Last Saturday Jessie came over and we colored Easter Eggs.  And of course we couldn’t leave it at that!  Here’s 3 that we decked out in some Easter finery:

Jessie went in search of an abandoned bird’s nest, but no such luck, so she made this little nest of dried grasses.

Each egg is decorated with May Arts 1/2″ Loop Trim, 1/8″ Silk Ribbon and Prima roses, both Fairytale and Avon Roses.

We ran 1/8″ Scor Tape around the egg vertically, making it super easy to apply the trim just by laying it on top of the tape.

Then we used Aleene’s glues to adhere the little silk bow and the roses.

And here they are again!  Quick, easy, fun and pretty!

Items used are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store as linked above.
