Fabric Covered Easter Eggs

Wow, I just looked at the calendar to realize we only have four weeks until the Easter Bunny visits {how did that happen?}! Time to break out the pastels and get ready for spring and some sunshine…I am so ready!

Thought I would share some fun fabric wrapped eggs. A very simple, quick and low cost project with endless decorating possibilities!

Start with your basic plastic eggs found any and everywhere and some scrap fabric.

I used pinking shears to cut my fabric in 1/2 inch strips. You can use regular scissors as well – I just like the little detail the pinking shears give to the fabric edges.

Start at the base of your egg and dab a little hot glue to the end of your fabric strip to hold in place. Slowly wrap your egg making sure you overlap the edges – this helps keep any fabric that sticks out laying flat. Continue to wrap until your egg is completely covered.

I used a combination of fabrics for some variety.

The possibilities for these little guys are endless.

Add some to a bowl ~ Wrap a candle stick light with coordinating fabric…

and you have an adorable little light to welcome spring! Enjoy!

These are very cute. Much nicer than the plastic!! I’ve got to go dig out my Easter decorations and get busy.

Adorable! I have a bag of plastic eggs that I bought last year on clearance. I guess it’s time to get them out and bring on some spring! Thanks for linking up.
