An Easter army

I have not made anything in so long that I cannot even remember what the last thing I made was. It is making me a bit frustrated, but it seems like everything I try and start right now ends up in the trash or I simply give up. Jack is into EVERYTHING, and wants to be involved in EVERYTHING (dangerous or not), and by the time he goes to bed I am just dead tired.

I am getting desperate. So I thought I would try some placecards for Easter dinner. They took me 2 days to make. 2 days! Goodness.
They are cute little things though. I used old wallpaper, crepe paper ruffles for the wings, some vintage velvet bows, and some millinery flowers.
And glue. Lots of glue. Nearly every last drop of glue in the house. I even had to resort to hot glue, and I hate hot glue. It was the only thing that would make them stand up straight though.
They are sitting on eggs made with more old wallpaper and the pinking shears.

Cheep! Cheep! I cannot believe Easter is only a week away...

awww.. they are precious! Sorry, but hot glue will ALWAYS have a place in the crafting world ;-) It's nice to see you will have a table full of easter sunday guests. Have big fun!

They look so sweet Sarah.
It is so hard to try and create when there are little fingers getting into everything
