Full disclosure... these eggs have appeared on my blog before, right in the very first months of starting it - six years ago! You can find the post about the six matching eggs here and the other two eggs here and here.
But my photos left a lot to be desired back then! To be honest, they're not amazing now - but they're bigger on the page at least!
These are made by cutting out two egg shapes from coloured felt and embellishing them by sewing on ribbons and buttons, before sewing the two halves together, stuffing as you go. Sew a ribbon into the top as you sew together, so that they can be hung from branches to decorate a pretty Easter tree.
I made a couple of extra variations using bondaweb to add a bit of fabric to the felt, which added a nice touch (the lilac and paler blue eggs above).
I'm getting quite a collection of decorative eggs... these felt eggs, my multi-coloured crochet eggs, my daisy crochet eggs, and my cute and easy crochet eggs. Slightly excessive one might say?! Nah!

You are very good at the felt creations. I did needle felt an egg this year. Apart from the stabbing of the fingers it is great therapy and the egg turned out quite well. Although I think I am done with the eggs now. xx
ReplyDeleteThey are a cheery bunch of eggs! I can't believe it was 6 years ago that I made them! The needle felted egg sounds nice - you should show it on your blog! Yeah, it does get to a point when you are all egged out! :) xx
