I have recently been sorting through boxes and boxes of old holiday decorations and childhood keepsakes. It has been a challenge to figure out what to keep and what to let go of. As I was digging I came across this Easter tree.
It was one of my favorite decorations when I was a kid. I loved setting it up and hanging all of the little Easter ornaments on it. Unfortunately, it was showing a few signs of wear from 20+ years of existence.
I can totally relate.
The ornaments themselves were looking a little tired...
And wonky*...
One armed rabbit anyone?
And even a little scary...
What's up with that beak?
So, I decided to give the thing a face lift.
I gave the bunnies a little sandy-sand...
Sorry bunnies.
Then I livened the whole thing up with a can of spring-green spray paint.
I was lucky enough to find these cool egg ornaments at Joann, but they needed a little something extra. So naturally, I glittered them.
Now my little bunny Easter tree has been given a facelift, and looks like something out of this decade. I am really pleased with the result.
*Hi Megan! I think of you every time I use the word wonky!!
Love the face lift but your bunnies are now blind. Ack! Give them some eyes, woman! ;)
