I thought I was done with my Easter crafting, but on a whim I wandered through the holiday section at Dollar Tree one last time – just in case, ya know?  That’s when I came across a set of interesting plastic eggs, designed to sit upright with transparent, domed tops on them.  I immediately thought of my Easter egg faux terrarium project and decided it …

Make a Decoupage Doily Garland

I love seasonal decor but I am also a lazy decorator. If I can find seasonal decor that is generic enough to sail through several holidays, I’m all about it! So in addition to being adorable, I love this doily garland from Mod Podge Rocks for that reason. It would easily work for St. Patrick’s Day, Spring, Easter or even a birthday party. Of course, …
