Modern Easter Eggs in Graphic Patterns, Gold, and Navy https://www.champagneandsugarplums.com/modern-easter-eggs-in-graphic-patterns-gold-and-navy/ Fri, 26 Mar 2021 18:50:00 +0000 http://192.168.0.28:8010/?p=1023 One of the most enduring Easter traditions, painting eggs is a always great family fun! These eggs usually end up with a typical look – pastel colours in abstract patterns, eggs dipped in dye, maybe some India ink. But becoming more and more popular are new and unique versions of the traditional eggs. Bold colours, stamping, metallics, colour-blocking….the creativity is really infinite. So we’re throwing our hat in on this Easter décor trend with some modern Easter eggs in graphic patterns, gold and navy – a fun update for the most traditional of Easter decorations. This blog post may contain affiliate links. What does that mean? We may get a small commission if you make a purchase using our links, which helps us to keep posting new holiday content every week. What You’ll Need: Eggs Spray paint Gold, white and navy paint Brushes Stamps Ink pad Spray paint some eggs in blue and leave some white. The blue will take a few coats so patience is key here, be sure to let them dry completely between layers. We have a lot of snow right now (and it wasn’t too cold out, spray paint doesn’t like the cold) so we used it as a stand to hold up our eggs, but a block of Styrofoam will work too. Use an ink pad to stamp multiple pictures all over the some of the eggs. When stamping, gently roll the stamp onto the egg, this will help leave a full image and stop the stamp from slipping. Do half the egg, let dry, and then do the other side. Paint colour blocks in white or blue onto the eggs and let dry. Add gold to the eggs in various shapes and stripes. Display the Easter eggs in a vase, terrarium, or bowl and then let your modern Easter decorating begin. Happy Crafting! For more modern Easter inspiration certainly check out our Carrot door hanger or find inspiration with Easter decorating ideas here.

How to Make a Succulent Moss Wreath – Easter Decoration Idea https://www.champagneandsugarplums.com/how-to-make-a-succulent-moss-wreath-easter-decoration-idea/ Mon, 22 Mar 2021 20:25:04 +0000 http://192.168.0.28:8010/?p=1719 This week we have a designer Easter decoration idea, something that looks like it was bought from HomeSense or Pottery Barn but an easy DIY!

We found it easiest to go slowly, laying the moss along the foam and securing it with the green thread little bits at a time, using the glue gun is certainly useful.  Once you have placed and secured the moss, all thats needed is to arrange flowers, succulents and Easter decorations.   What you need to make a DIY Moss Wreath: Foam wreath Moss ribbon Thin green thread Artificial succulents Artificial flowers Easter decorations (bunny faces, eggs or chicks) Ribbon Hot glue gun Floral foam Floral wire How to Make a Succulent Moss Wreath – Easter Decoration Idea Firstly, wrap the foam wreath with moss ribbon, one layer at a time. Use green thread and a glue gun to secure the moss in place.   Secondly, add the ribbon by wrapping it around the top of the wreath. Wrap it about two to three times to create a thick, secure ribbon accent.  Cut it when you are happy and glue gun the end the back of the wreath.   Next, cut a piece of the floral wire to secure the floral foam to the wreath, using the glue gun to help secure it. Place it slightly off centre. Now, begin to add the flowers and succulents to the wreath by using the glue gun.  Some flowers and succulents will have wire attached, use this to stick them into the foam and use the glue to secure them.

How to Make a Pretty Pastel Mini Egg Easter Topiary https://www.champagneandsugarplums.com/how-to-make-a-pretty-pastel-mini-egg-easter-topiary/ Mon, 27 Apr 2020 21:33:58 +0000 http://192.168.0.28:8010/?p=1099 Spring has officially arrived and we couldn’t be happier! Spring brings new crafts, new recipes, new holidays and Easter. We’re getting a head start this year by making this pretty pastel mini eggs topiary. Being made with mini eggs, its a treat for your eyes and your sweet-tooth. We snuck more than one mini egg while putting this project together! Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. There may be a small commission made by our recommendations, and/or link to products or services mentioned on this website. Your purchase will help us continue to bring you amazing content, step-by-steps and product reviews. What you’ll need: Small clay pot Acrylic paint Paint brush Small Styrofoam ball Paper straw Easter ribbon Hot glue gun and sticks A little bit of Spanish moss Floral foam Utility or craft knife A few bags of mini eggs Dry-brush the acrylic paint onto your clay pot. To get this effect, dip a small amount of paint onto your brush and then dab off most of that paint onto a paper towel before using small, quick brushstrokes onto the clay pot. Using the knife, cut your floral foam down to fit inside the clay pot. It’s good if the foam is slightly larger than the pot so that when you push it in it fits snugly inside. Then push the paper straw into the Styrofoam ball to form the topiary base. Start gluing the mini eggs onto the Styrofoam ball and continue until you cover the entire ball.  Put the hot glue onto the eggs instead of the foam so the foam doesn’t melt. Once all the eggs are attached, push the paper straw into the floral foam that inside the clay pot. Finally, cut a piece of ribbon and tie it around the paper straw to complete your Mini Egg topiary. We hope you loved our How to Make a Pretty Pastel Mini Egg Easter Topiary tutorial. Happy Crafting! And if you’re looking for some more Easter decor, certainly check out our Punny Easter Sign.

Sew randomly spaced lines in different lengths on the carrot with the embroidery thread and needle. Stencil the words on the plaque and sure to paint one letter at time and let dry between each so the paint doesn’t smudge. Cut lengths of green yarn, you’ll need about eight or so. Use the hot glue to attach one end of all the yarn strings to the centre point of where the carrot will be and then fan out the yarn strings and use a small dot of glue to secure them which will make the carrot’s leaves. Glue the carrot in place. We hope Easter sign this brightens your weekend. Happy Crafting!
