Mini Easter Eggs

 My tree with mini and regular eggs.  It looks more even now, but I may have to just attack the tree with mini eggs.

This is the first year I have gotten into Easter decorations and I am pretty hooked.  I'm not sure if it's the past snow storms and the never ending winter that are making me love the lovely and lively pastels that are associated with Easter.  I purchased the above white Easter tree at Michaels and was slightly disappointed with when I hung my regular Easter eggs on the tree.  It just looked too heavy and awkward.  Thus, I wanted to purchase mini  eggs at the store but opted out to make my own.  As per my usual crafts, the following craft is super easy and pretty affordable.  

If you are interested in how I created my mini eggs please view the YouTube video clip.

Materials:

clay

thin ribbon

glitter/paint

bamboo skewers

glue/mod podge

Estimated Cost:

$10 dollars (unless you're a crafty sista then you already own 90% of these materials-- your cost is about $2 dollars)

The great thing about this craft is that you can re-use it every year!  Why waste money on decorating eggs that will only last for a few days or for one holiday, when you can invest on some that will last?  Another perk about this craft is that it won't break! It's made from soft clay, so even if you drop it, it will not shatter or break!  Awesome!

Something new on YT

So it's time I talk to you guys about something serrrrious.  I know I'm on YT talking about makeup and hopefully I don't come off as too superficial.  It's pretty hard not to!  However there is more to life than makeup.  I know there are thousands of "gurus" on YT that do makeup...but there aren't many of them that advocate anything other than cosmetics.  I mean don't get me wrong, the gurus are mainly there just to show off their makeup skills, but it would be nice to see something different once in a while.  It would be interesting to hear the big gurus talk about semi-serious issues or show more of their personalities.  Am I the only one that feels this way? 

I know there are girls out there that just want to watch their daily dose of YT makeup and that's all folks!  Personally, I'm starting to get bored with the YT make-up scene.  I'm on the search for interesting and creative girls and/or boys on YT that will inspire me and surprise me.

Chicka Chick Chick

By now all of you know I'm into holiday decorations.  I've gotten a head start on Easter decorations.  I purchased this beautiful tree at Michaels for only $10 dollars.  It was too cute to pass up.  Then my mom helped me decorate the gate around the tree with chocolate eggs, bunnies and pink chicks.  Doesn't it look adorable?  It's our coffee table decoration at the moment and for the time being, no one is allowed to take chocolate from under this tree.  It will mess up the cuteness!

 

The tree looks a bit awkward with the large Easter eggs, but not to worry! I am in the process of creating smaller eggs and I will have a craft tutorial up on it for all of you very shortly.
