1- pkg of multi colored beads

Spool of Stretch Magic string

1-pkg of ends or fasteners

Scissors

Step 1: Take your ends/fasteners and your stretchy cord..Step 2: Measure and cut the amount of stretchy cord you need...I made sure to have

extra to give me room to tie it and room to work with it.

Step 3: Tie your end to the end of the stretchy cord.

Step 4: start stringing your beads...I did different patterns for each one.

Keep stringing...Step 5: Tie your other part of the fastener to the opposite end of the string.

Step 6: Take and put it on your cute little ones arm!!

Step 7: Make a bunch of different colors to match every outfit! :) Love them!

Easter/Spring Topiary..

I have seen alot of topiaries around at many craft stores and I love them...but I dont love there price! :) So I came up with a way to make it and it is really quite inexpensive. Total cost- $1 for the bucket (target), styrofoam ball 1.50, JellyBeans 1.00, grass 1.00, tulle 1.00/yd, wooden dowel 50 cents, other styrofoam piece 1.50, and the ribbon I already had. So about 7-8 bucks!! I can so handle that!! So here is how I did it!!

{Easter/Spring Topiary}

Item's Needed:

1- styrofoam ball

1- approx 12'x12' square of tulle

1- small metal bucket (target dollar spot)

1- bag of jelly beans

15-20inches of coordinating ribbon

Some Easter grass

1-wooden dowel

1-styrofoam square or piece for the bottom

Scissors

Hot Glue Gun/lots of gluesticks!!

( I will warn this project takes some time! Have to glue jelly beans on one by one!)

Step 1: Take your styrofoam ball and your wooden dowel...push your dowel

down inside the styrofoam ball a ways. It is hard to push it in and I had to hot

glue it to get it to stay in.

Step 2: Take your tulle of choice and wrap it around your styrofoam ball like so...
Step 3: Take your ribbon and tie it around the base of the styrofoam ball on the dowel..like so...

Step 4: Take your styrofoam piece depending on what size you have you may have to cut it in half. I used a piece I already had so I had to make it fit!! :)

Step 5: Cover it all with your grass..

Step 6: you dont have to do this step but I am a little crazy about color and order so I

seperated the jelly beans into little bowls.

Step 7: Start glueing...I had no certain pattern just tried to get all different colors everywhere

and to fill in all the holes...(which is impossible but it still looks cute!)

Step 8: Keep going....

and going...

Step 9: After they are all glued on how you want...take it and stick it down into the styrofoam/grass in the bucket. I had to one again use hot glue..that puppy was pretty heavy with all the jelly beans on it!! :)

Step 10: Set it on your shelf/stand with the other decor and admire!!

So cute!!

I LOVE IT!! I walk by it alot and it looks so perfect with the other decor! I love being frugile!

{lil carrots}

Items Needed:

Ziploc Bags...I needed 12

Green Ribbon

Scissors

Goldfish/cheetos...something orange

Step 1: Take your Orange item...Goldfish in this case and fill the bottom corner of a ziploc bag..not to full but a good amount.
Step 2: Gather your bag above the goldfish and cut the Zipper part and some excess off.

Like so:

Step 3: Take your green ribbon and tie it around to tie it shut..Tie it in a pretty bow..which also looks like leaves.

Like so:

There you have {lil' carrots}...the do look somewhat like little radishes..but I'm sure our nursery kiddos won't notice. They are chubby little carrots!! CUTE :)
