I hate it when I start to question my sanity. Like when I assume that something I see at PB will be on their website and it isn’t and then I start thinking well maybe that’s not where I saw it! I know I saw some floral eggs at PB last week. I was short on time so I just figured they’d be on their website and I could take a closer look. Well no. But I wanted to make them! (insert big stamping foot pout here). Here’s my take on a “I Know I Saw This @ Pottery Barn / Don’t Have A Picture to Show You Egg”:
I started with a package of styrofoam eggs from Michaels. $4.49 before 40% for a package of 4.
And a stem of these silk cherry blossom things for $1.49
Other materials, straight pins and a ginormous bag of “pearls” from my bead stash.
I inserted a screw eye into the top of the egg. Then I popped one of the blossoms (they’re two layers each) off of the stem and threaded it onto a straight pin with a pearl and stuck it into the egg. Went around the whole egg until it was covered and threaded a coordinating ribbon through the screw eye.
So the next time I’m in PB I will remember to sneak pics on my phone! And even though I don’t remember how much PB wanted, I know it was more than the $1.86 my egg cost me to make!

What a cute project. I love copying the expensive work in the store. Some of the prices they want for simple things we can make is incredible. You have to wonder how much they do see. ~~Sherry~~
