For everyone visiting, thanks for coming by. As you all remember I decided to take part in Living With Lindsay's $5 Spring Challenge.
The official rules were:
Only use items from The Dollar Store, Dollar Tree, Dollar Spot at Target and the like. You can use whatever you have on hand at home to make a Spring decor item for your home.
So here goes.
I bought some speckled eggs and some dried spanish moss from the dollar store for 2 buckeroos.
I used glitter, eggs from the fridge, an egg decorator kit I found in my craft closet from a couple years ago, my favorite cake plate, and some ribbon I already had on hand.
So for 3.47 (including price of real eggs) I created a look that suites Easter and Spring just right. I love how it looks like a terrarrium, and makes our kitchen pop with a little unexpected color. Not to mention with the lid on it, there's a certain kitty who can't bother it. Believe me, she tried while I was putting it together. She ate and picked at like 1/2 the bag of moss, which I had to chase across the floor later.
So what do you think? Good job? Bad job? Anything you would change? I can always use suggestions.
Did y'all catch those awesome sillouettes in the background of Maggie and Pickle? Love them!
What a great project! You are a clever and crafty girl. Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks better under glass. I wouldn't change a thing!
ReplyDeleteLove the colorful egg finishes. I like the natural looking ones too that I've seen all around but something about the colorful ones just say FUN!
ReplyDeleteIf, I were to add anything, it would be a tassel to the top knob of the glass dome! I think that it would work with ribbons too if you don't have a tassel. (I don't have any, but I love them when I see them!)
