Newsprint Easter Eggs

6:00:00 AM

Today I'm thinking about eggs.


My Spring decorating already includes a few eggs, 
cute little blue bird eggs.

I'm thinking however, Spring decorating might include some other fancy eggs.

In my "Spring box" I found some fabulous eggs. 
I'm adding my Amazon affiliate links so you can purchase the products I use at no additional cost to you. 

I have brown paper eggs...


crackled eggs...


 and textured eggs...


 even Russian eggs...


If that wasn't enough eggs, I thought I'd try these...

I started out using the brown paper eggs.



Then I cut up some old book pages into little pieces...


Got out my Mod Podge...
And began gluing the pieces to the egg.

 It honestly took a lot of smoothing to get the paper to lay flat.
Then I let them dry.
Pretty cute!
A coat of Modge Podge as a sealer, and we're done!
More eggs to add to the collection!

It's an egg-stravaganza!

These little lovelies were featured on Celebrations.com!

I love to repurpose cast-offs into one of a kind treasures. I like to think outside of the box​ ​and ​I ​hope to bring a new creative perspective to others.

    Love book print and music print on about anything. I bought a small box last summer, simply because of the print on it. (It combined two of my faves- little objects and print!) So did I love teaching because of both of these? Mayhaps!
