I've always wanted to make dress up clothes for my daughters. I made an Elsa princess dress a few years ago that I enjoyed creating, but not much else since then. A few weeks ago around my youngest daughter's birthday, a lightbulb went off. You might remember from my last post that I created birthday table displays using inexpensive party decorations, including plastic tablecloths that cost about $1. As I was picking up the latest display, I got the idea to recycle the tablecloth into a play dress! The first one I made was from the pink tablecloth in the display shown above. I felt I had to create at least one more so they wouldn't fight over one dress, but it soon escalated to a total of four dresses that I made over the following weeks. I bought more tablecloths, solely for the purpose of making dresses this time. It was fun stocking up on different colors, hehe. I drafted my own patterns to my girls' measurements, and I had fun getting creative
Oh boy, I am exhausted. This week I've been dealing with a move AND a sick baby. Not fun. Let's just say it's a miracle this post got done at all. But here it is (yay!). I hope you enjoy this quick Easter craft idea—some edible miniature Easter eggs.
All it takes is some Cadbury chocolate eggs, food coloring, a clean paintbrush, and a little creativity. Just paint on the eggs as if they were watercolors. And if you desire (which I usually do), eat them up! Mmmm…
