EGGS Inspiration

Ok Ok Ok... the above photo is NOT my creation... the one below IS!!



I had to try Martha Stewart's Easter projects and I'd like to share it with you. I think the only thing I didn't do, is use the correct supply. Before I realized this, it was too late. I found the best supply to make a stencil or punch image on these eggs, are Stampin Up's Decor Elements Sheets p.158 (IBC). These are vinyl sheets of transfer tape to punch with and stick onto your eggs. I only used a plain alphabet sticker for scrapbooking... ugh!

Here's a representation of it, I apologize for the imperfectness but I think you get the picture :) But hey, I took some pictures from Martha's magazine so you can really get the picture.

Here's a Step-by-Step:

STEP 1:
If you're using SU! Vinyl sheets, punch your favorite image like a 5 petal flower or your Boho Blossom Punch and peel off the tape and adhere it on the surface of your egg. NOTE: Try to level out the sticker so ink will not go into the creases like mine did... ugh!!!





STEP 2:
Spray the Egg with a Coloring Mist or deep onto your dye. As soon as the egg is dry, peel off your vinyl adhesive and finish off with the name like I did. NOTE: Martha used the traditional dyeing technique with food coloring, vinegar and hot water.




STEP 3:
You can make your own stand. The one you see in the picture is made of craft wire. It's a graceful piece of wirework display inspired by egg holders that were popular a century ago. I wrapped a 20-gauge wire around a pen, flatten the resulting coil to create a series of loops, and then twisted the ends together to form a ring.
