Handmade Easter Egg Cherry Blossom Tree

This is my adaptation of  Joann's Beautiful Sakura Easter Egg from the original blog post at Craft Passion.

She has a wonderful detailed tutorial for this DIY Sakura Easter Egg,  Thank you!

A Variety of Handmade Easter Eggs

I used the 2 piece plastic eggs I found in my attic, but the dollar store has this for cheap if you don't have any. 

Egg #1

 I used Pebeo paints and dripped different colors down the sides egg. Of course I did the two sides separately so it would stay put, no balancing acts here...lol

Front side

 Back side

Egg #2

I wrapped & glued (Ilene's tacky glue) variegated yarn around a plastic egg.

Egg #3 

I found a bag of Styrofoam eggs (I think at Hobby Lobby or Michael's, I like both stores equally). I decided to paint a metallic purple color on the entire egg just in case the sequin didn't cover the white Styrofoam so it didn't look weird if it showed thru. Let it dry. Then used sequin and sequin pins in random places covering the entire egg. 

Egg #4, may favorite. :o)

Easter Egg Basket - Silhouette Cameo Project

I cut out my basket using paper and my Silhouette Cameo machine. Then glued down a floral foam piece. This will let me stick my eggs in so they will be propped up above the basket & sit still. Next added some pink & white paper curls instead of grass...lol

I put all my handmade Easter eggs in the basket added some silly pencil craft I bought at Michael's and there it is, My Easter Basket!

Handmade Christmas Tree Decorations

I decided to give a try at making a cute hand crafted Christmas tree. I'm not really sure where the idea came from but during a long winded trip to Michael's and finding Styrofoam cones on the shelf, it came to me. 

The Tree on the Right is made from Yarn and wound up to the top. I love the sparkles. The cross is obviously a charm I found in the jewelry making section, just need to clip the top silver band off. 

The red & purple trees I have a few more pictures how to make it which I will post next.

My most favorite part of making these tree's is when my Godson who is 8 years old, told me " Nannie, I really like the decorations on the table, they are really nice." (He was referring to my red & yarn tree's, I gave the purple mini tree to a friend) My heart melted, what a sweet, kind, & loving child!

Can't wait to make more!

Felted Monkey Craft

Got this adorable Felted Monkey kit from Michael's Arts & Crafts (one of my favorite places...big smile) I love Hobby Lobby too but there isn't one close to me :o (

Anyway, the monkey took a bit of time to complete. I think I used way to much wool on the limbs because they look too thick/big. This was my second felting craft so I'm cutting myself some slack. No matter, the monkeys cute & I had fun anyways.

Koala Bear Silhouette craft

Yet another cutie silhouette creation. There is seriously not enough hours in the day for crafting.

I love you sew much silhouette craft

I made this for my fabulous sister! It was so fun & came out super cute. She's super crafty & my partner in sewing/embroidery crimes...lol
