Four Easter Projects

Hey guys! I’ve been busy working on several projects, but none photographed to share today. I’m working on an ice cream party, handmade blog business cards, a couple of recipes, and two Easter crafts that I’ll share over the next few days.

In the meantime let’s take a look back on a couple of Easter projects from last year.

I may have had a slight obsession with Peeps last year. I found an unopened package in the back of a cabinet yesterday. Which means you may see another Peeps craft soon. :)

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll be back tomorrow with a new tutorial.

Moss Butterfly Wreath

We all love pinterest right? I know I do! It’s a great place to be inspired and find amazing ideas. My problem with pinterest? I spend more time on the site than actually creating. I have over 1,300 pins yet have only recreated a couple of projects from it. Can anyone relate?

You may have noticed the moss wreath hanging from a mirror in my Living Room Makeover post. Well this is a pinterest inspired project I can now check off my list! My inspiration came from Tatertots & Jello. I remember seeing it on her site last year and I recently came across a pin of it. It’s the perfect Spring wreath for my simplistic style. I decided to take the wreath off the mirror and hang it on our front door. I love the way the white butterflies stand out against the dark door.

I forgot to take a picture of my supplies but I used a sheet of moss, foam wreath form, hot glue, and white butterflies to create my new Spring wreath. The butterflies can be found in the wedding greenery aisle at Micheal’s.

To make the wreath I cut the moss sheet into strips wide enough to cover the wreath form. Cutting the moss into strips made it easier to work one section at a time. Several glue sticks later my wreath was completely covered.

The butterflies had long wire stems that I cut down to an inch and a half long.

I then added a teal satin ribbon and hung it up. It was super simple to
make! Now maybe if I stay off pinterest long enough I’ll have more
projects to share over the next few days. ;)
