Easter Egg Tree Recycled From Old Easter Decorations
I had bought some Easter Egg Tree Decoration Kits on clearance a few years ago. I never really liked them, but would use them any way.
While getting out my Easter decorations I decided that it was time to throw it away. But then I thought that I always wanted a nice Easter Egg Tree. So what could I do to "doctor" this one up to make it "nice?"
I think the tree part is what bothered me the most it was multi colored, and just seemed tacky:
So I got out some white enamel paint, and painted it, leaves and all with white paint.
The decorations seemed a little plain. So I antiqued the bunnies and the chicks, glittered the eggs, and took off the strings and ribbons (because they seemed to dangle too far off the tree.)
Then I went to the craft store and found some cute white flowers with rhinestones in the middle and hot glued those to the branches. I also bought some white ribbon to tie the ornaments onto the tree.
When I was finished, the little pot that the tree came with just seemed too small. So I found a larger pot that I liked and put the tree in it. I attached the green ribbon to the pot then filled the pot with glass pebbles. I thought it turned out cute!
I saved money (by recycling) and I also have a Easter Egg Tree that I like!
I also took last year's clearance items and made them into a cute Easter Garland. See how it turned out: http://hollyshome-hollyshome.blogspot.com/2012/03/easter-egg-garland-from-last-years.html
