Today’s post is from one of my blogging bestest friends, Ashley of Sugar & Cloth. That girl and I have shared a few hotel beds and, therefore, have shared everything. She’s queen of beautifully styled and shot DIY projects and today’s is a real winner.
Even though Easter is a week away, there are still a few quick and easy projects to make for a personalized Sunday get together, like these DIY nest placecards.
They only take a few steps to make and the supplies are budget friendly, which leaves plenty of wiggle room for more candy supplies and cupcake making, am I right?
Materials:
Paint brush
Craft paint
Splash of water in a small bowl for each color
Gold leafing pen
Mini bird’s nests (you can buy them a t a local craft store, mine are from Hobby Lobby)
Add a squirt of craft paint to a small bowl with a splash of water and stir to create your watercolors. The more paint you add the more vibrant the color will be so start adding the color slowly.
Begin brushing the paint onto the eggs starting at the bottom and brushing up, letting the color fade. Once they dry, place them in the little nests.
Now use the liquid gold leaf pen to draw monograms on the eggs for each of your guests, and let it dry to the touch.
Not only are they a cute way to style the table, but guests can also take them home as favors!
