Today’s post is super sassy and fun! Come on, it’s EGG CANDLES. I will show you how to transform boring eggs in your fridge into a great centerpiece for your table. You can even use them individually if you choose too! Did I mention they smell DELICIOUS!

I bought my blocks of wax from Wal-Mart. Completely affordable!

Take your ice pick and lightly crack a piece of the egg. Then you can start peeling the egg to create a hole at the top.

This is what they will look like when done.

Make sure to rinse out the egg completely. We want to get rid of any egg smell.

I used my burner to melt my wax. If you have a ceramic dish you can do it in the microwave but please be careful. It can get really hot. If you decide to do it in the microwave make sure you do it for a minute, stir it then continue doing that until it is completely melted.

I filled a pretty antique dish with moss that I bought from Hobby Lobby.

Next, lay out your eggs in the moss.

Gently place your wicks in the eggs.

Then start pouring your wax. I used a plastic spoon, it works really good. Once you fill them all up let them sit for a few hours to harden. Trim the wick with scissors and voila!

There you have it. A cute arrangement for any space. Just remember if you make them in different scents that when you light them they might not smell great mixed together. I recommend doing them in one scent if you plan on lighting multiple eggs at a time. I hope you enjoyed this post, see you in the next one Jaderbugs!

I hope you enjoyed bloggy Thursday!

I am so excited to share this post with you today. Do you remember last month when I told you I was doing the 12 months of Martha? Well, we are in the second month and I was super excited about the supplies I received this month. Make sure and add your email in box to the right so you can get everything sent to your email. We wouldn’t want you to miss anything. Plus, I have a giveaway coming up! Today I will show you how to create decor for your home that is affordable and easy. Let’s get started.

*Martha Stewart Decorative Paper
*Martha Stewart Circle Punch
*Hot Glue Gun
*Twine or Nails

You can purchase all of the items I used by clicking on the links.

The twine is optional for hanging purposes.

You can find all of her craft supplies at Michaels Art and Crafts, Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts and Amazon.

This is what your circle punch will look like. You can see where the metal plate fits in the sliding part of the punch and the round piece goes on top of the punch.

This tool is awesome because you can choose the size of the punch before you start. Make sure these numbers line up with the ones in the picture below.

So if you have the side on 10 this part needs to be on 10 also.

Start by placing your paper on top of the circle punch then you put the circle magnet on top of the paper. You will know if it’s in the right spot because the magnet will put it in the right spot.

Take your punch and place it on the top of the removable metal piece that you added in the beginning. If it’s not in the right spot you will know because the magnet will resist. You barely have to press down on the punch because it cuts as soon as it hits the paper.

The round magnet that you have on top of the paper will do the rest of the work for you. Once you do your first punch gently turn the round magnet to the left or right. It will move the paper a little bit but will stop when it’s in the next spot it needs to be in. You will feel it stop in the next notch it belongs in. I’m telling you it’s pretty magical!

Look how pretty it is! I swear each cut is PERFECT.

Grab your hot glue gun and glue them to each other. You will only need a dab of glue on the edge of one then place another one on top of the glue. Remember we want it to look like a collage.

This is what it should start to look like.

I am so pleased with the way this turned out. It’s soft and delicate with an edge. HAHA

Check out what I made with the Martha Stewart yarn line HERE.

Howdy Hoo! Howdy Who? It’s the big night tonight. The Oscar’s! I am sitting here watching them, live tweeting and blogging. Did I mention I ended up getting a Dr. Pepper ( I know, it’s full of sugar that will go to every inch of my body but oh well). I am also having an important conversation with a Hershey’s easter bunny, we are talking privately in my mouth. Let’s get on with this amazing and fun tutorial. I have a feeling you will love it.

We will be making feather pencils, color pencils. I am honored to be a part of the 12 months of Martha and this is one of the 3 crafts I will be featuring this week using all Martha Stewart craft items. I am super giddy about it and I think you will too. Each month I will be sharing with you new items from the Martha Stewart crafts line that is brand spanking new. Today I will be focusing on her yarn with Lion Brand .

You can find all of her products at Michael’s Arts and Crafts, Jo-Anns Fabrics & Crafts and Amazon.com.

*Martha Stewart Yarn
(I am using Gerbera Daisy & Celery)
*Martha Stewart Scissors
*Martha Stewart glue gun
*Feathers
*Colored Pencils
*Jewels
*Lotsa love

Don’t forget to click on the links above to order all of the materials I used!

How beautiful is this picture. Sometimes I get please just viewing my materials.

Make sure when you get to the very bottom of the pencil you dab a little bit of hot glue to secure the end of the yarn. Once the glue is dry you can cut the yarn.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Make sure and check out all of Martha Stewart’s craft’s HERE. Check out other crafts being made by searching for #12monthsofmartha and #marthastewartcrafts on twitter.
