Easter Bouquet

 Just before Christmas, my friend, Shelly, gave me the sweetest little Christmas bouquet. 

 That pretty bouquet inspired me to make an Easter bouquet.

I picked up these little eggs at Michael's. They were the perfect size, but I wanted different colors and I didn't care for the metallic flecks.

 So, I painted the eggs with Dixie Belle paint using the colors Vintage Duck Egg, Daisy, Apricot, & Limeade.

 I cut wooden skewers in half and inserted them into a hole I made in the eggs using a nail.

 Once the eggs were all on the skewers, I aged them with Van Dyke Glaze.

 I saved the burlap from the Christmas bouquet, fashioned it back into its cone shape, then added twine to hold its shape.

 I stuffed the burlap cone with moss.

 Then I inserted the skewers into the moss.

 I made a banner on the computer, printed it on card stock,  and cut it like the one on the Christmas bouquet.

I find it very fitting that something from Christmas inspired something for Easter.
