CREATE A CRAFT
Alot of people claim to be crafty, but my sister Rose is definately the queen of crafting. She will share a craft idea weekly, I hope you will try many of them and return often to see whats new!
*MOSAIC/COLLAGE BLOWN EGGS*
Use:
clean, dry, blown eggs
2 parts water/1 part white glue
small paint brush or foam brush
assorted colors of tissue paper
damp cloth or Wet Ones diaper wipe
Tear or cut small pieces of tissue paper, enough to cover the whole egg with
some over-lapping. Do this part BEFORE gluing-it's gonna get sticky!
For a
mosaic effect, place pieces close with no over-lap.
For a collage effect,
try some print and some tissue (print napkins will work if you're
patient-they're more delicate-require a lighter touch when placing them, so
as not to tear).
Apply a thin layer of glue. Place your tissue pieces as desired.
Allow to
dry just a little before brushing on a top coat to seal the surface. This
will be a little messy, and you'll need to clean the hand that holds the egg
often so colors aren't transferred to areas where they don't belong.
Hang the finished egg from a ribbon, or create a nest of them!
Enjoy!
