No, seriously.
I calculated my total cost to be less that $5.
That isn't counting the spray adhesive I had at home!
I took the other half of plumbers pipe fitting and secured it into a circle. ($.49)
Then I spray painted it green (the whole can was $.94 because I bought the cheap kind)
And let it dry.
Then I took the spray adhesive and coated what I decided to be the front (how much does that stuff cost? I don't know. I bought it so long ago that I forgot)
**crafters note: the spray adhesive is nearly impossible to get off wedding rings and glasses. You may want to remove them first!**
Then I took the green Easter basket stuffing and stuck that to the adhesive ($1 and I didn't use the whole bag)
Then another coat of adhesive to get it all to stick.
After it was dry, I took my bag of small Easter eggs and my E-6000 glue and started gluing them on top (Eggs: $.70 for the bag and I didn't use them all, and I don't remember what the glue costs. A little goes a long way and I'm pretty sure its not more than $2-3)
I let that dry and then added a ribbon bow that I made and a ribbon to hang it with ($1 bin at Michaels!)
And then I ended up with this:
Excuse my lack of photography skills. |
I think its cute and worth all the scrubbing needed to get the adhesive off my hands!
