Lanterns make for great centerpieces because their designs are so varied.
Pick a lantern from your local dollar store, along with fake nest and eggs.
You would also need a wood slice to serve as your nests base.
I like buying the wood slice packs likethisso that I can use the rest for other craft projects.
Put all your elements together, and you have a beautiful, spring-themed lantern centerpiece.

Art Deco Straw Mirror
Recreating this art-deco piece is pretty simple.
Before heading to the dollar store, check the pantry for any unused straws you may have.
Cut a circular pattern on a piece of cardboard for the base.
Glue the straws following a circular and alternating length pattern.
I used a metallic rose gold finish, which I foundhere.
Once the glue and paint have dried, attach your mirror atop the straw collage.
Add a hanging fixture behind your craft, and voila, instant art-deco mirror!
Of course, we can always use the label making machines.
Heres a super affordable solution to that.
