Top 5 Pinterest Pins for February 2019

Man, where did February go? Sometimes the months creep by and then sometimes it’s already March and you are standing there wondering how you got there. It’s been a rough couple of months in our home. Because of the continuous snow days, the kids haven’t had a full week of school since early December, it’s absolutely nuts. Because of that, I had not had much time to get creative with the blog and my to do list of idea is getting longer and longer. Don’t worry, the ideas are coming! Anyone else, just begging for spring?

Below are the top 5 Pinterest Pins for February 2019. The last one might no longer be good for this year, as Dr. Seuss Day has come and gone, but pin it and save it for next year.  Happy pinning!

The best way to welcome a new season is to display festive decor on your door. Celebrate eggs, bunnies, flowers & moss with these Inspirational DIY Spring Easter Wreaths.

Inspirational Spring Easter Wreaths

“Hippity hop hop, Easter’s it’s way…”

Since we moved to DC, our front door decor has been lacking. Mostly because our wreaths didn’t fair well in the move but also because we went from having a front porch to a stoop. This means all my outdoor decor had to either be prepared only to last one year or had to have the ability to get wet. I went for plan A on most of the seasons, replacing my front door seasonal decor every year – no, it wasn’t the frugal way to go about things. However, I learned if I could craft my own projects, seasonal door decor because a little bit more affordable than buying a brand new wreath every year.

Spring Easter Wreaths

With myself in mind and you all secondary (chuckle… I cannot tell you how many posts are created because I am searching for something for our home), I found some of the best Inspirational DIY Spring Easter Wreaths for your front door.

“April Fools!”

Ahhh, that phrase is all too familiar! I love to love and I love to share jokes with my kids. My humor is always is fun and never meant to hurt or be at the expense of others.

April Fools’ Day is an annual celebration that takes place on April 1. Filled with playing practical jokes and shouting April fools at the unfortunate victims. This isn’t a new tradition. In fact, the first April Fools took pace in the 1500s when the C Gregorian calendar took over from the Julian calendar and the first day of the year moved from late March/early April to January 1st.

How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs using Nail Polish and Easter Eggs plus easy DIY Egg Drying Rack Tutorial.

How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs

Dyeing eggs is so fun! We shared with you before, Easter Egg Ideas that are outside of the box. Today we have more Easter Egg ideas – How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs with Nail Polish. This egg dyeing process is really easy. We also share and easy tutorial on how to make your own Egg drying rack from a floral foam brick.

I have many memories of dyeing eggs as a kid. They were all of using short plastic cups and adding my hard boiled egg to colored water.  If I was lucky, we got a kit with little paper stands or even stickers – stickers were my favorite. We then displayed the eggs in Easter grass – my how times changes with the evolution of Pinterest! 

Many of these supplies you likely have in your home. Trying gathering old nail polish bottles that are almost out, otherwise pick up this Cheap Nail Polish set. We suggest gloves to keep the marbled pattern off your hands, but have some nail polish remover near by for a quick and easy clean up.

Marbled Easter Eggs Supplies:

  • Eggs
  • Room Temperature Water
  • Bowls
  • Cheap Nail Polish
  • Nail Polish Remover
  • Plastic Gloves
  • Toothpicks
  • Floral Foam Brick
  • Flat Head Pins


How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs:

First, prepare your eggs. You can hard boil your eggs or use a small needle to blow the eggs out. If you blow the eggs out, you will be able to save them and use them year after year!

Second, you want to prep your drying rack.

In a piece of craft foam, place flat head pins in. This will allow your eggs to dry without having to be fully set down. You will appreciate this as it will keep your dyed eggs from becoming smudged!

Once your eggs are cooled, fill a small bowl with room temperature water.

Next pour nail polish in a swirling pattern on the water. If the water is the right temperature, the polish should float to the top. This is your goal!

You can mix different colors or stick to one color. We prefer a good swirl of colors.

 

To get a good swirl, use a toothpick to create a swirling pattern.

Put your gloves on to protect your skin. You do get some on you when placing your egg in the mixture. Dunk your egg into the polish water and set on the Easter egg drying rack to dry. You will be able to usually get half of the egg dyed at once, so have patience!

Allow to dry and then finally repeat on the other side if desired.

Enjoy your eggs! I get you will get many compliments! Don’t forget our other  Easter Egg Dyeing Ideas!
