repurposed bird feeder: Easter craft

I am taking a little bloggy break this week, but don’t worry, I have several guest posters lined up. You won’t want to miss a thing! Today, I have Aimee from Fancy Little Things showing us a super-fun Easter craft!

Hello friends of Kelli! thank you so much for hosting me today!! I am here representing a lovely blog called Fancy Little Thingsthat I was inspired to start just 1 year ago – and has grown into 9 amazing authors, 11 weekly topics, intentional posting to pour out some lovely into your lives! we have just recently re-branded with my graphic design business, byAimee.com to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and to inspire more women in faith. please stop by say hello!!

today I am sharing a fun project for the kiddos {or for adults that like having fun with their Easter candy}. more than 20 years ago I made one with my mom and will teach you how with just a few materials, some patience and a few bags of jelly beans.

a few simple materials:

Chick feeder {I bought mine at Tractor Supply for $3.99}

Ball canning jar or similar mouth size

Cheap primer spray paint {$1.82 at Wal-Mart}

Acrylic paints in your favorite colors

Paint brushes

2 bags of jelly beans!!

step #1: primer the chick feeder

step #2: add your design – feel free to copy my polka dots. they are so lovely, right?

step #3: be patient to let the paint completely dry

step #4: fill the base with jelly beans and the jar with jellybeans – carefully place the jar on top of the chick feeder and screw on securely.

simple enough, right??

each monday I post a new DIY project post.. and April’s theme is green living. interested to see the materials I’ll be using?? read about it here!

then, come find me on the many social media avenues:

Thanks, Aimee! These are totally cute and any kid would love them! (ha, I bet any adult would love them!) Be sure to go check out Aimee’s blog- it’s so pretty and refreshing!
