Tuesday Tutorial - Easter Wreaths

Last week, I shared some crafty projects for Easter. This week, I'd like to share some Easter wreath projects.

The first one is made from plastic eggs and it's really nice. Find out how it's done at www.2plusjilly.blogspot.com

This wreath is too darn cute. It's made with little easter chicks... kinda reminds me of peeps. Find instructions here... www.craftaholicsanonymous.net

And speaking of peeps... a wreath made from bunny peeps. Instructions can be found at www.stampinmama.typepad.com

and yet another wreath made with chick peeps... www.rescuedgoods.blogspot.com

Last, but certainly not least... this beautiful wreath is made from fabric scraps. Find out how it's done at www2.fiskars.com

Thanks for joining us,

Organizing ----- Pot Racks

Pot rack holders can be very expensive.   Here are some diy alternative ideas for pot racks.

IKEA shoe rack turned pot holder on Apartment Therapy.

Here is a unique pot rack, a bicycle rim.

How about this one hidden in an upper cabinet from Between Three Sisters.

I like this window pot rack from Robo Junker because you can use the top for storage, too.

Thanks for visting.
