Easter Tree

Ok so I saw this tree and these eggs on the Pottery Barn and PB Kids Websites. And since my law school income :) does not afford me those luxuries yet(hopefully) I decided to make my own version! I got the whole thing for less that $20! I purchased the everything at HL. All the Easter Stuff was 40% off. I bought the eggs that are on the tree plain. Then I added vinyle lettering. The eggs at the bottom I bought a bag of different sized ones and then I did what I did on my Halloween Topiary seen on Lolly Jane. I took festive napkins and modge podged them to the eggs. I love the result they look almost dyed. Sorry that my picture taking skills are not as good as my bowstaff skills but you get the general Idea! Happy Easter...a little early!

Valentine Topiary

I saw tons of the cute valentine wreaths made out of cupcake liners this year. I love them. (see here) I however, like things HUGE. I wanted a huge wreath. I could not find a styrofoam wreath big enough. So I decided to do a topiary. I used cupcake liners that I found at walmart. A wooden dowel. I found this super cute vase for 50% off at Micheals.

*Take a pencil and poked a hole in the styrofoam.
*Wrap cupcake liner around the pencil
*put hot glue in the hole
*stuff the pencil w/liner in!
*It took me 8 packages of liners
*paint the dowel
*stick it in the ball.
* pull out and put hot glue in
* put styrofoam in the the vase and put other end of dowel in
* put moss on top
