Scrappy Decorative Eggs

We are not usually around for Easter, and honestly, I’m not much of a celebrator, but being stuck at home, the holiday is a potential bright spot for our family. In an attempt to decorate a little, I stuck of bunch of fabric scraps on these plain wooden eggs I’ve had in my stash forever. I think I had originally planned to wood burn them. Also - there were originally 6, but 2 have walked away somehow…anyway, here are my scrappy decorative eggs!

And showing off a different side:

Scraps were applied with ModPodge. I had help from some little hands, and they love seeing their eggs on display!

Niiice! You know I love a scrappy project and these look so colourful and fun. I love the littles had a hand in creating some seasonal display, way to get them engaged in DIY. That’s a habit that can last a lifetime

These are so cheerful and definitely put a smile on my face.

What a nice way to use up scraps! I bet the kids had fun and will remember this Easter!

Fun! (I keep meaning to do something more interesting with the giant stash of plastic eggs… maybe we will glue stuff to them.)

I actually have zero plastic eggs! Was thinking I probably have to break down this year and get some so we can do a proper egg hunt.

Alisa Burke has some really cool ideas for sprucing up eggs. Oh - I just saw she did scrappy fabric ones!

I made some little bunny etc holders out of fabric stash a few years ago, they would work just fine in place of plastic eggs!

YES! I’m so doing this! Thank you!

Ahh, so cool! And the added benefit if they’re used for an egg hunt that if they don’t get found they can’t go bad

Neat! What a great idea.
