I am making a Spring Wreath and decided these eggs would be the perfect accent for it. Of course, I have to put my own spin on things! I used real eggs, blown out, and I dyed them using RIT Dye.
I poked a tiny hole in the top and a slightly larger hole in the bottom using a nail. Then I gently broke up the yolk using a skewer and blew it out.
While they were dyeing and then drying, I created the letters using my Silhouette Cameo. I did a test cut for one letter on paper to make sure I was happy with the size. Then I cut the letters out of black adhesive vinyl.
Finally, I applied the letters and attached the eggs to the twine loops using hot glue. (I decided to use the twine loops after I had taken the materials photo)
On Friday, I will show you how I displayed the eggs on the Spring Wreath.
