Thrift Store Urn Mini Makeover

by Okio B Designs - June 21, 2011

I picked up this silver urn at our local church thrift store last week. (Is it an urn or an ewer - I'm not sure so someone please correct me if I'm calling it by the wrong name.) Anywho, I love, love, love having bird's nests and eggs through out my house. Put two and two together and you get this:

I added some faux nest material to the urn and added the three eggs on top.

Then I tied some tea-stained seam binding around it. I think it gives it a nice simple touch of color and now I have a new way to display my eggs!
