« The Winner of the FolkArt Paint Giveaway... | Main | Tuesday Tutorial: Camo Bead Bracelet »
It’s another week, and many people are looking forward to celebrating Easter on Sunday. Are you excited? A popular thing many people do to celebrate this holiday is to decorate Easter eggs. Now normally most people simply paint their eggs a single color, but if you are feeling a bit more adventurous, try creating this Giraffe Wood Egg. This egg was designed by one of our talented designers, Debbie Saenz. This project does not require a lot supplies, but a few FolkArt paints are a must.
