No Sew Easter Egg T shirt

I have always wanted to learn how to sew.  My husband even bought me a sewing machine for Christmas, but I haven't even had the time to get it out of the box.  So when I wanted to make my two youngest girls an Easter shirt, I knew it had to be a no sew project.  I thought that they made fabric glue, so a trip to Wal-Mart and I found some "Fabric Fusion" and got to work.

You guys know how I love to repurpose and recycle.  And so I got the remains of the lime green sweater that I made the St. Patrick's Day 3D Art and the Easter Rosette Frame with  and decided to make an Easter egg shirt.

 First, I traced the egg shape onto the sweater and cut out the egg.

 Next, I got the remains of some ribbon scraps that I used for our 4 year old's Princess Birthday Party and arranged them for the stripes on the egg.  I used the thin yellow one for the center and then put the same kind of ribbon at the top and bottom of the yellow one until I reached the top and bottom of the egg.

Next, I cut them at an angle to the shape of the egg on each side and used the fabric glue to glue each piece of ribbon on the egg.

Last, I used the fabric glue to attach the egg to the shirt centered on the chest of the shirt. 

 I used shirts that the girls already had, the white one is for my two year old and the pink one is for my 4 year old.  I will show you some pics of the girls with them on when I can get them to cooperate long enough to do so.  I don't know how well the fabric glue holds up.  They did dry kinda stiff.  I will let you know later how they hold up, but they sure are cute!!

Mason Jar Easter Tree

I love vintage blue mason jars!  I had this large one that my husband's uncle gave us and wanted to display it with my Easter mantel.  I picked up a small pack of the hanging easter eggs at Dollar Tree for $1, tied the jute and ribbon around it and came up with this.  I will be posting my Easter mantel soon as well as Easter shirts I am working on for the girls.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Easter Rosette Frame

I hope everyone's having a great week.  It has been another busy one here.  We are counting down to Spring Break here, one more week.  I think I can, I think I can….

So when I made the Easter Bunting Frame I didn’t want to waste the cute little chick at the bottom of the paper so I decided to make a frame for it to go in for more décor for the mantel. I didn’t have a white frame so I spray painted a black one white.  I used more of the sweater that I used from the St. Patrick's Day 3-D Art that I made to make a couple of the rolled rosettes to decorate the frame. After I cut the cute little chick out and put it in the frame, Voila!  Have a great weekend!

Time:  20 minutes

Cost:  $0

Easter Bunting Frame

Hello there!!

I purchased this frame at a yard sale last summer for a dollar.  I wondered what I could do with it, and decided to make an Easter pennant banner out of some scrapbook paper that I already had. I think it turned out kinda cute, for a dollar.

Check back for more Easter projects soon!
