I want to talk about holiday decor, upcycling and using what you have. I love decorating for the holidays, but there were many years I didn't do it. Here's the thing, decor is expensive, and I don't have money to throw away on things that sit around my home and only put out a few weeks a year, so what's a gal to do? I got the idea quite a few years ago to use things I already had and just remake them, and so my love of upcycling home decor began. I love it so much for so many reasons. It's relatively inexpensive. I seriously use things I've had for years sitting in my garage, and boom, I suddenly find a new purpose for it. I repurpose things people give me, that's always fun! I pick up things at garage sales and thrift stores constantly to upcycle. There's really nothing I won't try to upcycle. I can't tell you the last time I actually spent any real amount of on holiday decor, but I sure have a lot of great decor! So last night I wanted to make another cute Easter piece. I had this incredibly ornate and really ugly frame. It had a pretty poorly done painting in the frame, I had picked it up from a thrift store for $1, but I had a big imagnination about what it could be. I just wanna stress how easy and fast this small project was. Here is what I used and the steps:
I had all of these things except the carrots already, and while I was at Dollar Tree last week i picked these up and wanted to come up with a good use. I knew this was it when I was looking at the frame size. So here's how I put it together!
I look forward to hearing from y'all! Just get creative and you can make so many things that are so much cuter than you could ever buy in the store! Until tomorrow XOXO Jen
