Engineering Success

This is my not so good season.. First of all, Spring and Easter are all about cutesy, and I’m not so talented with the cutesy execution.

I may need to come up with a post on how to clean glue stick off of walls!This little part of our living room was looking pretty darn sad after we got all the Christmas stuff taken down and put away a couple of weeks ago.After I finished painting that genius (if I do say so myself!).

square of paint on the wall.to make the area feel a little bit more detailed and richer, we got to work adding some easy Valentine’s Day-style decorations..It all started with the big felt X’s and O’s.

We cut them out to the size of full sheets of felt and then ironed them onto our newly-prettified wall using.my starching method.. We draped this.

across the front.. We added some topiary balls plunked down on top of some milk glass..This is a great Easter decoration.

It looks so nice paired with pretty things like satin ribbon or even rougher natural things like reclaimed wood and jute.. It’s also a fabulous family project!.It takes a lot of lung power to blow out all those eggs!

It’s great to be able to take turns..When you’re done, you’ll have a beautiful garland that you’ll be able to keep and reuse for many years to come!
