Can We Trade?

Do you have a moment?

Go to Heart Break Kid's blog..

I can not believe she went from my lil' ol' thread eggs to those beauties!!

I love them!!!

Want to trade??

More Easter Kitsch!

Isa calls this the Bunny Santa Tree.

Me? I was inspired by the original Veruca Salt!

But Daddy, I want a goose that lay golden eggs NOW!

Gotta love it..

I was completely inspired by Love, Laughter & Decor's tutorial.

Her tutorial is perfect - so I'm not going to try to remake the wheel.

I'll just let you know how I differed.

First, I *had* to have gold eggs.

I spent a hour or so on the porch chasing these buggers with spray paint.

Um. Yeah. Plastic eggs are very light and won't sit still!

Learn from me o' crafty one.

Hot glue the eggs on the tree form first.. then spray paint.

Much, much easier and less curse words uttered.

I used a foam tree form - only because I had one kicking around in the studio.

I don't think it makes too much difference if you did foam

or a rattan one like LLD did.

And that's it for the changes!

Go check out her site for more great ideas.

And go make an egg topiary..

The Hunt

Can I tell you that I'm in love.

I was absolutely planning on selling this on Etsy.

I can't do it.

There on the bed it will reside for the Easter holiday.

Don't fret, I'm not completely selfish.

I'll be making a few more in this style as

stretched wall art or postcards.

Love, Love,Love..

Hope you do too!!

Easter Decor for less than $5!

On the CSI Project this week we were tasked

with creating a craft for less than $5.

Easy peasy!

I had all of this in my inventory room, but it will cost you less than $5 brand new.

What do you need?

*Styrofoam eggs - $2.19 for 4 here

*Colorful BUT cheap thread that you should never, ever put in your machine - .99 cents

What do you do?

Call your mama or other girlfriend for a good hour long chitty chat,

and wrap thread around the Styrofoam egg until you can no longer see Styrofoam!

Hate Styrofoam?

You can do it with last years Easter eggs.

What do you do with them?

Stack them in a super cute basket, vase, jar..you name it!

Love easy crafts - Love having money in my wallet!

And yes these were absolutely inspired by the Temari balls I did for last week's WoW!
