Hey hey!! It's finally starting to feel like Spring in Iowa. I celebrated by taking a little day trip with my Grandma, Mom, and one of my sisters. We had lunch at the cutest little cafe and then checked out a few of the local shops. I finally found a little shop that carries Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and I'm ohhhh so excited to get started on a little projects I've had in mind for a couple of months, but I'll save that for another post.
Today I'm sharing a Spring wreath I made. I was a total procrastinator on this project. I started painting the eggs, ohhhhh about three weeks ago and then lost steam. Pretty sad, right?
Ugh, am I the only one that does stuff like that??
BUT, I finished it today and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I didn't take very many pictures along the way, but it's super simple so I'm sure you can figure it out. ;)
I started with a basic grapevine wreath, three cardboard eggs, Martha Stewart craft paint, and a bag of Spanish moss.
I didn't end up using the brown paint color in this picture. I was going to use it to speckle the eggs but decided against it once I had a 'speckle fail' with an old toothbrush.
I picked up the spanish moss from Dollar Tree.
I used the blue and yellow paint from the Martha Stewart line and then mixed the two colors to create my green. I didn't end up using the brown metallic color ...
Sorry for the blurry picture here. This is a $0.49 cardboard egg I picked up at Hobby Lobby.
This is where I drop the ball on the how-to pictures. Very sorry for that :(
I think the rest is pretty self explanatory, but send me an email if you have any questions.
I'm really happy with how it turned out. So bright and Springy :) Hope you have a fantastic weekend!! See you soon.
