Easter Egg Tree Centerpiece
Hi Everyone!
On i of my recent visits to a thrift store, the colorful displays on the Spring/Easter aisles totally got me in.
I went looking for something cute to purpose during Easter. There were lots of eggs, baskets, books, only for to a greater extent than or less argue what actually spoke to me were a duo of bunny figures, a laid of Easter cookie cutters in addition to the ii sets of wooden ornaments yous come across inwards the painting demo below.
They stayed on transcend of my dining room tabular array for close a calendar week until I lastly decided on using them the "normal" way, on an Easter tree ;)
Well, an Easter tree where existent egg shells are the homes to all of the tiny rabbits in addition to birds in addition to footling penguins that came inwards my ii dollar sets, in addition to that's close the sum toll for this projection if yous plow over to pick out all of the other materials equally I did.
☐ Egg shells
☐ Acrylic Paints
☐ Cardboard paper(two missive of the alphabet size pieces)
☐ Cardboard underground (from wrapping paper)
☐ Candle holder
☐ Decorative paper
☐ Scissors
☐ Hot gum gun
☐ Sprinkles, moss, or colored rice to purpose equally a filler ;)
I'd been collecting the egg shells for quite a fleck now. My boy happens to honey a Winter soup where the eggs pick out to live sprinkled from those tiny holes. So, they were dry out in addition to develop to use. I also used to a greater extent than or less one-half shells.
Enlarge the holes on the egg shells for the pocket-size figures to gibe in. Color the within in addition to the exterior a unlike color. White egg shells would live better. I had to apply 3 coats of acrylic pigment on the outside.
For the stand, yous tin detect the 3 silhouettes HERE in addition to HERE. Trace them onto the cardboard in addition to the decorative paper, cutting them out in addition to gum them together. Two pieces of the wrapping newspaper underground were cutting at 2¼" in addition to i at ¾", covert those alongside pieces of decorative newspaper too.
Long pieces of the decorative paper, solely ¼" width, were also cutting in addition to hot glued to the border of each platform, equally yous tin see, they brand a difference. Use hot gum to seat together the whole stand.
Add the shells, in i trial again using hot glue.
Use to a greater extent than or less filler, sprinkles or moss, I didn't pick out whatever of those at hand, that's why I used greenish colored rice to convey the pocket-size figures popping out the shells.
