Faux Blue Bird Eggs and Nest #EasterEggs
YES!!! Spring has arrived in North Carolina and I want to dance and sing as I tiptoe through the tulips. Some of our bushes are blooming and I’ve been bringing cuttings inside.
Now is the perfect time to start decorating for Easter! A nest of Blue Bird Eggs makes a beautiful centerpiece! Here’s how to make your own eggs and nest.
Get the full materials list and tutorial on the blog post, listed below the photos. It's really simple and fun!
Paint the egg with the blue paint and allow them to dry.
Put on rubber gloves. Dip the toothbrush into a watery mixture of the black paint. Stroke your finger along the bristles to spatter black dots all over the eggs.
Allow the black speckles to dry and repeat the process using the white paint.
While the eggs are drying pull out your pasta maker. (Am I the only one who doesn’t use my pasta maker for making pasta?)
Cut the paper bag into strips wide enough to fit into the pasta maker.
This centerpiece can be left out until you are tired of looking at it. Then store the eggs in the carton and bring them out again next year.
