Today I’m sharing a sneak peek of a DIY Easter egg project I recently created for Decoist.

The secret to pulling it off: stick to designs featuring sprinkles, dots, circles and macaroni-style curves.
Enjoy the Holidays!
Happy Holidays, Everyone! I’ll be taking a break from blogging for a week or so, then picking back up just before the new year.
