diy: stones to eggs

 Flat stones have long been a canvas for crafty hands. Why not paint some up for Easter or spring and instead of covering the entire stone, paint an egg ON it.

 

Use white acrylic paint to paint your egg shape upon washed stones. Once dry, add details to Easter them up using paint pens. 

 

 

Place in a small basket with homemade grass (mine is a small rectangle of painted newspaper, folded in half length-wise then cut into without cutting all the way through) and enjoy or hide the stones for a wee twist on an egg hunt! Crafty and fun!

fun with egg cups

 I picked up these wee egg cups a few months ago with the intention of doodling on them. Thank goodness I found where I stashed them! When I was a little girl, every Easter, we decorated hollow eggs. My mother had a collection of ladies in pretty hats and oh how I adored them. Sadly, none of the ladies remain but I made up my own version using a wee bottle cap and vintage earrings. 

For my half-faces, I simply doodled with your good old sharpie pen. The felt bow-tie was glued on with e-6000 so these little pretties are not exactly washable. 

 

They do however make for a quirky egg display.
