Egg Decorating Party

It was perfect weather for a garden party, even though I tend to melt in the heat when we start hitting 90s. So, we gathered together all our supplies from the my daughter's studio and the potting shed, and  we held an Easter egg decorating party. Anyone can participate... whatever faith...

For instance, I was raised a particular Christian faith and still am, but I am Jewish from my mom. 

And all of us are familiar with the background of the custom...

But it is fun, and it is fun to celebrate, and it is spring!

The roses in our garden are in full bloom and the citrus is blooming. The air smells wonderful, the birds are singing, and some of us are sneezing.

Here are our supplies.

We bought faux plastic Easter eggs. Some left over from last year, and some from Target: 6 for 1.50.

We like to use this tiered basket for so many things, but it's perfect for a party like this, because all the supplies can be in one place on the table.

Keep in mind these are young teen girls.

Faux eggs 2 dozen (These are plastic. See them in the bottom tier; they are one piece. They almost look real.)

Ribbons and strings

Craft Paint

Spray Paint (with adult supervision)

Cardboard

Hot Glue Guns and Glue

Dried potpourri that I had made from our garden
We used some bird seed (* but seed mixes have peanuts or contact with peanuts!)

Butterflies we cut for our butterfly wreaths and pretty papers for cutting

Paint brushes

Water Bucket

Paper plates for palettes

Spray Bottle

Modge Podge

Dyes (bowls if you use the dye)
Actually you can use anything around the house... I didn't buy anything except the faux eggs.

Imagination

Homemade Potpourri

Cut butterflies  (I don't know the name of the tool we used, but they have them at craft stores.)

These were leftover from our butterfly wreaths.

Our butterfly bucket that has a lot had a lot of use rinsing brushes...

The girls came up with some cool designs like cracked eggs, flower pots, and  Tsum Tsum like characters for instance, Winnie the Pooh, which they kept for themselves, so no photos of some incredibly creative ideas. 

Here are some that went on the porch.

I placed some of them on the porch.

Even cats like to participate.
An often searched Easter post of ours is here.

When we were done we had raspberry mousse cake that I picked up from the bakery and imported lavender soda.

Unfortunately no photos only with the phone, so maybe later on Instagram.

I still have it set up, so I know what I will be doing more of today.

Thank you for visiting. Happy Spring Day! Palm Sunday... etcetera...
