Recycled Plastic Egg Flower Painting 

WARNING: Extremely Easy Project!

 Today's DIY will show you how to make a beautiful flower painting out of those plastic eggs that get hoarded after Easter every year.  I am in love with how posh and anthropology looking this is. I painted mine onto fabric to make into a pillow but you could add this to a canvas or even directly onto a wall.  

SUPPLIES:

• Something to paint (I did a pillow) 
• Toilet paper roll 
• Plastic egg 
• Paint (your choice of colors)

Ideas other than a pillow to paint:

• On canvas 
• A wall 
• flower pot 
• t-shirt 

Lets begin... 

Step One:

Make petals 

Just flatten your toilet paper tube down and than cut a strait line than open it up and you now have the perfect shape for a petal. 

Step 1/2: 
Open egg

This will be the center of your flower you can use either side of the egg it wont make a difference as long as it is round.



Step Two:
Dip into paint

Step Three: 

Press firmly 

First put down your circle than add as many petals as you want all the way around. 

All done! 

I added stuffing and made it into a pillow than put it into an Easter basket this year. What are you guys going to do with your recycled egg paintings?

Basket of Sunshine

Hey guys! I just want to show you a gift I gave out to one of my best friends. ITS A BASKET OF SUNSHINE! If you love pinterest as much as I do you might have noticed the boxes of sunshine people send out and I just adored them so I decided to make my own for Britt.  If you have a friend with a bubbly wonderful happy personality this is most definitely a good ideal gift for them.  

Maybe this will help give you some ideas on what to put in your own sunshine gift basket. 

So I suppose I should show you the content?

This is a handmade pillow by me! I made the fabric myself and I will be posting a DIY on how to do this yourself right away.

Paintable wall hanger

A lot of the items are bee related because Brittanys "thing" is Beeeee bold! She used it as her campaign slogan to run for a state FBLA office and I think it works rather well for her. 

Bee sharpie mug!
