wooden eggs from target

February 25, 2022

painted wooden Target egg

I love to shop at Target.  Like many of us, I always have to stop and browse the bargain bins at the store’s entrance.  It is so fun to find a life-changing item that costs a mere $1. or $3!

All the Easter items are starting to emerge and I was excited, on my last Target excursion, to find a box of 6 wooden Easter eggs in the front bins.

I knew it would be fun to decorate these plain wooden eggs.  I recently acquired a really cool vintage Easter basket at a thrift shop and I knew one of the wooden eggs would fit nicely inside it.

I took out some Easter décor a few days ago and I had put the vintage basket in my bathroom because I thought it looked great against the backdrop of Anna Rifle wallpaper I had in that room.

Now that I brought the wooden eggs home, I knew I would paint one of them for the now empty basket sitting next to the bathroom sink on my vanity.  I would just paint a loose interpretation of what was on the wallpaper.  Perfect!  And then I would still have 5 eggs left to decorate!  Maybe I will decoupage a couple of them or maybe add a little gold leaf bunny on one!

That bargain bin inspires so many great ideas!

Pick up a pack of wooden eggs, or one of the many other decor items, and have some fun!

Thanks for stopping by!
