FINALLY!!! It seems like I have been waiting so long to create an Easter home décor project on Good Things Utah.   With Easter coming at the end of April, March was too early to start.  What a delightful day we had around here yesterday, it was warm and the sun was bright for most of the day.  It was a great way to come out of a week of snow storms.  (Alta Ski Resort had 43” of new snow just over the weekend!)

So, the promise of renewal that spring and Easter offer is that much more appreciated by me today.

I had seen some cute yard stakes in one of my favorite home décor magazines (Pottery Barn Kids) and thought were cute but, they needed to be “Amber-ized”.

With some scraps of wood I had in my basement (if you don’t have any, they are inexpensive at a lumber yard or home store), mod podge, My Mind’s Eye Stella & Rose – Gertie paper, ribbon, rhinestones, buttons and brads… this is what I came up with:

(p.s. that’s a Peep head!  I haven’t even eaten one Peep this Easter season – you’ll be so proud of me!)

You will be amazed at how simple this project really is!  I’ve even included instructions so it’s even easier!  It’s also easily adapted for any occasion.

I will add the video from the segment when it is available this afternoon.  There will also be pictures from a “bonus” Lime Twist project.
