Perfectly Marbled Eggs DIY

I used to see marbled eggs on the internet and always wondered how they got them so perfect...Mine were never that perfect until I discovered the trick!  It's all about wiping away your colorant BEFORE you pull them from the water.  Check it out in the video below.  Marble away, sweet friends, and always Make Your Mark!
Love the vintage color combos!  Reminds me of the marbled balloons at the summer fair.
So much prettier than the plain colored plastic eggs!
Everything I used for this project:

I used the plastic craft eggs because I want to display these for Easter!

Egg-cellent!
Happy Easter everyone!

Marbled Thrift Store Lamp DIY!

I love a good thrift store find, don't you?  Who can resist a big white lamp for $5 bucks?  I certainly can't!  I decided to see if my spray paint marbling technique would work on this huge lamp base and to my great joy, it did.  While I was at it, I decided to give the lampshade a little makeover, too.  Why stop just at the base?  If you find a lamp that will work for this project and it's not already white, just spray paint it.  Have fun!
