her back. Her creator, Nancster, says that this chick hopes to one day be invited to compete on "Dancing with the Stars."

This sweet-looking puppy nestled in a bed of spring flowers will make an even sweeter-tasting Easter dessert. Thank you, tida, for sharing your canine confection!

These exquisite eggs appear to be elaborately designed but are simply white eggs decorated with marker and beads by lmorter.

Crafter Heart2Hand2 loves having a handmade centerpiece for her kitchen table to celebrate each season. For spring, she designed this 6-by-12-inch Easter quilt table-topper, and hung it on a beachwood quilt rack stained to match her kitchen cabinets.

These ornate, colorful eggs were made by smpane.

This duck was crocheted amigurumi-style by jab47. Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed animals.
