I know Easter is a ways off but all the stores are stocking products now and I was in the mood to create something. I got out my supplies and loaded up the kitchen table to work on it.
I found the egg at TJ max which started the ball rolling. The basket is from Michael's and the florals that I bought for it. I always save the styrofoam to reuse. I flipped over the green piece and had a fresh side.
I took some wire and poked it through the basket to tie down the foam which I also needed to help the clay pot sit higher and for the flowers to poke into. I hot glued the clay pot to the foam.
I chose yellow and pink for my primary colors and some grassy stems. They have 40% off on all of it right now and the supplies are good.
I poked the grass stems into the center.
My initial thought was to set the egg on top of the grass but the grass became to flat and then I had a problem securing the egg so I pulled the grass stems out and hot glued the egg to the clay pot and then arranged the flowers and grass around it.
I wanted it to look like the bunny is pushing the cart through a field of grass and flowers.
I think this will be a cute centerpiece and or accent on a table.
All because I bought the egg!

So pretty, indeed dear friend. I have a pretty white basket I painted a few years ago and you are inspiring me to get to Easter, even if somewhat early.

ReplyDeleteOh dear, now I have a new project I want to do, Just than a day after I created a new spring wreath and was feeling so proud of myself. The problem will be storing it afterwards....
