This year I wanted to try an unconventional Easter egg decorating idea and temporary tattoos on eggs sounded interesting. It’s an easy & mess free last minute Easter egg idea, plus it’s pretty fun!
For your own DIY temporary tattoo Easter eggs, you just need 7 items. Bonus, you probably already have most of them!
So, we’re always on the lookout for fun & quirky props to add into product photography and our decor in general. We both really like brightly hued vintage items, but unless you just luck out when finding them, they tend to be kind of expensive. Lately I’ve decided to start painting some cute little cheap items to use in photos. I already think painting is basically the answer for everything so I can’t believe I haven’t done this project sooner.
I bought a few little plastic toy animals at Walmart & Target and some unpainted wooden items at Hobby Lobby. I’m a huge fan of cheap DIY projects that are also quick so this was right up my alley. I bought a few small bottles of acrylic paint at Michael’s and used paint brushes I already had.
Use the illustrations from your 2016 Jaunty Animals calendar to make a quirky framed collage with your favorite Jaunty Animals of the year! All you need are scissors, the calendar & 4″x4″ or 5″x5″ frames with a 4″x4″ mat. We chose to use the 5″x5″ frame with the mat here.
If you don’t have the 2016 version, don’t worry — you can scoop up one of the few remaining 2016 calendars at its discounted year-in price through the Hello Small World web store here.
This is a great DIY project that just takes a little time, a roll of cork, an exacto knife & a print out of a world map. This project turned out to be even easier than we thought it would be & we think it turned out pretty great! Now we just have to start adding pins — you can use your map to mark sales, travel, anything!
