Do you have have any of these hanging around in your Easter stuff? I don't know about you but eggs that do not match-up drive me crazy. And black Easter eggs!?! My kids came back with these last year after an Easter Egg Hunt.
Well don't throw them away, put them to good use. Here are some ideas.
Add them as decor around a candle.
Add them into your Easter arrangements.
Add them to your door knob as a cute decoration.
Create plant stakes out of them. (For these I drilled a hole and put in a meat skewer and then wrapped with floral tape.)
Use them to hang from a
garland.
And not to be forgotten is the little purple egg nesting on
my "G" in
Spring.
Here is the 411 on how to make them. Some of the eggs you will need to drill holes into. (The ones that you would like to hang or create plant stakes with).
If hanging, you will need to string this through before you start to cover the egg. I tied a little knot so that it did not accidentally come out. I also left a very long end coming out the other side, this way if the string got icky I could just pull it through and cut off the icky part. BTW I used hemp as my string.
The next step is to tear your paper into small pieces and then start applying piece by piece using mod podge. (This is my pink egg on the garland, the holes were drilled on the sides verse the ends.)
When you are done you will have beautiful eggs to decorate with.
