Love 2 DIY on the Weekend: Easter Edition

Happy Easter weekend!  I hope you find a little DIY time for yourself in between cooking the Easter dinner and the Easter egg hunt.   Just in case you find those few moments of peace, here are some very appropriate DIY projects for this Easter weekend.

If you're home is suddently flooded with those plastic eggs that you just don't know what to do with, head over to TrashN2Tees and she'll give you "egg"xactly 14 ways to reuse them.  Including ideas like using them to store individual necklaces to keep them from tangling while you travel.  Of course, she also offers up plenty of crafting ideas, both hers and.....

....and others, like these adorable Plastic Egg Cupcakes from Creativity in Progress

And you can always substitute the plastic eggs for the real egg shell that I used to make this little spring time egg decoration:

I hope that gets the creative juices flowing just a little bit. What other ways do you repurpose those plastic eggs?

Introducing, an Upcycled Linky Party!

That's right, Monday is party day here on Love 2 Upcycle and we invite you to link up and share your latest upcycled creations.  As with most linky parties and blog hops, this party has a few rules and here they are:

1.  Feel free to link up no more than one upcycled tutorial that you created and one upcycled (or vintage) item from your shop each week.
2.  Follow Love 2 Upcycle by email or Google connect.
3.  This is a party so socialize!  Visit at least one shared link and leave a meaningful comment or "favorite" it if it is an Etsy shop item.  It would be nice if you followed them as well, but it is not required.
4.  Please keep it family friendly and upcycled!  We reserve the right to remove any links that aren't appropriate.

Follow these simple rules and your project may be featured next week.  Now party on....

Love 2 DIY on the Weekend: Spring Garden Projects

Happy Spring!  This is the most fabulous season of the year, don't you think?  Well, certainly members of Team Upcyclers have caught a bit of the Spring fever and it shows in their recent blog posts, like this upcycled twig vase from TheWoodenBee:

Flower Vase Made from a Tin Can and Twigs

Swing by Bee's gardening blog to see how you can use a spent tin can and a few twigs to make your own.

And for those of you aching for Spring to arrive but sadly live where the flowers haven't yet started to bloom, how about crafting this fabulous scrap fabric flower from VickyMeyersCreations:

Scrap Fabric Flower

Besides a bit of scrap fabric, this easy peasy flower also uses a plastic washer and a button.  That's it!

So what Spring projects are you working on this weekend?
