2 Bucks and a Branch=Easter Decor

by

HELLO!
I have a quickie for you today.
 
You can do this in a cinch 😉
or, in a pinch.
 
It’s pretty fast & easy.
and why is that?
BECAUSE…
say it with me;
“I am a lazy crafter”.
 
Now you’re getting it!!
Lets make something cheap & easy.
Just like me! I mean, Are you ready?
 
 
One:
Grab a branch.
I got mine after a big storm.
So, FREE.
If you don’t count the $650 we had to spend to have tree removal done afterwards. Ouch!


If you need more ideas on how to get branches…
Go visit Viv at The V Spot
She is one branch loving gal!!
 
TWO:
Spray paint it white.
I had some on hand.
Didn’t take much so maybe another $2 for a partial can.
I also added some frosty looking glittery stuff.
Not really necessary-Can’t even see it!
 
THREE:
Stick it in a big vase.
 (I got mine from Costco, like 13? years ago) 
Man I am getting old!
Or, you can use anything you have that will support the weight of your stick. A watering can, clay pot, bucket, etc…
 (You can always weigh down the bottom)
 
FOUR:
Add two packages of glittery (luv glitter)
Easter Eggs from the Dollar Tree.
So, 2 packages=$2.
Nice and Le’ Cheap 😉


Now… I could have added a hand strung garland made out of colorful buttons I “happened” to have laying around… but, then it would not be fast, easy, or come in at $2 bucks… So I skipped that part.
Because this is good enough.
 
Now Your Home Says…
… and it didn’t break the bank!
This was SO easy.

Happy Spring!
The sun showed her pretty face yesterday and that sure made me happy. The deer came by for a visit too.


Have a Super Day

    We LOVE decorating with branches and yours is perfect for Easter and spring in general! We’ve been pruning apple trees so I’ll have to see what I have to add some decor like this!

    Shannon – we’re lazy crafter twins! Love this and I’ve had a giant branch sitting on my patio for months. The hubs wants to toss it but I keep telling him I have plans for it!! Better get something done with it or it may mysteriously disappear one day!

    Such a cute, fun (cheap), and easy idea. Pinning this and it’s perfect for the It’s a Cinch party!

    Cute Shannon! I love decorating with branches! Nifty Thrifty that’s for sure! I do not know what’s going on with linky. Maybe something this not so computer savvy chick did. lol! I am going to contact Brent (aka owner of linky) and see if he knows. When I go to my post the thumbnails are no longer showing up. Did they for you? Thanks for trying to support me!
    Hugs,
    Jann

    I’m hopping over to see Viv the branch lady, cuz if it’s one thing I have, it’s branches.
