Easy Twine Wrapped Acorns

A couple of weeks ago I got the idea that I needed to clean my closet out a bit - a job I was not too interested in (not fun) nor enthusiastic about.  As I was rummaging through some of the drawers I came upon a partial bag of paper mache eggs left over from a project I had done a couple of years ago.  I set them aside and kept digging and found a few other supplies that gave me an idea to make with them. So I got busy and before long - I had some twine wrapped acorns for my Fall baskets.

Twine Wrapped Table

Hi everyone - hope you are having a wonderful fun and relaxing Memorial Day weekend as we are.  We are busy getting a few projects done around here as I know many of you are also. Today I am going to bring you a little project that takes some time but is very simple to do.  A cute little beachy table with a twine wrapped top.  

DIY Nautical Coasters

  Today I thought I would share  some cute little nautical coasters that I DIY'd a couple of weeks ago. I don't know about you but we are constantly needing to replace the coasters at our house. So this time around I decided to make my own instead of paying so much money for anything that was cute or decorative.  Since I have a coastal/beachy theme decor I decided to make some nautical ones this time around. 

                                   
I think these turned out so cute and they definitely fit into our coastal decor. These are very simple to make but do take some time since I had six in my set to do.  So lets get on with the steps.

Yarn Wrapped Egg Tutorial

Good Morning everyone.

     In my last post I showed you some really cute and colorful wrapped eggs I had made.  So today I thought I would show you how to make your own with whatever bits of yarn, twine, baker's twine, or string you may have on hand.  It makes no difference they are all done the same.  This is a picture of the eggs in one of my Dollar Store Tins that I painted.  These are quite simple to make, and take just a few minutes - so you can turn out a dozen or more in no time.  I usually make mine while watching my evening TV shows.
