1. Blow out eggs, rinse and allow to dry
2. Measure height and circumference of egg (this one measured 3″ x 5″)
3. Cut piece of paper with those dimensions adding 1/4″ to both height and length
4. Measure and mark 5mm lines
5. Fold paper vertically towards the left as shown
6. Fold paper horizontally upwards as shown (paper is now folded in quarters)
7. Cut along the drawn lines, leaving the centre untouched
8. Cut ‘points’ to the top of the slits
9. Open up paper
10. Apply glue to the uncut area of the paper
11. Wrap paper around egg
12. Carefully apply glue to every slit and glue down one by one
I found the fabric was much easier to handle than the paper as it molded easier around the egg. After doing two eggs I stopped measuring and marking the lines and simply just cut free form.
Today we decorated more eggs in a more traditional way. We had a lot of fun being creative and can’t wait to show you one particular little guy….:)
And now, I would like to announce the
NEW WINNER of the Pleated Poppy gift credit…
Well, keeping it short again today but with a big ‘thank you’ for stopping by.
much love,
Lucy

I got stopped at the blown eggs part. I’m thinking to just use wooden eggs or plastic:-0
Love the idea though I am going to use some plastic ones I have a ton of them thank u for sharing your tutorial
Your eggs are adorable!

YAY, I won….what do I need to do now? 😀
Oh- Those are so cute. Looks like you are more ambitious than I am…although I might try the fabric patch ones. THOSE look pretty easy. Can’t wait to see the ones you have still to show us. And, congrats to the new winner. Hope SHE shows up to claim the prize! xo Diana
