...that if you run out of storage space because of a home remodeling project, that you can turn your former Christmas tree/CNY tree into an Easter tree?
I wonder how many more holidays I can push keeping up our tree in our sunroom?
I seriously don't know where we are going to store everything that once was housed in my craft room (former storage room). Maybe Chris needs a shed? If you've been following my blog, I'm sure you aren't surprised that our furnace room/attic is filled to the rafters with Halloween decor.
Here are a few more Easter decorations, including a few craft ideas.
The Kookie Wabit (cookie jar) is one of my favorites. Although his ear has been repaired, I love his sweet face. The larger ceramic bunny was used in my Grandparent's clothing store in their window display.
For an easy table decoration, I hot glued the jellybeans to a Styrofoam cone and finished it off with a decorative ribbon on top. Aside from Easter, this would be a cute table centerpiece at a child's birthday party (it's strictly for decorative purposes only). I almost hate to admit this, but I made this Easter jellybean cone last year and put it away in storage. It's held up really well. No ants or anything...hee hee.
The flower egg is a styrofoam egg that has silk blossoms attached to it using lots of straight pins.
I want to give Martha Stewart credit for this idea, but I can't find any tutorial on her website for this particular craft. This might have been something she shared a few years ago in her magazine.
I've got all kinds of ideas swirling around in my head for Easter projects. I can't wait to spend some time in my craft room this weekend (in between cleaning up drywall dust and catching up on laundry).
I am very envious of your window seat Emma. Wish I had one, I ALWAYS am in the process of reading and that would be perfect for me. I for sure want a pic of you in it first chance. LOVE YOU PRINCESS

No way! I love, love, love your Easter tree. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fun and relaxing weekend!
Isn't Easter the best?! I love your tree and especially love your Kookie Wabit. How cute!!
ReplyDeleteI am ready for an Easter craft when you are!!
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteWell, I always do the post first, then add pics later. Just a habit left over from youbelong days, I guess. I was tired from grading this afternoon during my planning, so I did the writing portion. I will add the pictures tonight when I am at home, so check back later.
I love your Easter decor. My CNY went down last weekend and made me sad. That's why I started looking for St. Patrick's Day stuff. I found some neat craft ideas for the kids on familyfun.com to get us all in the mood to usher in Spring.
I really want to make a topiary like yours this season but with some of the foil covered eggs. Tori and her cousins love, love chocolate, so I was going to do that for them this year. Yes, they will destroy it, but just like yours, they look so pretty and inviting!
Emma will love her window seat. I have one in my dining room, and my kids love to read books from there. In fact, I have to update it to match the room now. So that is another weekend project ahead! Just way too much to do!!!
Hope you have a great weekend, and I am glad you are just about done with all your construction.
Much love,
Cindy
LOVE the tree, I am a little too attached to mine as well and would like to make it "multi seasonal"...
ReplyDeleteLove the Easter tree. I think for summer you could do a fun beach theme tree! I am going to try to get Easter stuff out tomorrow if the weather cooperates.
ReplyDeleteYou are so incredibly crafty Kim. When do you find the time?
ReplyDeleteI put all of my CNY things away on Wednesday. The house looks so empty without it.
