Any good home decorating contests worth entering?
Anyone know of any good home Decorating contests I can enter? I’d like to redecorate my bedroom in my home. Maybe one in which they come in and redecorate for you, but any will do.
An obvious one is hgtv. I think they are currently launching a dream home give away contest. Although, I think that’s a little different than what you mean. However, here’s the link:
http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/dream_home_2008/text/0,,HGTV_30596_65579,00.html
You could also try a site called Furniture for Small Spaces. They’re doing a small contest for people who have small bedrooms. The rewards are much smaller but the chance of winning is much greater and it might be fun to enter:
http://contest.furniture-for-small-spaces.com
If those aren’t enough, you could also try contest directories. They usually have a section for the home which might list other contests.
I hope that helped!

How To Decorate Easter Eggs
Check out this cool app and learn guitar – http://howc.st/howcastgtrapp
Expand the description and view the text of the steps for this how-to video.
Check out Howcast for other do-it-yourself videos from Jordana_Giorgio and more videos in the Easter Crafts category.
You can contribute too! Create your own DIY guide at http://www.howcast.com/videos/new or produce your own Howcast spots with the Howcast Filmmakers Program at http://www.howcast.com/filmmakers/apply.
Make your Easter eggs little oval works of art.
To complete this How-To you will need:
Eggs
A saucepan
Newspapers
Old clothes
Large paper cups
Vinegar
Dye tablets or food coloring
Wax crayon
Tape or rubber bands
Stickers or rubber cement
An egg dipper, slotted spoon, or tongs
Empty egg cartons
Fruits and vegetables for natural dyes
Vegetable oil
Step 1: Hard-boil the eggs
Put eggs in a saucepan, add water until they’re covered, and gently bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for ten minutes. Remove from the heat completely and add very cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 2: Cover up
Put newspapers over your table or workspace so you don’t get dye on it, and change into something you won’t mind getting stained. Decorating Easter eggs can get messy!
Step 3: Ready the dye
Fill some large paper cups halfway with hot water. Then add a teaspoon of vinegar and the dye tablets, which will dissolve. Don’t have dye tablets? Add one teaspoon of food coloring into each cup of water and vinegar.
Tip: Try natural dyes. In a pan, arrange the eggs in a single layer and cover them with water. For red, add fresh beets; blue, canned blueberries; yellow, ground turmeric; green, fresh spinach. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15 minutes.
Step 4: Make your mark
Write or draw something on the egg with a white wax crayon before putting it into the cup. The wax resists the dye, so once the egg is colored, you’ll clearly see what you wrote.
Step 5: Add stripes
Put electrical tape around the egg, or simply put a rubber band—or several—around it before placing in the cups. When it’s dyed, remove the tape or rubber bands and you’ll have fun stripes!
Step 6: Make patterns
Add some stickers or brush some rubber cement onto the egg before you place it in the dye. When you remove the egg, simply peel off the stickers or hardened rubber cement and you’ll get interesting, creative patterns.
Step 7: Dye it
Place an egg into each cup. Leave it in for five to 20 minutes or as long as it takes to achieve your desired look. The longer it soaks, the darker it will be.
Tip: Add a teaspoon or so of vegetable oil into some of the cups of dye. The oil prevents the dye from sticking to certain spots on the egg, so when you remove it you get interesting designs and patterns.
Step 8: Remove
Using an egg dipper, slotted spoon, or tongs, take the eggs out of the cups and place them in an empty egg carton to dry.
Step 9: Enjoy
Hide your eggs for an egg hunt, put them in baskets, or simply peel your new creations and enjoy!
