Tissue Paper Flower
Fresh flowers are still rather expensive and you can not only embellish your home with paint coated beans but also with self-made tissue paper flowers.
Or of course other paper flowers ;-)

Paint Coated Beans
As long as fresh flowers still are rather expensive you can make your ambiance easily cheerful with paint coated beans in jars ;-))
If you don’t like beans very much, you can better fill the jars with coloured salt.
Bon appétit ;-))

Faux Pysanky Easter Eggs
I’ve often seen Pysanky Easter eggs in internet and always found them great. But to tell the truth I find it much to time-consuming to make wax batik on eggs.
That’s why I was thrilled when finding the tutorial on how to make faux Pysanky Easter eggs which are simply painted with felt-tip pens and which I find as beautiful as the real eggs ;-)

Onion Skin Dyed Easter Eggs
Because I nearly forgot Valentine’s Day I prefer to start a little sooner with Easter crafts.
And you may possibly practice a little before ;-)
I find that the onion skin dyed Easter eggs look wonderful and it doesn’t seem too hard to make them :)

Ice Castles
Great idea! Somebody builds there ‘ice castles’ completely from ice, with icicles as support and loooots of water :)
Most beautiful!
Is this also possible on the balcony? ;-)

Natural Room Scents
I don’t like room scents because our appartement is too small and I find that the scents get too strong.
But if I’d scent the appartement I’d use such natural room scents :)
