I ended up using black acrylic paint that was only about $2 at Michael’s. What You Will Need:įor my welcome mat, I was able to find a decent sized blank mat at target for $9! This was great because I searched all over the place for a blank mat everywhere.

I came to the conclusion that I will just make my own welcome mat to put outside my front door! Follow the steps below to see how I made this adorable custom welcome mat for just $12.

I finally decided it was time to start looking for other alternatives. I feel like everyone either has one that says “hey y’all, or welcome” or one that is monogrammed. I have had the same welcome mat for years, and I have been looking around for a new one forever! It is so hard to find one that is not basic. I hope y’all enjoyed this DIY as much as I did! Now all I need to do is buy a cute little basket to display them in… or maybe I will make one. I actually had so much fun doing this project! I was very amused to blow out eggs, and I actually wished I would have made more because it was so entertaining! I loved the way my Easter eggs turned out. Once they are done, the project is complete! After all the eggs are covered, let them sit and wait for them to dry. Repeat these steps for however many eggs you want to decorate. Continue to do this with each strip until the egg is fully covered.

Next, take a paint brush and dip it in mod podge and spread it evenly over the tissue paper onto the egg. To decorate: Once the eggs are dry, it is time to start decorating! Cut out some strips of tissue paper and get ready. Repeat these steps for however many eggs you choose to make! I chose a bowl so the egg would not be able to roll away and crack. Whenever you get all of the inside out, rinse it out with water and sit it in a bowl to dry. Make sure the water is cold because I did not and part of my egg actually cooked inside the shell, so I had to restart. To get the yoke out, shake the egg and try running some cold water through the holes, and begin to blow again. After this, take off the tape, stand over the sink, and blow on one side of the egg, and the liquid will start to come out. Make sure the hole is a decent size, so you will be able to get out all the contents of the egg. Once this is done, take the small nail and poke a hole in the very top of the egg and the very bottom. To begin this, take two pieces of tape and put one at the top of the egg and one at the bottom of the egg. Because I decided to blow out my eggs, there are a few more steps than regularly hard boiling them. To blow out the egg: To start this project out, you need to prepare the eggs you are going to mod podge. This was actually super easy and a great alternative to the traditional hard boiled eggs.

Now, I bet you are wondering what the nail and tape is for! I chose to blow out my eggs to make sure I could keep them forever and not worry about them rotting. I also bought a 6 pack of eggs that were super cheap at the grocery store, literally only costing me 87 cents. I had mod podge already, but a typical bottle only cost around $2 for a small bottle at Michael’s. The tissue paper I chose, I bought at Target, and because I got a variety of them, it cost me about $5 total. Follow the steps below to see how I accomplished this and spent under $10! What You Will Need:įor my Easter eggs, I decided to use printed tissue paper! I thought this could give it a cute little twist to the original one color eggs. To take from that, I decided I wanted to try something new this year! I thought pretty long about how I wanted to decorate my home, and I decided to paper mache eggs using tissue paper.

This will always be one of my absolute favorite things to do. I can always remember dying hard boiled eggs and writing adorable little sayings on them. We also all had a color scheme to wear on Easter Sunday, so we could take cute pictures… a little overboard, but it was awesome. I know it is a little early to be posting about Easter, but it is one of my favorite holidays! Growing up, my mom always decorated and gave us cute baskets.
