How to make ticking stripe Easter eggs
Let's talk about the supplies needed for these tattered eggs. Always check
your local craft stores for the best prices, I'm including Amazon links below
for your convenience.
Supplies:
- craft eggs
- ticking stripe fabric (1/8 of a yard should be enough)
- hot glue
- scissors
optional needed for tag
- canvas drop cloth or muslin scraps
- small alphabet stamps
- permanent ink
- rusty safety pin
The steps to make these primitive style eggs couldn't be easier, but I'll share a few tips below to help you achieve success!
Tips for success
- Tear, don't cut, your fabric into strips about 3/4" inch wide. This will give you perfectly tattered and frayed edges with very little effort.
- Go easy on the glue. A couple small dabs will be enough to secure the fabric to the eggs.
- Wrap eggs with fabric the long way. Slightly overlap the pieces to fully cover eggs.
Stamp a small fabric tag (be sure to tatter the edges too!) and attach
to a single egg with a rusty safety pin. Pile eggs into an ironstone bowl,
wicker basket or tray to show them off!
Happy crafting!
