fluffyknickers Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Thought I would put this on here. The eggs are really easy to make and good fun too. Just blow the eggs - the hole will be covered by ribbon so dont worry. paint the eggs - i like using tester pots from any diy place or any you have laying around If you want to add extra decoration then use something like pretty tissue paper, something from a pack of hankies, coloured tissue etc vut out the shape and stick it on the egg with glue such as PVA or any glue that will dry clear. Then once dry you can coat the whole of the egg with the glue or varnish if you have some. Once dry stick some ribbon round the egg covering the hole you made to blow it. make a loop and glue it on and you can make a little bow too to cover the joins and stick it on. Sorry this is late for this year but you can make them anytime you like! Some pictures below and Edited April 10, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 That's lovely. I intended to do one but have only got as far as a fabric egg and wooden chickens on mine. May do some tonight now I've seen yours. Very pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmommasally Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 They're lovely. I think I'll have a go at these for next year. This may be a dumb question as I've never tried blowing an egg before but can you use the contents of the eggs you blow? I've made some Easter Bunting this year to decorate my conservatory, I'm quite pleased with it - it looks really pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshinesupernova Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I LOVE your easter tree - I'd have that out all year round ! Did you paint the chicks and rabbits or were they transfers ? Very very very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 No I didnt paint them, just find nice tissues and cut out the shapes and stick them on! Love the bunting bigmommasally. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 That bunting is so pretty are you going to keep it up for the summer. Thanks Plum - No it has to come down today - some of the fabric has chicks and bunnies on so its a bit too eastery to keep up all year. I think I may make some more though for summer and have it up in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshinesupernova Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I think your egg tree is FAB. Did you make the tree part too ? It is however way way beyond my capabilities at crafts - I'm next to useless in that queue ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
