Easter Egg Door Hanger Decoration

Easter is almost here (it came quickly this year)! Do you need something quick to decorate your door? This project took me less than 20 minutes (and that includes gathering and putting away my supplies)! 

Gather the plastic eggs you want to use. The amount and color are totally up to you! You will also need yarn (I used white) and some pretty Easter colored ribbon. 

There are holes in the top of most plastic eggs. If your eggs do not have holes, you will need to put holes in them to do this project. 

First cut some yarn (enough pieces for each egg you want to use) to a length a few inches LONGER than you want your eggs to hang from your wreath hanger. Tie a knot on one end of each string. I double knotted mine just to be safe. 

Then insert the yarn into the hole in the Easter egg and pull it through until it stops at the knot. 

Once you close your eggs, the string will hang out of the egg, and should not come out when you hold it only by the string. If it comes out, you will need to tie a bigger knot. 

Gather all of your eggs together how you want them to hang (you will want to hold them by your door to make sure the length it right for how you want them to hang) and then tie all the strands of yarn into a knot. 

Then tie another knot (I did mine with a small loop so it can easily be removed and put back up next year) around your wreath hanger. Then trim the yarn close to the knot.

Add your Easter colored ribbon and you're done! 

I hope everyone has a very happy Easter! He is Risen!!!  -Kristen

Sensational Scrap Sandals!

Spring is coming! Are your feet ready for some flip flop action?!? I know mine are! I decorated some kids flip flops with fabric scraps. This could easily be done with adult sandals, but of course your would need more scraps.

Cut a BUNCH of strips to about 6x3 inch strips. They don't have to be exact, as the final product should be a bit frazzled-looking anyway. After you cut a bunch of strips, start tying them on your sandals. I double knotted mine. I ended up tying about 32 strips on each sandal, so about 64 per pair (it is a lot of work and you may get finger cramps - just fair warning). I positioned the strips so they weren't all facing the same exact direction, but so that they were all facing out from the foot.

I used lovely spring colors and butterflies, but you could do these in any color or pattern. You could do all one type of fabric or use several different ones like I did. Use your imagination and see what you can come up with. Have a favorite sports team or need a pair to wear to school events? Use those colors! Have a favorite holiday? Make some to wear for that!

Go flip flop crazy! -Kristen
