Paper Straw Easter Egg Decor

You will need:

*Paper straws-Hobby Lobby

*Egg cut-out

*Paint of choice

*Rope twine

*Ribbon if bow is desired

I chose to paint my egg with the color Pink Parfait by Apple Barrel. You could sure skip this step if you wanted, however, I wanted the edges of my egg to be painted.

Next, I began gluing my straws on. I started with blue and worked my way to the top using all three colors.

Once I had all of the straws glued on I took my scissors and cut around the shape of the egg.

To give it a more finished look, I glued rope twine around the edge. I also used this twine to make a hanger for the egg once I was finished.

The last thing I did was add a bow. I simply took two different pattern of ribbons and crossed them and used a piece of jute twin to secure the middle. I added a cute little egg embellishment to the center as well.

If you didn’t want to add the twine hanger you could also use this as a shelf sitter or accent piece for a tiered tray!

Barn Wood “Hop” Easter Sign

Supplies:
*3 ft. piece of barn wood
* “H” and “P” wooden letters (Hobby Lobby)
*oval wood cut-out (Wal-Mart)
*Apple Barrel paint- I used Pink Parfait and Aquamarine
*scrapbook paper (Hobby Lobby)
*mod podge
*paint brush
*scissors
*E6000-Amazon affiliate link
*ribbon and raffia for bow-optiona

To start, I simply used my Apple Barrel paint to paint my letters. You can find the paint I used at Wal-mart. I used “Pink Parfait” for the “H” and “Aquamarine” for the “P”.

Next, I took my piece of scrapbook paper, traced my oval shape onto it, cut it out and then mod podged it onto my oval. I then like to brush a little mod podge on the top and around the edges to seal the paper down.

Next, I used E6000 to adhere my pieces to my barn wood. I used the E6000 versus hot glue so I could use this sign outdoors also. Hot glue will not not uphold outside with the varying temperatures. Keep in mind this will take up to 24 hours to cure.

To finish my sign off, I simply took a few different pieces of ribbon and made a quick bow. I found both of these patterns of ribbon at Hobby Lobby.

I am in love with how this turned out. Now to decide if I want to keep this indoors or use it to spruce up my porch. If you will be using your sign outdoors be sure to spray your sign with a polyurethane or clear coat to seal it.

DIY Easter Wreath

Who doesn’t love some easy diy holiday décor? This wreath is super cute and very easy to make! I am sharing my live video of me making the wreath as I thought it would be easier for you to watch rather than for me to try and explain. The bow is very easy to make but can be a little tricky to try and explain.

Here are the supplies I used for this project.

*Medium sized grape vine wreath from Hobby Lobby

*Easter egg garland from Hobby Lobby

*Galvanized/wood Easter bunny from Hobby Lobby

*Various Easter ribbon and burlap

*Raffia(optional)
