DIY Easter, Spring, Orioles Decorations with Gina Tepper
Thank you, Darencia, and you said it really well. Today is a great day to do crafts. And the great thing about Gina Tepper is that she actually brings in things that are in her own home. There are very few things you actually need to go out and buy, but here they show us spring and more. Is that the opening day? Yes, he is adorable and it was fun to make the first day. It's so much fun. But let's do it for Easter. Let's have Easter first. Yes, here it is. all. Yes, everything I have here is pretty much what you have. Look around your house. You probably have one too. So it's raining here. Therefore, there will be many branches on the ground. So let's make cherry blossoms. Oh, these are actual branches. branch? Yes, it is. And I know that a lot of these are artificial flowers and some of these were made from tissue paper that I just painted and put in there. That's really good. You are patient. It's really fun. I did that, did some things with her daughter and we had flowers here. OK, a small flower box. Yeah. This is a tissue box. This is craft, um, foam. craft form. Okay, that's it. And I just cut it. These are cans. you. It's amazing what you can do with cans. Okay, just slow down a little bit. I would like to introduce Bunny here. Because it's adorable. A method that allows you to decorate on the spot using only cans. Yeah. The can is here. Then we made Easter baskets out of cans. Now, this is takeout. Oh, and there's no handle or cork. Okay, perfect. I made this. Wait, it's like a wine cork. Understood. that's it. I drew this, and this one here is also a can that I made. Okay. Lift it up slowly. yes. Let's ask Chris to take a picture of her. Okay. And it's fresh out of the can. And what's that top part? This is a cup. here it is. Oh, look. Yes, this is the top part of it. Yeah. And I added something like a small ribbon to the painted thing. Yeah. And this is great. This is the craft foam we have here, and you just need to stick it on the inside of the handle. Just take the handle and make the handle like that. There are instructions on how to make this in bulk. Create your website step by step and learn how. Let's talk. Leave the Faberge eggs alone. Now let's talk about how we made it. Understood. This involved just getting an expensive plastic egg and painting it. Or, it may be sparkly like this and covered with a ribbon or something. That's all you need to do. It's really, really easy. Or, if you don't have glitter, you can also use glitter paint. This is great. And I always love this flower. Actually, I spent a year making these with my daughter when she was little. These are so much fun and so easy to do. Yeah. bottle of water. Yeah. bottle of water. That's all. And this, this is baseball, this is fluffy paint. I just drew it. oh. Oh, that's good. that's it. You can make these baseball flowers and it's so much fun. You can place it on your desk or in a small gift bag. Yeah. gift bag wonderful. And that's it. Yeah. Thread craft is OK. And you can print decals like those little orioles there. oh yeah. That's how you did it. You printed it. That's what I did. Now let's talk about your cookie holders. Because this is the brilliance of genius. How did you make the top part of this? This is just, uh, like a stick, uh, dowel. Yes, you can get this. I made this little grid because it looks like Camden Yards. It looks like it does just that. It looks like metal here. I printed out the top and used puffy paint and silver. right. And this is just Styrofoam. Styrofoam. Here it is. This is the bottom cereal box. what. OK, I cut it, I opened it. The great thing about this is that I printed out the opening day. Once you've created this, you can print anything you like. Every time I have a party, I put something new there. Understood. Because I'm not very good at that. How do I find a place to print it? Where do I go? I just took a Google image. Understood. that's all. And if you're there, you can take that photo and use yours. That's a good idea. That's even better. Here is your centerpiece, our little oriole bird. How did you make it? This is fun. Yes, the hat was my favorite part. where is my stuff? this is. . . was. This is like a small fruit cup. Yeah. and. Yes, I just glued the parts together. This is craft foam. Oh, it's a Styrofoam ball. But did you know? He's not round. So I dabbed it with tissue paper. And this, this is just, uh, fleece fabric. I didn't want to touch it. I just cut off my finger. This, um, is there a paper towel holder in here? Yes, of course it is. Oh, this is actually a wrapping paper roll, which I didn't want. The can is too big. Understood. How do you make it so sturdy? they are at the bottom. Now, what I did was I made a slightly smaller jelly cup. Then I put a stone in there. Ah, I understand. Yeah. So he gained some weight. Yeah. That's what I did. And from here on it's a lot of fun. This is actually quite simple. I didn't actually make the clothes. I just rolled it up and glued it. Yes, make a beak and eye pattern. If someone wants to make it. So I'll probably post it tomorrow. So I took your photo and put it side by side with the one I was making. Because that way I know I can do exactly what you do. And he only has about 20 seconds left, so I want to go get his cute little Easter basket here. Now, if many of you have something like a plain brown Easter basket, dress it up and paint it gold. Because it's really luxurious and very elegant. And I think metallics really make things. That makes it pop. Yeah. It becomes pop. Gina, you were absolutely amazing. Gina Tepper.
