What The Easter Bunny Left Behind!

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter! Just a little late posting my Easter decorating. By taking a few little items aside, we are springing forward to Spring!

 

The moss or fungus in the bunny's basket I found on the trunk of my cypress tree. It is unusual, but loved the look.

These eggs I like to bring out every year that I made by using tissue paper and "Mod Podge". I also glued the tissue paper around the candle. (Don't throw out your tired old candles. I had some that were given to me that had faded so always store your candles separated from one another...I use tissue paper.)

I discovered these ceramic eggs at Hobby Lobby a while ago and was surprised at how real they look. (They are located on the jar/bottle aisle.)

And of course, I had to get in on the "Peeps" explosion and buy me a package. I gave him a little sour gummy worm and stuck him in a "seed starter pot",

(set of 12 at The Dollar Tree.)

Happy Easter!

Spring it on!

Ok, Spring has already sprung and Easter is around the corner, so gather up your eggs and ideas to bring out some cheer and leave the cold winter behind.

The candle was made from sheet music. I just cut to size and overlapped a little and used mounting adhesive tape (tape used to mount pictures in scrapbooking), however next time I might use rubber cement to get a better seal at the seam. I lit the candle and let it drip a little to give it a special touch ( A little advice: the candle is for aesthetic use only, do not use the candle to burn later because the paper will probably ignite and you do not want that to happen!)

 

I love to use twigs and old vines from not only my backyard but from family, friends and neighbors too. (A little advice: keep a small pair of garden clippers in your car because you never know where you might be and see that perfect twig or vine to clip.)

The wire purse was my grandmother's and I will cherish forever. It had tulle in it and a small satin ribbon on top. I just updated it by filling with moss and adding a little bracelet.

With so many ideas to decorate eggs, this is just one simple way. I blew the raw eggs out to make them hollow. I had some pretty floral tissue paper that came with a roll of wrapping paper. I cut the flowers out individually and put them in place and painted Mod Podge on the flowers. After it was dried, I painted the entire eggs with Mod Podge.

Happy decorating!
