Here Comes Peter Cottontail

 I absolutely love using these glass domes  from Melissa Frances for projects. Today I thought I'd share with you a fun and easy decoration for your table or mantle.

I used a page from an Attic Treasures Postcard Book as the base and placed a vintage rabbit sticker on the inside of the glass dome. Shredded tissue paper was used to cover the bottom of the inside of the dome. I glued the glass dome on top of the postcard and surrounded it with speckled eggs and bits of tissue garland. I then tied some fabric scraps onto the postcard. I finished it up by tying some ribbon around the top of the dome.

Spring Decor

A sweet and feminine mini hanger for bridal shower favors, spring brunches or spring home decor. This project was incredibly quick and easy. Simply cover the hanger with pattern paper and ink the edges of the paper. Use the resin frame to trace a piece of paper, cut out and glue on the back of the frame. Adhere the resin sparrow on the paper inside the frame. Wrap the pink and white spring around top of hanger and fasten brooch to the top.
