Here long stems with small flowers were placed in a vase and colored eggs were hung from the branches. Very simple but very elegant. Makes maximum impact – think of using long twigs found in your yard over the winter and spray paint all one color or a multitude of colors. Ribbons holding the eggs could be of variation of colors to provide a different look. High vibrant colored eggs could be used with pastel colored flowers/branches or vice-versa.

Different colored Easter grass could be used for both for a vibrant festive table or use natural twine colored Easter grass for a more natural look.

These would work out great in a child’s room to make books and coloring books easily accessible to little hands as well. Can be finished in a number of different ways from painting to staining. Think about final little details like deals, large nail heads or upholstery nail heads etc. Something very useful made from something free – the only cost is from your imagination of ho the finish should look like.

If you are able to wire these structures would make a great addition to your home and it would be at a great price. The second picture shows usage of two different types of mason jars being used which creates an even better presentation in my opinion. You might think that these would only work in a country or cabin decor but i think if used in even a modern home these could be a very interesting piece and conversation starter. Almost like a piece of art.

93bfdb78-1dfb-4d28-b5bb-bd292815c1c7We have all seen pine cones used in crafts and arts but did you know that pine cones can be home to little critters that you do not want in your home? Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Take your cookie sheet outside and place pine cones in a single layer. You do this outside to avoid any more time the critters have to get into your home. Take inside and put into 200 degree preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. This will also help eliminate any sap that the pinecones hold. Cool and they are not ready for your crafting. This also will make them slightly more porous so that different glues will bind better with them.
