Scrappy Easter Egg Framed Banner

I made this Easter egg banner completely from materials I already had.  I cut out egg shapes from cardboard and some scrap fabric.  I hot glued the fabric to the cardboard. 

Then I printed out the word Easter and painstakingly cut out the letters and traced onto some more scrap fabric and then cut.  That part would’ve went so much more quickly if I only had a Silhouette...sigh

Oh, well.  It’s done.  I hot glued the letters onto the eggs. 

 

I also spray painted some wood clothespins which was no easy feat in all of this rain we’re having.  I put them in a box and went onto the porch and just sprayed, sprayed, sprayed into the box.  The box kept my porch protected from the paint. 

I had this old frame that had just been hiding out in my closet for the past year or so that I drug out and removed the back and the glass.

It had a wire hanger on the back that had to be removed so I borrowed my boyfriend’s muscles to pull out the staples.  I painted it a bright spring green and when it was dry, I stapled two pieced of white rick rack ribbon to the back of the frame. 

 

Then, I just pinned on my Easter eggs with the clothespins.  I love how it turned out.  It’s so bright and cheery!

 

I can also easily remove the eggs when Easter is over and add letters for spring or whatever I want.  (Not that I'm in any hurry to cut out more letters!) 

Not only that, but when I get tired of it, I can turn it vertically (maybe add another ribbon to balance it out)  and put it in my daughter’s room as a hairbow holder!  You can’t beat that- a craft that does double duty!
