No Sew Patchwork Fabric Easter Eggs

Easy
These fabric Easter eggs unbelievably easy to make and look fantastic. The fabric gives them a nice retro look and feel. They make for a lovely seasonal decoration for the home. This is a great easter craft for all ages. />
All you need is some raw eggs and fabric adhesive sheets.
First you need to prepare your eggs by blowing out the raw egg, details of this can be found on my blog. Of course if you don't want to use real eggs you can use plastic craft ones.
Then you simply cut your fabric sheets into 5mm strips and remove the backing before adhering to the egg.
Continue adding the strips until the whole egg is covered.
This is a very addictive and quick craft before long you will have a lovely basket of decorative eggs. If like me and you choose to use real eggs, covering the eggs in adhesive fabric strengthens them therefore they are not so fragile and will last for years. Finally don't forget to have scrambled eggs for tea with all that raw egg, or even better get baking.

    Beautiful!

    Exactly Claire, for most true DIY crafters, like yourself, using real eggs, and the process, is all part of your project. It is a process, and talent, and old fashioned, more delicate. There is something to making them, like this, like they use to be made, before all the options, Amazon, and Internet, made ordering so easy, and creativity to a degree has been lost, when everything is at our fingertips.

    Great job!

    Thank you, yes it’s so much more satisfying to use the stuff around you then having to buy stuff from the craft store.
