IT'S CRAFTING TIME!

there's something about decorating for easter that just makes me feel so happy and hopeful! walking through the warm spring rain surrounded by flowers in full bloom - ahhh! best feeling ever!
i set up our acrylic paints and brushes to decorate our white plastic eggs + paper mâché eggs in my favorite room in our house: our sunroom! this little room is so darling - it has six large windows on two walls that let plenty of sunshine in and a pair of pretty white french doors on the third wall that connects to our living room!

i just love spending time here. this is where i edit my photos and do crafts + school work with my kids. we also have our family game night here (our historic home is small, so i'm so glad we were able to fit our white table + metal chairs in this happy space)! when we move, i know i will dearly miss this room.

to put this centerpiece together i used my hobnail glasses, french square drinking bottles, florals, lambs ear branches, preserved moss and galvanized metal three tier stand. these eggs have been painted with pretty flowers! it was so fun playing around with the pieces to get the look i wanted! i used to watch my mom doing things like this while smiling and humming hymns and i definitely got my love for designing from her! and haha!! kate's reaction at seeing it was too precious!

for my entry way, i also have a bunch of these wooden eggs, which i leave unpainted, nestled in my favorite large white ceramic footed bowl for a more simple natural look!

jack wanted camouflage eggs, so we mixed three shades of green and he went to town on his eggs. kate said she wanted camouflage eggs too, but picked her own colors - purple, pink, yellow! they both created absolute masterpieces!!! if you are looking for washable acrylic paint we LOVE the kid made modern ones too!

here are the paper mâché eggs we painted white. and this adorable aluminum paint tray! don't forget the metallic paints to add accents and to paint the golden eggs!! after the paper mâché eggs finished drying, we painted flower petals on them. i penciled in petals for the kids to fill in and the look of pure concentration on their faces was just too cute! after the petals dried, we added accents like little dots in the center. i thought they came out absolutely lovely - will share more photos of them in our easter egg hunting post!
