Spring Decor...DIY for cheep cheep!!

I was at Target today and who doesn't love those dollar bins?!  I'd be lying if I said that I didn't!  So since spring and Easter is right around the corner I was looking for anything that might be good in an Easter basket or maybe cute around the house.  I love to decorate for the seasons or holidays!  So I found this square, unfinished box...  Now I didn't get a chance to take a picture cause I was to excited to do what I had in mind.  Then I found this bag of fake eggs (green, my favorite but they also had yellow, pink, and blue) with raffia.  I bought 2 bags of eggs and the box for three bucks and this is what I ended up with .....

I love it!!  What I did to paint the box was, I took gray and white acrylic paint and dry brushed some streaks on each side.  Nothing fancy, just brushed random spots (still seeing the raw box everywhere else).  Then I boiled some water and added a few tea bags.  I painted the tea on over top of the paint and raw parts of the box.  After that dried, I took my steel wool and vinegar mixture (which I always have a stash prepared {it has to sit for like 12-24 hours} cause who wants to wait) and I painted that over the whole box and let it dry.  I sanded each side quickly and threw the raffia and the eggs in.  I had some white fabric left over in my fabric stash and I ripped a piece of that off and tied it around the box.  I think it's adorable!!!  So go grab the stuff at Target before it's all gone!! Heehee!!
