DIY Paper Mache Speckled Robin’s Eggs
Tomorrow is the 1st day of spring.
Yippee, yay!
Although it doesn’t feel like it here in the NE,
I am still ready to celebrate and kiss those
cold, wintery & windy days goodbye.
Are you?
Last week I featured my Rustic Spring Sign
& shared some simple spring touches I added to my
The best part of using a neutral color palette when decorating is the flexibility when the seasons change.
One of the MANY things I adore about spring, are the colors.
So bright, cheerful & happy and who doesn’t need that after a LONG winter:).
Robin’s Egg Blue happens to be one of my all time favorites.
How about you?
It is a classic and picked straight from nature itself,
what could be better.
Here is an easy spring project that will be sure add a little pop of happy to your spring decor.

Two coats will do.
To add the speckles, water down your second color, mine is a dark tan, any contrasting color that you have will look great.
With your fingers flick the wet bristles onto your eggs.
It doesn’t have to be perfect & if you mess up, just wipe off.
Let dry completely & flip over and speckle other side.
I also wanted to give a HUGE thank you to
Jen from The Chronicles of Home for sharing her stunning home with us on Friday!
Happy Spring friends,

Great job, Jen! Love the blue you used. Yours is the second egg post I read today and I’m pinning both of them! : )
I think that is lovely. I never seem to take time to do seasonal things like that (except atChristmas), and I love that you do.
Thank you for sharing.
