Knock Off - Easter Egg Mason Jar

This past Saturday I got to enjoy my day in Lincoln with Hubby's, Aunt Jill. We had a great time and found some treasures! Aunt Jill is a treasure hunter when it comes to junk... she is always on the hunt, so when I seen a sign on the highway about an antique show/ flea market I knew she would going. We met up in Lincoln Saturday and had lunch, then made our way to the show.

The show was great, there were quite a few vendors and some good bargains. I will share more on the antique buys in another post! ;)

Today I am here to show you the Easter Egg Mason Jar I made Sunday! I seen something similar at Hobby Lobby while enjoying my day out with Aunt Jill.

To make my version above I spent a whopping $1.97 + tax, I believe the real deal was $12.

I seen these eggs at Walmart in the Easter aisle ( I was on the hunt for some Peeps) The eggs are the only thing I purchased for this project, everything else I already had on hand.

I chose some paint colors that were kind of spring-y and went to town.

The eggs I bought at Walmart even came with these little egg holders, very handy and perfect for drying.

After I was done watching paint dry, I started layering the eggs and some of this "nest" looking stuff... I don't have a clue what its called, I have had it awhile and it isn't in the original packaging.

I topped it off with some burlap in between the lid and ring and twine wrapped around the ring. (sorry it is blurry - not a pro )

I am really happy with my finished product! When I finally get to dig my spring decor out, I know of a cute ceramic bird I have that will look cute sitting atop the lid!

We can't wait for spring in our house! I am sure everybody else feels the same way!

Blessings,
