Eggciting Eggs

Yesterday, my friend and neighbor, Krystal, came over and we decorated eggs for Easter. There are so many fabulous egg decorating tips from Martha Stewart right now, and I have been wanting to do them all! We decided to make these daffodil eggs and some decoupage eggs. The daffodil eggs took a little longer than expected so I didn't have time to venture to the golden eggs (spray painted) or the egg ribbons to hang as decoration. I think the coolest part about doing these things the Martha way, is that you blow all your eggs out and then dye them using a water/vinegar/food coloring mix. So easy, and you can make any combination of colors you want!




Don't they look sooo cute? Technically, since they are blown out, you can save them to use forever, but I don't want to have to deal with being careful in storing and moving them. I'll just make more next year! The supplies are so cheap!

About a week ago, I did these thread-wrapped eggs, patterned after the ones debuted in this month's Martha. They weren't hard at all and her instructions are self explanatory.


**My tip to copying her creations - Follow her instructions to a tee. Plus, if you have something (an 'ingredient', etc.) that isn't exactly what she says to use but you think it will 'work' - experiment with the knowledge that the result isn't going to look as good because it wasn't done with exactly the same 'ingredients'.
