Tuesday Tutorial - Egg Decorating Ideas

It's that time again... time to boil some eggs and make some pretty creations to adorn your Easter baskets.

I found lots of ideas to get us started. The first ones I'm showing are decorated by using melted crayons. Find the instructions at Full Circle.



The next ones are sooo cool... wait, I meant Kool. Yep, they're dyed with Kool-Aid. (bet they smell good too). Instructions can be found at www.heyjenrenee.com



These are a little more realistic looking and so so pretty. Instructions are available at www.southernliving.com



How about decoupaged eggs? It's hard to believe these are made from paper napkins from the dollar store. Complete instructions can be found at www.brownpaperpackagesep.blogspot.ca


Do you need tips on how to boil eggs? Check out the instructions we posted last year... How to make perfect hard boiled eggs.

Thank you for joining us!

Organizing ----- Fabric Folding and Storage

I have been folding my fabric over cardboard which ends up kind of messy.   You need pins and cardboard or you can buy plastic boards to fold it over but this method is free and easy and so much neater.
