Easter project

There is a crafter's blogland that is chocked full of crafting

tutorials to show us "crafty " people how to make anything.

And I do mean anything. One of my favorite blogs is :

iluvvintagescrap.blogspot.com. She makes the cutest and

most lovely projects, I have ever seen. She takes everyday

things and remakes them into beautiful creations.

I saw this egg carton idea on her blog and thought it would

be fun to make a couple of these for the girls.

Take cardboard like egg carton like below and cut it into

sections. ( I used one that held 18 eggs) and cut it into thirds.

I then painted each one a different color with acrylic

paint. These absorb the paint, so put it on thick.

After they dry, start decorating!

I painted the first one light pink, added some scrapbook

paper and then embellished with flowers, stickers and

trim.

I used a fabric glue to attach all my items.

The next was a purple shade.

The last was a dark aqua or turquoise color.

Each one is different and fits the personality of each

granddaughter.

Here is a side view of the cartons.

I used a small piece of scrapbook paper on inside of cover,

wrote a little note and decorated the corners.

I then put some shredded colored grass in each hole

and filled them with goodies.

The possibilities are endless with this project. You can

use this idea as a fun way to do a unique gift presentation

and fill with bath products, craft items ,etc...

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and are spending

it with loved ones. I'm so thankful that Jesus died on the cross

for me and many others.

Happy Easter, Cindy
