I’m so excited to be a new contributor here this year. Tatertots & Jello was one of the first blogs I followed! So it’s such an honor to be here, sharing some fun craft ideas. Have you fallen full-force into Spring?

We just started last week with Spring and Easter crafts and decor and I have to say – I’m loving it! All the bright colors just adds a bit of cheeriness to any space. And this project is no exception – Easter Egg Vases!

At first I was going to paint mason jars with these Easter Egg inspired patterns and colors (because who doesn’t love mason jars?), but when I happened upon these stemless wine glasses, I knew they were perfect for this craft! Aren’t they the perfect little egg shape? So I grabbed three from my local dollar store and got to work. Let’s go over the details…

Supplies:

Stemless wine glasses

Pastel paints

Paint brushes and foam pouncers

Natural filler

Floral stems

Directions:

• First I painted two layers of paint for a good level of coverage on the glasses.
• Once dry, I simply added “Easter Egg” patterns with paint brushes and foam pouncers.

Once the pattern was dry, I filled my vases with natural filler and faux succulent stems. I love how bright and cheery they turned out!

Such an easy project to take on but it has such an impact! Right now, as we’re transitioning to Spring and Easter decor, I’m so happy to have these little guys sitting on our breakfast nook table. So what are you waiting for? Head down to your local dollar store and pick up some stemless wine glasses and make your very own! This could also be a fun project for your older kids – or you could even pick up plastic stemless wine glasses and make some with the little ones! The possibilities are endless, but I guarantee you’ll be happy you did.

Now antlers and deer are all the rage this year, so it just seems fitting that we add a little more reindeer into the holiday mix, right? We’ve done a couple of reindeer projects already, this little Glitter Reindeer Ornament from our Trim Your Tree handmade Christmas Ornament series and the big guy, Rudolph the Glitter Reindeer! So when I was thinking of what I should share with all of you – I thought we’d share a new little twist on Rudolph with this Moss Covered Reindeer!

Supplies:

Square of styrofoam

“Reindeer” or spanish moss

Hot knife

Glue gun/glue

Twine

Directions:

• Draw or trace a reindeer shape onto your styrofoam square.
• Using a hot knife or other cutting tool, cut along your trace lines until your reindeer shape is completely cut out.
• Using hot glue, glue patches of the moss to sections of the reindeer until it is completely covered.
• Let it dry then you’ll want to pick up your moss-covered reindeer and shake a bit so that the loose moss comes off.
• Then you may have to go back and fill in a few gaps to ensure total coverage.
• Hot glue a string of twine to the back for hanging, and you’re done!

Now I think this little guy is pretty cute as is…

He’d actually be perfect year-round don’t you think? But just like I added a little bling to my other reindeer projects, nothing makes it Christmas more than a red-nosed Rudolph!

I simply added a small sequined Chrismtas bulb with a dab of hot glue. It just finishes off our Moss Covered Reindeer and gives him a touch of Christmas charm!

I’m excited about how our Moss Covered Reindeer turned out and I think my husband was happy I finally used something other than glitter! What do you think? This project was fairly quick and easy, and that’s JUST my style! If you love this project then I would love to have you stop on by A Night Owl and say hello! A huge thanks to Jen for having me today. I always love a great party! Happy crafting, friends!

Thanks Kimberly! I love how she combined the natural element of moss with just a little bit of bling too! So fun!! Kimberly has tons of great ideas on her blog, A Night Owl. Here are a few of my favorite projects of hers:

It’s no secret that I’m in love with gold for the holidays this year! These Golden Fall Planters turned out so beautiful!

These Washi Tape Cookie Cutter Ornaments are such a simple idea!! You can customize them to go with the theme of your holiday decor, or give them as gifts!
