Nest Eggs

This year I'm on a quest to change up my existing decorations for little to no money. I've had these little egg candle holders for years. They're sweet, but I thought with the help of some styrofoam, moss and a hot glue gun they could become spectacular.I just glued the moss around the foam to make it look like a little nest.Then I took it one step further and plopped them on top of a candle holder.My little nested eggs now get the attention they deserve among my other Easter decor.

    They look great! I enjoyed looking at your final picture. I was going through a dilemna regarding my colors and Easter Colors. I like how you've been able to keep your pretty black and cream and it still looks Easter-y...uh...is that a word? LOL!

    Great post.

    Quick, easy and pain free way to take the old and make it new. I have come to expect nothing but greatness from your posts. I truly wish we had a dollar store/craft over here that was not in euro. But still your ideas save me money. I promise at some point to finish the projects and give you links. Have a great weekend.

    God Bless

    What a great, inexpensive way to update your eggs. I love the splash of color against the black and cream.
