OH TYNK-you ROCK girl! I just saw that you were hosting this same swap in one of your other groups (which i don't belong to and did not think i should join since i cannot even sew a button on!) and now here is the same swap---yay!!! These are so pretty and just in time for my fireplace mantel spring decorating! Thanks so much for hosting it for this great group too!

Ok...I'm covered in glue, but these are so fun! I'm in:)

Tynkerbelle 03/16/2011 #

lol @luleemik isnt that the best part...i want pictures..haha

OK> Color me stupid. PUN! Are these real (blown) eggs or possibly wooden eggs from a craft store???

Tynkerbelle 03/18/2011 #

@Bridget you can use the plastic eggs that are intended for easter baskets or you can find styrofoam shaped eggs in the crafty store as well as wooden ones

I personally like the plastic eggs light weight and right now can be found most anywhere....hope that helps

I was wondering the same thing, Bridget! I bet those wooden eggs would work nicely. Plastic eggs never seem to want to work right with me for some reason. I think that Hobby Lobby offers them in a paper mache, too and that would be lightweight.

Yes it is a bit hard to get the glue to stick very well on the plastic..i found if you spray paint them with a matte finish gives you a better base to alter...just a small tip

What would be the best way to ship? Would a bubble envelope work?

Tynkerbelle 03/29/2011 #

i would say bubble envie or a small box since they should be relatively light
