Thrifty Thursday Crafting

I purchased these 3 items on a recent trip to Dollar Tree.

While the bunny faces are cute,

they aren't really my thing.

A little nail polish remover made quick work of erasing most of the image.

There was still a "ghost" in the face area,

so I used the back side of the eggs.

The eggs were much cleaner,

I feel it was worth doing this step.

Paint the clay pots with any acrylic paint.

This is what I used.

It took 2 coats of paint,

followed by a light sanding to get the look I was after.

Hot glue the paper shreds around the edge of the pots 

to make a nest.

Glue the eggs into the center of the nests.

I used Thickers glitter letters by American Crafts

to spell J O Y on the eggs,

and decorated the O with a bit of excelsior and a velvet pansy.

Happy JOYful Spring!

hugs,
