Easter eggs with crepe and silk paper 08. March 2023

Cut out pieces of silk paper and press some decoupage glue onto a piece of paper or another surface which can get dirty.

Use your brush to spread decoupage glue onto you egg, dip your brush in the glue and use the brush to pick up a piece of silk paper. Even the paper out with the brush.

Cut thin strips of crepe paper but cut one of the strips wider than the others.

Smooth out the thin strips so they become longer and use the glue gun to glue the thin, smooth strips onto the egg diagonally. In the video, six lilac strips are glued onto the egg.

Now, use the glue gun to glue taffeta ribbon along half of the lilac strips

Cut out a strip of cardboard paper. This should be thinner than the wide strip of lilac crepe paper. Then, cut a strip of yellow crepe paper, which should be wider than both the lilac strip and the cardboard paper strip. Smooth out the yellow crepe paper strip and cut fringes along both sides of its width.

Use your glue gun to first glue the yellow crepe paper strip onto the egg, then the lilac. Make sure to only place glue on the middle of the strips. Finally, glue on the cardboard paper strip. If you would like to create a ruffled effect, you can tug a bit at the edges of the crepe paper.

Now, cut six oval pieces of smooth, yellow crepe paper and twist lightly at the ends so they look like small petals.

Add the petals three at a time directly onto the eggs with the glue gun, so they look like a buttercup.

Make a small ball of glue from the pearl clay set and press white beads into this. Let the beads dry overnight.
