Easter Wreath

So here is the Easter wreath I made with the pinwheels I showed you guys that I made. I like it, it's simple and I can still use this wreath after Easter, just tweak a few things,remove the wood bunny ornament. Isn't just darling, my luck I always find one left of what ever it is that I want to get more of at the dollar spot at Target. It come with 6 or 8 of these wood bunnies. The Burlap I purchased at Walmart, which they have different selections even, by the yard. The Green Burlap ribbon I actually purchased at the dollar tree and yup it was the last one. I am hoping to find some more again. The yellow polka dot wired ribbon, I also purchased at the dollar tree, and the little eggs you can find them at the dollar tree or the 99 cents only stores. I found blank ones at the 99 Cents Only Store as well which I like because you can paint,decorate and do many things with them.
Oh, and the wreath itself I also purchased at the dollar tree. Surprisingly, they are sturdy.
I have a few other wreaths,but I am saving those for other projects that I will blog about soon.
 Hope you all like the wreath,and remember there are no right or wrong ways to making a wreath. You can add just about anything.

Faux Flower Decor

Home Decor does not have to be pricey. Hold off temptations to buy that floral arrangement for $16, and you can make one at your own taste. Depending where there are sales or clearance on floral supplies, it can be at Walmart,Michael's stores or Joanne's or even the dollar store. For this simple arrangement I purchased the floral foam blocks at the dollar tree, as well as the pink roses.  I then cut the block in half to fit in this vintage milk vase or Goblet Chalice. I then cut off some of the stems to make them shorter and that is it. Very simple and chic. 

You would be surprised at the amount of floral supplies the Dollar Tree carries.

If I ever see any real Milk vases I will grab them, especially if they are inexpensive. 

Dollar Store Mirror Decor

Sometimes I buy things at the dollar store,Michael's or thrift store because they are great finds and I know I will regret not buying it later and it won't be there when I come back for it, and like a lot of the times I am busy and never get around to finishing something or I end up doing another project instead, or if I do finish my projects I forget to post it up on here and I remind myself with post it's on the fridge but someone how they manage to disappear,not my fault I promise he he he.  I am doing better and trying to keep up with my facebook page,Pinterest,Instagram and of course my blog. 

Well enough about excuses, but here is a project you can do with any kind of mirrors you find, the key is the glue especially for glass that you do not want it to fall apart. My secret is the E6000 glue and it dries clear. It is very versatile and I always keep at least two around. These framed mirrors you can find at the dollar tree or 99 Cents Only Stores and the wood letter I picked up at Walmart for less than $1.50 and the Glue too they sale at Walmart or any craft store for under $4.00, just depending where you get it at price may vary. 

You can paint them any color you want, these were white to begin with and still look white but I did apply a coat of a very light gray bluish paint that is very light,but you can not tell in this picture very well. And of course I painted the wood letter to give it a shabby chic look to it. For the letter I primed it first,then I put a coat of like a light ever green acrylic pain color and after that dried I added a light pink coat to the top. Once it all dried up I gave it a quick sand with a sanding sponge to reveal some of the paint beneath to give it taht old look and then I glued the letter using the E6000 Glue and I let the whole thing dry over night. 

The frames actually already come with hanging brackets on the back in case you want to hang it, you won't need to add any,or you can just stand it on a bookcase or on top of the fireplace mantle. Next time you go into a dollar store don't forget to snag a few of the mirrors.
