Pastel Marbled Easter Eggs

Apr 15

So, Easter snuck up on me! I was so busy stuffing my face with grilled cheese sandwiches that I didn’t realize it is HERE already. I wanted to do some Easter DIYs and thought eggs are the best Easter DIY out there.

I was so inspired by Alexis‘ post on marbled paper that I thought marbled eggs were the way to go. I was pondering how I could get that effect on eggs when I remembered this pin to marble your nails. Ding ding ding. So I ran to my computer and Googled marbled eggs and it turns out I’m not the first to try it (of course) and what’s more, nail polish is clearly the way to go! Henry Happened posted a black and white version this year and a super colourful version last year. I decided to go with a more subdued palette and give the DIY a pastel touch.

DIY Pastel Marbled Easter Eggs - lemonthistle.comI just love how they turned out! I love the subtle all over colour with the swirls of brighter purples and blues. These would make a lovely place setting too- I wrote names on mine with gold paint pen, then set them in Easter Nesting in bowls. I made the nesting out of plain white paper streaked with the nail polishes I used for marbling.

It’s pretty easy too- just a wee bit smelly. Get a cup of room temp water that you don’t mind tossing. Start dropping nail polish into the cup and then swirl it with a toothpick. My nail polish dried pretty quickly so I ruined the first one taking pictures (ugh). Move quickly and dunk your egg, then place face up to let it dry. You’ll need to use another toothpick to gather all the polish. I had a clear film left over my water I needed to scoop out with a toothpick before I could do another one.

    This is so neat! I don’t have anyone to decorate Easter eggs with, but I would be just fine decorating these all by myself! :)

      I definitely tackled this one by myself during naptime. Friends would have made it so much more fun though.

    These look really cool. I’m usually not the paranoid type but I know my little ones would put these straight into their mouths. Lol. Maybe when my little ones aren’t human vacuums I’ll try these out. These are the coolest eggs I’ve ever seen anywhere.

The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stink The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stinking happy! 

It’s felt like such a long time coming for such a small space. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, this space has seen new doors and hardware, new trim, new floors... twice😅, we changed the boob light to a pot light and I hated it and now it’s got the most beautiful flush mount fixture I’m in love with (thanks @mymitzi!). It finally got some fresh paint and now frames on walls and last but not least... After this weekend, the new floors look like they were here all along (no door jamb gaps!) which was the last thing really bugging me since our flood last year. 

All this to say that home takes time and sometimes getting it right might take a couple tries. Also- the spaces we don’t really think about (hallways) can totally help a house feel like home with some love (and family photos 🥰)
ps. I partnered with #mymitzi to create a tiktok for This makeover... are you following me over there yet?! I’d love if you popped over and said hi!
It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a grea It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a great use of my afternoon the other day. Did you catch the stories? These projects both cost me under $10 by using pieces I already had in my home (yay for scraps!) and one package of drawer slides).
You can find the full video about these two kitchen organization projects over on YouTube in collaboration with my friend @love_create_celebrate and her #scrapsmademodern challenge! But for now... I’m rejoicing this coffee maker is off my counter for good 🎉
How’s your January going? Full speed or are you How’s your January going? Full speed or are you taking it a bit slow too? 

I’m not going to lie, I’m easing into this new year thing pretty slowly. All my decorations are still up (we always leave them up til Ukrainian Christmas which is later this week) and I I’ve yet to respond to my emails since before Christmas 😅
I’m enjoying the slowness of it all.

This year has been one of a kind and I know so man This year has been one of a kind and I know so many people who are taking this year as the push they’ve been waiting for to start a side hustle, start an new career altogether or to just get creative about how they’re making money. So today I’m excited to partner with @kregjig to share some rad projects to make and sell this year! 
Like this rolling storage system I made for my office, that rad dollhouse and the gorgeous bath toy storage. All of these projects are things that I’d personally love to buy for our family and look like they’d be a great return on your time making them! And yes, all of them use #Kreg tools to make them easy to assemble and quick to make! Plus, they’re having a great sale on right now with deals on their K4 and K5 jigs, Rip-Cut and even a hardware jig bundle! There’s never been a better time to get your workshop set up!  #sponsored
