The same technique used to create beautiful paper snowflakes in the winter can be used to "decorate" paper Easter eggs this spring!
You Will Need:
- Colored Construction Paper {We used construction paper in purple, pink and yellow. Pastel-colored card stock or spring-patterned scrapbook paper would produce great results, too}
- Scissors
Instructions:
- The key to making eggs instead of snowflakes is the shape. You'll begin with an oval/egg shape.
- Then fold in half and then continue folding accordion-style.
- The folds will determine where the designs appear on your finished egg.
- Then cut shapes and designs in the paper, avoiding the curved edges (this is so the outer edge of your egg remains intact).
- Open carefully to reveal your design.
We strung a few together on a piece of twine to create a garland for our window. A string of egg "snowflakes" would also look great on a bookshelf or draped on the backs of your chairs or across the middle of the table for Easter dinner.
Enjoy!!
