Vintage Jello Mold Centerpiece for Easter
For this project, I began with a very chippy board from my workshop.
The chippier the better!
I found it on the beach a while back, it may have even been part of a boat after the hurricane we had here.

I love all the chippiness but I wanted to wax the piece so the chips wouldn't get all over my house.
I used a white wax by Miss Mustard Seed then buffed it with an old shoe shine brush.
The next step was similar to the speckled egg bowl I made recently.
I used a blue spray stain then rubbed it into the white wax to give my chippy board a blueish tint.
Next, I attach the jello cups to the board by screwing through the holes I had drilled in the bottom of the cups.
I filled each cup with crinkled brown craft paper.
I added faux flowers around the cups with a few drops of hot glue.
When it was finished I filled the cups with speckled eggs.
My chippy Spring table centerpiece was now ready for the Easter table.
And... I realized that this chippy board fit perfectly inside this metal basket on my coffee table too.
These cute little chocolate bunny molds look right at home here too.
Happy Spring!
