This year, start up a new tradition in your family. Instead of putting your Easter presents in ugly, run-of-the-mill plastic eggs that you pick up at the local grocery store or dollar store, make Easter presents truly special. Pick up some German egg boxes that you use each year over and over, creating a truly special tradition. You can find these sturdy cardboard eggs at most craft stores or online. Once you purchase the eggs, make them your own by painting them in various shades of blue. After you finish painting the eggs, apply those special touches such as glass glitter or small rhinestones. Create a beautiful pattern that shimmers and shines. To create an incredibly beautiful little heirloom won’t take very much time; all it takes is some blue paint, some cardboard eggs, and time to let the paint dry. Once the paint has dried and the glue is done, add some silk flowers and some silk leaves to your eggs. Once you’re done, you’ve created an old world masterpiece that your friends and family will look forward to year after year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
