 Easter Eggs: How do you make yours?  With Love!

Is the last installment of my

Easter Egg Challenge...

(yipee)

I was tempted to go it alone again &

design my own egg warmers...

(honestly I was)

but then I found

a really cute pattern

from the ladies over at

Pickles.

It's super easy, and the result are

Eggscellent!

 Easter Eggs: How do your make yours? Fabric Tastic

On Monday, I showcased some crocheted  

Easter Eggs

I had designed.

But they didn't really do it for me,

so

I dumped them sharpish.

(all four of them)

This left me close to

breaking the promise

 I made with myself;

to make some Easter Eggs (in time for Easter).

Of course, I could have ignored my promise,

just like

last year & the year before,

but...

Easter without eggs

is just wrong!

 So I had a think.

You can't beat thinking.

 Another thing you can't beat is

Mod Podge. 

If you know how to use it.

Word to the wise,

use thin layers.

Tempting as it is to slap it on all over the place,

you will spend your afternoon peeling it off your desk,

fingers, and out of your hair.

 Trust me on this one.

Anyway,

this particular Easter Egg project

is very easy to make.

All you need is

Styrofoam eggs,

fabric cut into oval slivers (4 per egg)*

glue,

and some trimmings.

* You could also use fabric strips, but I wasn't very successful with strips.

 For the trimmings,

I simply chained (crochet) some long strips

& glued them onto the fabric seams.

Easy az!

To finish you can  

add hanging threads,

but

I chose to pop my eggs into my

birdnest bowl.

 



 
 


  

 
Happy Holidays!

 Easter Eggs: How do you make yours?

Is my attempt to keep the promise I made to myself

last month...

last year...

& the year before that.

 And that is to make my own Easter eggs

(in time for Easter).

Thanks to another bout of insomnia,

I have actually managed to keep that promise

(in part).

 As you can see from my early morning scribblings,

I decided to make my own 'Egg' motif.

Inspite of my awful scribblings, it turns out

I wasn't too far off with my reckonings.

My motifs only needed a

teeny tweak

when I finally got round to trying them out.

I guess working from Edie Eckman's

'Beyond the Square'

for the past year,

has improved more than my crocheting skills.

(woohoo)

Shame I got bored

 after making the fourth egg....

I wonder how else I can make Easter Eggs?
