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

  7. I see those eggs all the time at the DT and thought they were so cute! I love your tree, I usually do the tree outside for East and you just reminded me to do that tomorrow:)

    Have a great evening!

  9. Very pretty and the how-to was entertaining to read! Thanks for enabling all the lazy crafters out there 😉 (I may or may not be part of that club . . .)

  11. Very pretty! Definitely not a shortage of branches here!
    It would be a good centerpiece too, as you can see through it!

  13. A woman after my own heart!

    I believe in keeping it easy when it comes to crafts. I used to have a store years ago where I sold the most beautiful artisan made items, but the only thing I actually made was the occasional pillow!

    Thanks for your visit and cheerful comment — I really like my new dishes, too! I am now following you.

  14. Cute! I love a quick & easy project! I may have you beat in the lazy department, though. My latest project was to make a pillow out of my hubby’s shirt so I don’t have to iron it any more! 🙂

  15. I bought those same eggs like a month ago and still haven’t done anything with them… I may have to find a branch and do that! So cute!!
    Big Hugs!
