decoupage eggs

Inspireco has a wonderful tutorial on making these paper covered eggs.






Instead of old books, I tore up bits up old pattern instruction sheets. (I tried the pattern tissue too, but it looked awful over brightly colored plastic eggs - even yellow.) A few have some vintage millinery flowers.



I dipped into the vintage button stash for others.




They look darling in the china cabinet. I'd love to make more to have a whole bowl of these for next year. So far, I have eight.

I started making an Easter wreath but didn't get to finish it before last weekend. I had planned to decoupage the egss with scrapbook paper.
By the way, the girls Easter dressed were beautiful. I did one the year Alli was 4. The dress underneath was red gingham check and the apron over it was white with eyelet trim.

but you could have guessed that.
