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? 

If you do this project or get inspiration for one like it I would love to see a picture of it so tag me on instagram in a picture of it @DIYNATION7797

Fancy Friday: Breath of Spring

Fancy Friday:

Breath of Spring 

Hey guys! Its fancy Friday! What did you wear? 

I know you guys are all probably mad at me because I haven't exactly been posting as much as I should have been but all of a sudden a lot happened at once very unexpectedly and I was not prepared for it but I am back I have got a ton of spring inspiration for DIY'S and I am super excited for Easter. 

Yes I am wearing pink cowboy boots with this outfit and no I am not ashamed.  I had to add my own personal touch to this outfit because it had a more modern feel than what I am used to.  I am usually all thrift and look like a total chic grandma but today I kind of sort of looked like a modern teen?



How do you guys feel about Hi-low's?  I am still not sure if I am that crazy about them but it was a forever 21 skirt I found at goodwill and at the time I thought they were great.



Yeah I really am not for sure what I am doing here.....



I did add another more "lizzy" touch by wearing a vintage hand tooled leather belt I picked up at an estate sale.

I am also curious to know what you guys are wearing for Easter?  I still have not got the slightest clue honestly.



Another lizzy-fied piece in this outfit is the necklace.  It is vintage, also something I picked up at an estate sale.  I recommended trying some estate sales out you can buy boxes of stuff for just a couple bucks!



Thanks for reading everyone! There is an Easter DIY on its way soon so keep reading :)
