Lettered Eggs

 

This was simple and fun to do.

I started with the basic paper mache egg.  ($0.80 at Hobby Lobby)  I painted it Robin’s egg blue.  Tutorial here.

I painted some plain terra cotta pots a verdigris finish.  Inside the top rim, I added a thick line of hot glue and immediately stuck some moss on it.

I set the eggs on top while the glue was setting.

I tied black and white gingham fabric around the top and into a bow.

The scalloped circles are actually bolos (don’t laugh!), the old-school western kind.  I glued some chip-board letters on top to disguise them.

The bunny silhouettes were another thrift store find.

The lanterns are filled with painted chocolate bunnies,

painted eggs, and toile wrapped votives.
