In total I spent $4.00 at the dollar tree for two coordinating projects
The first is the EASTER EGG TUTORIAL (complete details)
I wrapped the eggs in tissue with glue and then glittered them to look like this
And then there is the candles...
I had a few emails about the candles on my mantle and while I intended to do a "how to" later this week I decided that I would do one today in case y'all want to make these for Easter!
This is a SUPER EASY project that I was inspired to create by my friend Cha Cha...
I went to the dollar tree and picked up two "church candles"
I had some tissue paper from THIS project leftover
I measured out the paper so that it would go around the candle evenly
Spread on some mod-podge, rolled the tissue paper around, smoothed out the wrinkles and let it dry!
Placed the candle on my candlesticks and tied a bow!
Easy peasy!
So the
Eggs were a buck
The tissue was a buck
Two church candles were a buck each
TOTAL: 4.00!
Thanks for the love, I think your candles are just the cutest and the fact that they match you eggs, what could be better.

ReplyDeleteLove those! I had wondered where you got them.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! There are so many cool tissue paper designs that I could see using on the candles. The paper you used is a great paper for Easter.

ReplyDeleteWOW -- $4.00????? The whole mantel looks so festive. You are really putting me in the spring mood. What a great idea to cover the eggs with the paper and glitter and then display them in the glass vase. It really is a BIG impact for a very small price. Thank you for linking to the Boardwalk Bragfest.
