Faux Egg Vase Filler

Everyone seems to be doing it this spring - making Pottery Barn Knockoff egg vase filler.  Here is my version.

I started off with some Dollar Tree foam eggs - the glittery ones with ribbons for hanging.  I got two dozen ($2).

 

Then I went through a very scientific process involving dipping the eggs into sample jars of paint and hanging them on unbent wire clothes hangers across our step ladder (with cardboard underneath to catch drips).  I bought the blue but had the cream and brown/tan on hand already.

Two coats later, I cut off the ribbons, put all the eggs in a box, and flicked some brown craft paint on them (using a little paint brush and my finger - it was messy).  

Voila!  Faux egg vase filler.  Not too bad for $5 in supplies.  I think they go just fine with my larger Kroger eggs and my thrift store apothecary jars and bunny.

Don't worry about the paneling - it's going . . . hopefully soon.

Outdoors

I am working on several different projects right now - finishing a deacon's bench, the second baby quilt, prep work for my Little One's Easter suit and my Easter dress, curtains, etc. . .  Lots of projects.  But since I don't have any interesting photos of them, here are some random ones.

Clothes on the line for the first time this year

They're not great pictures or anything, just snapshots of a nice day outdoors.  I'll try to have more projects done soon. :-)
