Sweet Ruffle

Thanks for checking out my Easter projects.

Today, I have a final one.

And I'm using these paper candy holders:

I admit, there were chocolates on these paper liners

and I finished them. Sorry, I didn't share.

But I'll share an idea on how to turn

them from blah to TADA!

Insert a lollipop, an Easter greeting and a

tiny glitter sticker and you've got yourself

a fabulous party favor!

TADA!

Have a colorful weekend and a

Happy Easter everyone!

Eggs-tra Cute

Happy Thursday!

Is this a familiar sight in your kitchen?

blah: empty egg shells and carton

Well then, turn them into TADA!

I made this bud vase centerpiece not too

long ago. Just add flowers!

Here's another idea -- dress the eggs {thoroughly cleaned}

with stickers!

Don't you love this little bunny and chick?

Lay them on the egg carton, sprinkle with

sweets and you've got a playful centerpiece.

TADA!

Easter Greetings

I really like Easter. While the celebration is not as

over the top as Thanksgiving or Christmas, I like

everything that it represents -- new beginnings,

salvation, mourning that has turned into joy,

hope, a fulfilled promise, resurrection.

It's another occasion to be thankful and

to pass on the blessings.

So today, let's create something to share.

blah: a paper bag.

Then add some glitter stickers to the mix.

TADA!: Easter greeting cards!

They are further embellished with glitter glue,

a lock of yarn and a heartfelt message.

Send these out and let other people feel

the invigorating message of Easter.

Cheery Chick

We're gearing up for Easter with a bunch

of cute & cheerful blah to TADA! crafts.

Today, we're transforming this baby:

blah: a Styrofoam cup that once contained soup.

After cleaning it up really well...

TADA!: It's a candy bowl!

The stripes are made of felt. Add a plush toy {this little

chickee came from the dollar bin} and position it like

it's hugging the bowl. Attach everything with hot glue.

Note: You might have to weigh it down if the stuffed toy

is heavier than the cup {ex. put a small bowl or

condiment dish inside the Styrofoam cup, then

add the candy.}

Use it as a centerpiece on your coffee or dining table,

make it part of the dessert spread or raffle it off to a

lucky guest {place in a clear bag, top with a ribbon,

for easy handling}.

Easter Projects

Hi and happy Monday!

This week, I have a collection of colorful projects

in preparation for Easter Sunday.

Of course, they're made from recycled goodies.

blah: a deli container saved from last night's

take-out dinner.

Clean it well & let it dry.

TADA!: An Easter basket filled with sweet treats!

The trim & handle are made of printed ribbon and

secured with hot glue. It's stuffed with shredded

pastel paper and topped with bunny chocolates.

Who can resist all this cuteness?

Have a fabulous week lovelies!

Travel Time

Hooray it's Friday!

Like me, I'm pretty sure plastic containers

are still part of your everyday.

For example, your daily toiletries:

Once consumed, you are left with empty, blah containers. I like to save them, especially the little bottles. I clean them well, label neatly and fill them up with necessities:

TADA! Items that I need for a weekend getaway. No need to buy travel size versions at the store. Just refill when running low.

Great for carry-on luggage too because each bottle contains 3 oz. of liquid or less.

Have an awesome weekend!

Bedside Essentials

It's all about plastic this week and how we can

turn them from blah to TADA!

This container once held sushi:

Without the sushi, it's so blah.

But clean it up and add some of your favorite things:

TADA! It's now a tray for your bedside essentials!
