Peep Basket Door Hanger

Easter is right around the corner and as sad as I was to take down my 

gorgeous shamrock wreath. I created another colorful one to take it's place.

What Easter is complete without peeps. I personally love the bunnies

 better then the ducks. They are just too cute for words.

To make this peep basket you will need: a couple colors of bunny peeps, 

1 rectangle of green floral styrofoam, colored easter grass, plastic eggs, 

skewers (bamboo sticks), basket and variety of colorful ribbon.

Cut your floral styrofoam in half and place into basket.

Stuff your grass into the basket next. You will notice my grass isn't shiny, 

I have the crinkled paper kind.

Take you peep and poke a skewer into the bottom of it.

Now poke through grass into foam and arrange like you would flowers. 

Make sure you put them in different angles and heights. 

Once you are happy with your arrangement, place (or glue) a couple

 plastic easter eggs around base. Finish off by wrapping ribbon around

 basket and tying off with a fun bow. hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Price breakdown:

1 package each of pink, yellow & purple peeps Walmart: $3.24

basket (clearance area) Hobby Lobby: $2.99

Plastic Eggs Dollar Tree:  $1.06

Wooden Skewers & Ribbon (already had): $0.00

Total:  $7.29

Happy Easter!!

Purse Upcycle Part 1

My favorite purse is finally falling apart enough that I have to get a new one. 

I was having a hard time just tossing out my beloved purse. 

So I have decided to take this opportunity to upcycle it into other things.

My first project is turning the handles into flowers for my hair.

So I cut off the handles , removed the buttons (which were from a prior project where I fixed the handles months ago). Then cut the ends off.

Use tweezers or your fingers, grab the core and pull it clean out.

Cut notches into the handle roughly 1/2" apart.

To sew the flower. bend over one of the ends and start stitching it from seam to seam.

continue to turn and stitch until you get to the other end.

   The finished flower. I think it is fantastic.

Happy sewing!
