This is an
Easter craft that can be done by adults
and kids (with help from an adult), then enjoyed for many years. It is also great on
easter baskets or to give to someone special.
Materials needed
Any spare
fabric you have
Thread
Needle
Egg
template (google)
Ribbon
Trace egg
template on wrong side of material. You will need two cut pieces for one egg.
Cut out
material into egg shape.
If you
want to embroider a name on your egg do this on one half of your egg before pinning
your two egg halves together. A name can either be put on by machine or hand.
Place right
sides together.
Place a
piece of ribbon between both pieces.
Pin your
egg halves together and sew by machine or hand. Leave approx. a 1 inch opening
to turn your egg inside right. I used a ¼ in seam allowance. Back stitch both at the beginning and end so
that when you turn your egg inside right it will not come apart.
I did one for all the kids & grandkids.
Once your
egg is right side out carefully stuff your egg with pillow stuffing to get your
desired fullness.
Sew the
opening closed using a hidden stitch or a whip stitch.
Done!! Happy Easter
Bet this took some time to complete... very effective.
