Here's what you need: cheap plastic eggs
fabric scraps (I used leftover fabric from my daughter's headboard)
hot glue gun
Cut your fabric width to be long enough to wrap around the egg lengthwise.
Cut 1/2 notches in your fabric.
Tear your fabric apart at each notch. This will give the fabric a frayed, shabby look.
Starting at the bottom of your egg, add a dab of hot glue.
Stick an end of your fabric strip onto the glue and wrap and glue around your egg.
Keep adding your fabric strips until the egg is covered.
Like so. Now make more!
Aren't they fun? And SO easy!!
I placed them in a jar with burlap as the 'nest'.
So springlike. Like robin eggs in a nest.
Enjoy an easy afternoon craft that makes your home a little more festive!!
Have a marvelous Monday!

I bought some cheap styrofoam eggs that I was thinking of covering in fabric and placing in a jar. I guess great minds think a like. I like how you tore the fabric so it's "shabby-er"
Pretty! This is SO easy and it looks so nice! Love the bright blue :)
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the blue at Easter :) I would love it too if you would come and share at Toot Your Horn Tuesday link party going on right now at Debbie Does Creations.
