EGGSCELLENT IDEA!!




So I'm totally loving my latest project!!! It is for my secret scrappin' sister of course. I was really struggling with what to make her and then came across this idea at : http://www.alittletipsy.com/2011/04/diy-under-5-features_18.html , I couldn't wait to get started. I visited my local Goodwill Industries and for $3 bought the jar and candlestick holder, I already had some spray paint from a project in my daughter's room, some E-6000, a few jellybeans, some ribbon, and voila' !!











The whole thing measures 9 inches tall, it's about 4 inches wide. I did play around with the different shaped jars and sticks while in the store, but this one was our (mine and my daughter's) favorite!







So obviously I will need something to put it in and I didn't want to buy a basket....soooooo...



I bought a bag from Hobby Lobby for 99cents , I used the "CREATE A CRITTER" cricut cartridge at 6inch. The paper is a combination of Stampin' Up and some that I picked up from Joann Fabric. I used some ribbon from Joann Fabric (99 cents) to adorn the basket. I used tombo to adhere the easter grass and then hot glued the jelly beans. I took one jelly bean and dipped it in mod podge then rolled it in silver glitter to represent the prize egg!



For the back of the bag I just made an extra shadow of the bunny and then hot glued a white pom pom for the tail. I hope that you like it!! HAPPY EASTER!!!
