I know, I know…more Easter. Hey, it is coming up. Don’t you want to have something festive? C’mon, make all your neighbors jealous. 🙂

First off, an idea from I swiped from Cindi that I saw on Tip Junkie. This adorable egg wreath is so cute and fairly easy to make. Ok, it just took a little time and patience. I had a little family night and made them with my Mom and Sis.

Now for the full tutorial I’m sending you over to Cindi because she has great step by step instructions. For my two cents, I would say cutting out the cardboard circles was the hardest part. Here are a few photos I took of the process.

Thank goodness my mom the professional (ok, maybe that is a little exaggeration) bow maker was there.

One thing we did differently with the hanger was fold the pipe cleaner in half and glue it between the two pieces of cardboard for added strength to hold the wreath up.

Here we are all finished!!

Now, I had some supplies left over and could not bear to let them go to waste so I made this little flower arrangement. Cost: For me nothing. It is all leftovers or stuff I already had.

Supplies:
Pipe Cleaners
Plastic Eggs
Easter Grass
Ribbon
Vase

1. Start by bending 3 pipe cleaners in to figure 8s. I used all one color, but alternating colors could be cute too.

2. Then, lay them over each other to make a flower shape and twist around them with a green pipe cleaner for a stem.

3. Then, twist another pipe cleaner the perpendicular to the green (green vertical, middle color in this case purple horizontal) to give added stability and make the flower middles.

4. Then, make the middles by rolling the pipe cleaner up into a swirl.
5. Next, fold the green in half and wind it around itself to make it more stable.
6. Finally, fill the vase by alternating Easter grass and plastic eggs and arrange the flowers by placing them in the top. I also added a bow of some leftover ribbon to the vase.

Last, but not least, I found this cute quilted place mat at Big Lots for $3, added some ribbon, and hung it up. I love finding cheap items that make it look like I did something fancy!

I love holidays. They give you something fun to look forward to. Here are a couple of ideas I have used for Easter Decor.

This first one is sooo simple, but fun and tasty. My little sis got these tiny candy jars (I think she said from Ikea) for her wedding and did not want them so I inherited them. I fill them with candy in the colors of the nearest holiday and put them on top of my fridge for a little festive joy. You could embellish the lids if you were feeling super motivated.

Plus, then I have a yummy treat on hand and it is in a place where I determine the distribution for the kiddo. I used Reese’s Eggs, Cadbury Mini Eggs, and Robin Eggs. Your mouth is watering isn’t it?

Today I was featured on Tip Junkie for an Easter basket idea I did on my personal blog a while ago. See the Basketball hoop basket idea here. On that post it also shows the Easter Garland that inspired my next project.

I think they used some type of sewing or embroidery string, but I don’t sew, so I used fishing line.
What you’ll need:
Fishing line
Plastic eggs with holes pre-punched (I got mine at the dollar store of course)
Mechanical pencil or toothpick

All you have to do is thread the line through the eggs without getting tangled. Sounds simple right? Ya, as long as you unwind the line as you go. I took it all off my husband’s pole (with his permission) in one long string. That made it difficult to keep untangled. I used the pencil to make sure the holes were completely clear to make the threading easier.

It would be super cute on a banister with some ribbons, as you can see here. But, with my little guy that would not last 5 minutes so I put mine on top of my cabinets in my kitchen.

Do you have any cute and simple Easter ideas? Please share!!
