craftyhunnypie Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I need to pick your brains!!! I'm in charge as you know of my local W.I. .... In March I am to do a demo & make an Easter decoration with my members. I really am picking my brains for ideas, as most things seem very very child orientated & / or centered around eggs. I want something easy, effective & that we can make in about an hour to an hour and a half. Any ideas or help much appreciated! Thanks a lot.

Lesley Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How about Hollow Sugar Eggs? - if you Google there are lots of tutorials.....and they don't have to be as garish as most of them seem to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Ooo those sound interesting. I will google!!! Do you think they would set in time for the ladies to take them home with them? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 At one of our WI craft workshops we made decoupage eggs - using pretty paper napkins (top layer only) and modge-podge or PVA glue to stick on to the polystyrene eggs you can get from craft shops, then a small length of narrow ribbon affixed by a beaded pin so you can hang them up. Very quick, easy, satisfying and effective (if a little messy) and also cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Done decoupage not so long ago with the birds we all made. I am still struggling with what to make. I've googled loads, but a lot of crafts are so kiddie orientated. Help!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just had a look on Pinterest, and have a few suggestions. A twig wreath with some decoupage or painted or dipped in glitter eggs (basically, decorated eggs) http://[http://pinterest.com/pin/272960427387214287//url] Egg decorated in flowers http://www.blissbloomblog.com/2011/03/easter-eggs-flowered.html?m=1 Twig tree with decorated eggs http://pinterest.com/pin/98445941826534409/ Paint chart egg garland http://pinterest.com/pin/25895766577431738/ Reverse stencil eggs http://spoonful.com/crafts/how-make-leaf-print-eggs Hope there is something of use there! I know I have got some inspiration from it Edited to say, or if you want something different, not really to do with Easter, how about this http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-clay-jewelry-dish/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Oh yes and the leaf resist eggs. They would be sure to go down well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Cor thanks! I love the leaf resist eggs. I think I'm going to go with those, plus whilst they are drying, we can make some paint chart egg garlands! Thanks so much! Emma.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
