Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!  May your day be happy and blessed!

While stalking many fabulous blogs, I came across a ton of ideas for turning those ugly, cheap looking dollar store birds into beautiful, fabulous little gems!  So, of course, I had to try it!  I bought the little birds at our local dollar store for $1.25 (hmm...didn't I say DOLLAR store?  Yep....inflation?!?)  I had these gold candle sticks.  I hate to admit it but I actually paid a lot of bucks for these bad boys about 5 years ago at a home decorating party! Anyhoo, I spray painted them with a quick coat of primer and then used my fave, heirloom white spray paint!  Next I took some antiquing gel to give them that "aged" look I love so much!  For the eggs, I simply sprayed them with a coat of primer, then sponged on some acrylic craft paint!  Cheap and easy!  I, of course, had to add some bling but toned it done a bit with some jute and twine!  Super easy, super cheap, and super cute!  

What was I thinking?!?

Getting ready for their face lift!

I added some moss "nests" on top of the candle holder for the birds to "rest" in but I didn't have it when I was taking the pictures!  It adds a lot of super cuteness!

 Ta-da!!!  I totally cased this cute project from someone elses blog and I can't remember whose it was and have spent too much time trying to refind it!  Sorry!  So, if this was your idea or you know whose is was, please let me know as I would LOVE to give them the credit for such a fabulous idea!  Enjoy!
