2 Unique Book Ideas!

A Creative Princess made a stylish clock out of 3 books like she had seen in a Redbook magazine! Wouldn't this book clock look so cute on a shelf?

Turn an old book into a perfect spot for a bird nest! Holy Craft created a beautiful mantle with this bird nest book being an intergral part of the display!

These were linked up to the Whatever Goes Wednesday party!

Eggs and Nest Spring Mantel

I'm drooling over this spring mantel at Craftberry Bush! It's gorgeous. The white on white with little touches of blue is so pretty. The framed faux eggs and shadowboxes are beautiful. You've got to go over to this post to check out how the faux eggs were made and see all the pictures of the spring decor!

Bird Nest Specimen Art

Specimen art is one of the trends going around. This bird nest specimen art made of burlap is ridiculously fantastic! They look like rosettes, but with the addition of the bird eggs, they look like nests. LOVE IT! Midwestern Sewing Girl has this beauty on her blog.

Nest Napkin Rings

These spring nest napkin holders from Scissors and Spatulas would be perfect for a spring or Easter luncheon or a tablescape. They are super simple to make and inexpensive too!

Spring Nest Chandelier

I love what The V Spot has done with an old brass chandelier! She turned it into spring nest decor! Her's is outdoors, but it could work inside too. You've really got to check this one out (and notice how she changes for different seasons and holidays)! Adorable!!!!

Primitive Spring Apothecary Jars

I knew nests in apothecary jars would "spring" up this time of the year! I saw these one at A Diamond In The Stuff. You know what I love about these apothecary jars? They are made out of mason jars (candlesticks and a finial)!!! Totally cool for a low budget craft.

Cloche Nest

With it officially being Spring on Sunday, we can all start decorating with our spring decor. How about making a faux bird's nest in a cloche like The Cellar Door Stories! The cloche was formerly a cheese dome. It oh so easy and adorable.

4 Reader's Submissions

.

I get a lot of submission for awesome projects. I love it and I hate it. I love it because there is no way I can view all the amazing blogs, ideas and projects out there. I hate it because I can't possibly feature them all and I feel badly about that.

.

Here are a few of the submissions I've received lately.

.

Turn those plastic Easter eggs into beautiful speckled eggs for your spring decor. See how The V-Spot made these faux robin's eggs.

It's not too late to make a Lucky in Love shirt for you or a little one using this idea from My Own Road. Or you can save this idea for next year!

Born Again Crafter created this awesome wreath using old book pages. It only cost her $.45 to make! What a steal. See the book page wreath.

HoneyBear Lane turned an inexpensive store-bought clock into a Crate and Barrel knock-off clock. Love the colors and the big numbers.
