Let's Make a Butter Lamb! Make it for your Easter Celebration!

Описание: Make your very own Butter Lamb!! This super cute butter lamb will be the centerpiece of Easter table!
I know I usually do pottery tutorials but I love all things handmade and when I first discovered butter lambs I knew had to figure out how to make my own.

Here is a little history of the butter lamb. The Easter butter lamb tradition made its way from Eastern Europe to America with immigrating Catholics. Originating in areas with strong Eastern European connections like, Milwaukee, Michigan, Illinois and New York.

The lamb has a very significant meaning, it is a reference to one of the most well-known lines in the New Testament, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." The lamb, in the simplest terms, represents Jesus Christ who died for our sins.

Here is what you will need to make your own butter lamb:
2 sticks of cold butter
2 whole cloves
Ground cloves or cinnamon
A plate to serve the Butter Lamb on
Butter knife
Garlic Press or Potato Ricer
Toothpick
Paper Towels
