Happy Easter!

I woke up this morning 

with the worst case of Easter Craft Fever ever!

(Shall I tell you it was only 5.30 when that happened? ... Mmmm. No. Better not.)

*

But with thoughts of happy eggs and such racing through my head,

sleeping was no longer an option, 

and so I skipped out of bed and got straight to work!

*

Thus it happened that when the sun came up 

I was sitting at the kitchen table,

sipping my third cup of coffee,

facing a dressed up egg with facial hair...

And since I had so much fun making this little egg man,

I decided to write a Tutorial,

to let you all share in the Easter FUN!!

*

So this is what you need:

hard boiled eggs,

egg cups,

pieces of pretty paper

scissors

glue

(masking) tape 

paint or markers

*

 And this is what you do: 

Cut the different shapes out of pieces of happy coloured paper

(a half circle and a dot for the party hat, the collar and the bow tie for the cup)

Roll the half circle up to create a cone, and glue.

(Alternatively you can use a piece of (masking) tape to do this...)

Then glue the happy dot to the tip of the party hat,

for that extra fancy touch!

*

Using a piece of tape, attach the collar to the cup.

I used masking tape to do this,

allowing the pattern of the tape to become part of the costume...

* 

Decorate the bow tie.

(Once again you could use some of that pretty tape...)

 And when the Bow is Beautiful as can be,

stick it onto the collar with a tiny drop of glue!

*

Et voilà... All done!
