When I was lurking shopping at Pottery Barn recently, I spotted these Vintage Paper Eggs.
I thought they were the most adorable little eggs ~ then looking at the price tag $19.00 for six paper eggs...eeekkk! I set them back down on the table. Then the wheels in my crafty little brain started turning!
I returned home to Craft Central and went to The Graphics Fairy! I used four of her Easter vintage images and made eight of my own little hanging eggs!
I printed three images for each egg on cardstock. Used an oval template and cut them out. Folded them in half, glued them together, added some glass beads (instead of glitter) and then added the gold cord and bead on top! ~Easy~
The Willow Tree is - branches from Michaels, they were $1.29/ea. and I used three for the tree.
Everything I needed to make this paper egg project was in my craft closet, so this didn't cost me anything! For $19.00 I could probably make about 200 of these ~ but eight is enough!!!
