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
bird nest bowl.

Adorable! I love the crochet trim too.
Lovely! Simple and so pretty.
Totally brilliant, Heidi! I’ve got a jar of Modpodge waiting for something to do… lovely ideas as always 🙂
Thank you all! Now the holidays are over I can go back to thinking about making another scarf.
xh
Those are really cute!!!!. The nest is cuter.
How large were the ovals?
That’s a good question. I don’t have any notes other than the ones on the blogpost (6 years ago), but I think I used some string to measure the dimensions of the foam eggs and drew up an oval from that, and then used scrap fabric to test the sizing.
