Designer Crafts Connection Blog Hop - Easter

Welcome to the second Designer Crafts Connection Blog Hop. This month's theme is Easter or Spring.

I do a lot of thrifting and a lot of crafting and wanted to create an upcycled Easter Egg project. Everything here is thrifted.

These eggs were created first using plastic Easter Eggs as the foundation. I hot glued on various sizes of white buttons, allowing the color of the plastic egg to show through. This is a great way to use tiny white buttons.

Next, I wrapped vintage lace around the middle and tied sheer ribbon in various shades of pastels. As a final touch, I added vintage embellishments of a rhinestone earring, millinery flowers and an old key.

These are displayed on painted wooden pieces that I thrifted here. After painting the wood I lightly sanded them to give a more distressed appearance.

I have been creating all kinds of unique Easter Eggs for the past few weeks so please check out my Easter {Sewing} Basket and Tissue Paper Eggs before continuing through the blog hop using the Designer Crafts button on the right. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoyed this project.
