Vintage Eggs

A fun little project for you to try. I saw some eggs that looked vintagy like this but they were wooden and oh so expensive. Mine are a bit more on the frugal side.
I started with a paper mache egg (I got mine at Hobby Lobby)
Next I cut out a vintage image(from Altered Pages) and then cut darts so it would form to the curve of the egg. You could cover the egg with patterned papers first but at this point I wasn't sure what was going on with my eggs so I started with the image :)












Next I finished covering the back of the Eggs with K&Co papers. I painted a coat of Ranger Rock Candy Distress Crackle paint for a bit of texture. I added brown ink in the cracks of one egg and skipped the ink on the second egg so you could see the difference. After adding a coat of clear Varnish to seal the finish, they are finished. Now aren't these cute!? Soon I hope to put them on top of a little altered box, so check back.
