eggs for Easter



a little special egg tutorial...
you will need:
styrofoam egg
scissors
glue
pins
lace
ribbons
millinery flowers


i first glued a piece of gathered lace around the bottom half of the egg


i pleated it into the base of the egg, & glued it in place. then i began gluing lace around the top half of the egg...start from the top & spiral downwards, its much easier, oh & you dont have to glue any right at the top as there will be ribbons etc covering this part


then pin{or glue} a length of ribbon to the centre of the top.


you can simply tie a bow with several pieces of ribbon, or, as i did, fold the ribbon into 3 pieces{for the right side} then fold the left side into 3 pieces{large/smaller/smallest}, then either pin or glue into place. add some flowers, feathers, a button or gem & voila!




these little eggs would look so dashing hanging & twinkling


around the home


loveliest Easter wishes
