I just followed along, doing exactly as Martha suggests. I did find on another website, however, that these eggs should not be eaten since the dye is not food safe. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLqv3qqcX4Nr6QUM_xm2732uGKnlOT6mmHcaAaeDK3s4Pr72n87xwPODurc45pHQKZg7cEGJzhaPoEUdfyy04hjFk8G4zvlT8swH_QoAxW-JrNVC9EmiuDpdA_clG7SbrCAoSsgpvR9JIt/s1600-h/Supplies%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Supplies" border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjydzj2db3pRIkwd3I8JFNSo0-RZAJ-VJ1PkLiZGNJz_PaGE5rwd90c5_XPh47zHK81AKWY5_Uy_7oIJh2oJoYVonzeAfrBh3fY9NbEkXbglXqpYdgsibBgaxBfnec4Ar17YLYMERei2kMB/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Supplies" width="660" /></a> A trip to Goodwill netted me some silk ties in festive Easter-y colors plus a silk scarf in a pretty shade of green. You must be sure that they are 100% silk or it will not work…so only use ties that are clearly labeled. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHfGegaI2LFXvrV4liSdtz_VuT0L9PIxOEOYuLUcu_xYsFwjLa9PmGFP8fnI8wSSnxkd31bLKEQo9PBWyI-j9lerPn_G9zmtKw-zUCmL6XRh0bpyjILjsURQqdx8-u27nmgcjZp503fSWw/s1600-h/CONFESSIONS%252520OF%252520A%252520PLATE%252520ADDICT%252520Silk%252520Dyed%252520Eggs4%25255B13%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Silk Dyed Eggs4" border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGcpMsTw7Q9qSgj_bpWhUz-AKoVfG29SmyQ7N7XsfA4laY_yfVFjDHXelkvvOS602C5gPZedOlcno1M4VZnPIkgp1gGy7iIBdFAbhYhmsk3dQaentDZpfOQVvyICvXlIH2gX_gRhyphenhyphen-FRVL/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Silk Dyed Eggs" width="660" /></a> Once the eggs were finished and I could get a look at the result, I was excited to see how they turned out!

There are only a few days left until Easter…just enough time for me to show you one last project…my silk dyed eggs! For these eggs, I used a fun and different method to achieve the patterns and colors…old silk ties and scarves! Our co-host today Miss Kitty did a little research and found some easy-…

I have been thinking about this one for a while and debating what filler to use. Hmmm…jelly beans? Malted milk eggs? Nothing seemed quite right. Then I was walking through the grocery store today, pondering the problem in the Easter candy aisle (Don’t you just hate it when you have to spend time in the candy aisle? lol) when it hit me…bunny Peeps! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfvXCPxefQj06bFwwAHpNdbxl05OTCDljwQM7D8hKXGvILtVURp7x1CqZd8Qbhlc2FKbn2gg5StIwwtPhZTZM9mgcW8YxOhIlaLXWVp6Ur-zW4C7FPEtAGcKxlHSdLegBxBZHvHz82dEyS/s1600-h/Ozzie%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Ozzie" border="0" height="625" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiL7V0ai1UoFyHlVL2FY89aIbFLJS-YBMG0jbG-JR4raIoKuXbbCh0L5I2ym-JNNFhc2TzZU8_0WiPWkCNZ2BhKaCrAY6H7m6WENx1H9AwOknulF-oSoSNrNTdfD-NwEmcyW8DHjFV9iUY/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Ozzie" width="625" /></a> I came home with my boxes of Peeps, all excited by my plan, but was virtually ignored by our beautiful CEO Miss Ozzie who was busy looking out the window.

Did you know that several brands of spaghetti sauce come in these jars..so they are free! Yaaay! Here’s what I did: <ul><li>First, I added a wax button (from the candle aisle at World Market) to the bottom of my Dollar Tree glass votive holders. Using tongs, I lowered them into the jars and pushed down hard with the tongs to help lock them in place in the center. </li><li>Next, I added six Peeps bunnies around the edges of the jar, between the wall of the jar and the votive holders. I had to use a table knife to push them into position.

Easy peasy! Aren’t they cute? I think they are the perfect festive touch for the Easter season! The candles don't seem to be close enough to the Peeps to cause a problem, however you could use LED candles if you wish. As with any candles, use caution and do not leave them unattended. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMQl82tOsd_bajzMCcjHYPiPeylUiVrZZLyOTX1tuYOYYQW5Id6AsEOCPy0P13p2W6fUv_GI36-yUESFswIs0w7K5nkFACEPsTdLoVvnA8ogftr6ivQ-g1AhHy1xgGPHBOX2el36KwU9fB/s1600-h/CONFESSIONS%252520OF%252520A%252520PLATE%252520ADDICT%252520Peeps%252520Mason%252520Jar%252520Candles2%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Peeps Mason Jar Candles" border="0" height="626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-hvw14on7ls2QmQaUstfhwKCtEkZ35kKdCXRnG1LOte0LtDm3lknEgLe96ZDO664vYpfkgPGZ9peWdoawvxlWHDUnWB-c4s-_OTXOYVMmkt-ygxU2UZ-M3xJ1sDQTn1qWCKwUuhSVGTwV/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Peeps Mason Jar Candles" width="625" /></a> My little grandsons will enjoy seeing these…and I even have some Peeps leftover for me…errr…them to eat!

Easter Fun...Peeps Mason Jar Candles

I have a fun project for you just in time for Easter…my Peeps Mason jar candles! I have been thinking about this one for a while and debating what filler to use. Hmmm…jelly beans? Malted milk eggs? Nothing seemed quite right. Then I was walking through the grocery store today, pondering the problem …

However, I wanted something a little more rustic and simple than the usual Easter decor. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLrW3_VTUo433baMozkdPopCf8j-YGJqsruWiiUoN9NMeyBCJMlJdRUrnQ3-bGzJLfFJdUDoVkxXXI-BCR_FlX2xrXSB_PhJq9zzKV6a-bboju_npfeAB-WhgFO1n9GQJAUq3mbC3Ds-s/s1600-h/Kitty%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Kitty" border="0" height="787" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLthXEwHU-TrezBpSdbKZ1uzBIxwMYc-L77TC_KHTuoGon7WziumYgLjESbI174acHZrGsqvCYS7eqOM95Om20b_VjoonSdCjFkwJ-WyXU_Kwo5zdWbkqOuUFUXp3qFWXERogbOD4iars3/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Kitty" width="595" /></a> So I asked my co-host Miss Kitty to give it her special (and favorite) point of view…upside down! She loves to occasionally look at her world from this position. It seems that she approves! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0P8T-1O8wfF1UWtLumbtJrQkVfNdJsD7BElkxk2J9lgXTnP-Y1iOiga8HTPKQhBIjQbxLhB59v0v0_8PZqAPdAEL-U4ZkmNsY7_ESGkQ29ern-ir0gaawhGT1xqionlw3V4iuWuEU4GlP/s1600-h/Sheep%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Sheep" border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGLbXJqH2Izs7V6xH5oOhPvRxaTiOeINGOtA0_zvlQbGa2NO_PahqWH-iUZN0XDHNhGi6azlDdexKmP4npTjjO5orhL_Jcf_PSWA3l59dJCwVcDfXPMO-1B-1sjzAHg8pIOgFPpQPnFn_E/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Sheep" width="660" /></a>At the heart of my Easter centerpiece is this wonderful rustic lamb that I found at Joss and Main a while back.
