Decorative Easter Eggs (2)
Finished Decorative Easter Egg
These Decorative Easter Eggs are made in the same way those in my last post were (click here for the instructions) , but I have taken the design a step furthur, adding some jewels and other elements.
The enhancements can be simple, such as adding some self adhesive rhinestones to the design, as is seen in the blue patterned egg below, or more involved, as in the pink decorative egg shown above.
The pink egg (made using the instructions in the last post) was decorated as follows:
The silver spirals are made by inserting a small silver scrapbooking brad (split pin) into the egg. I then applied some white glue in a small circle around the brad, and some silver coloured craft thread was then wound carefully around the brad in a circular pattern, adhering it to the glue. I let each dry before adding the next one... etc.
Once I had finished adding the silver spirals, I filled in the gaps around these with a variety of rhinestones of different shapes and sizes, again using white glue to adhere them. It is best to do one section of the egg at a time, and let it dry before starting the next section, so that the rhinestones that are drying cannot be knocked off.
