How To Embellish Flocked Easter Eggs

       Flocked Easter eggs are not always available for crafting with in local hobby supply. But when these are plentiful they make for a marvelous vintage display. These are light weight and are perfect for hanging on an easter tree tool. Below are several ways you can decorate them with trim, inside or out.

These flocked eggs have holes cut out to 
display a vignette inside.

Supply List:

• flocked plastic eggs
• soft fine Easter grass
• miniature Easter novelties
• lace, ribbon, rick-rack and bead trims
• transparent glitter 
• tacky white glue
• hot glue gun and hot glue

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Purchase flocked egg blanks for a hobby store or dollar store outlet.
2. Draw the oval shaped window with a soft number two pencil and trace around a tiny stencil directly on top of the flocked egg.
3. Cut away the oval shaped window by poking open the flocked egg with a tiny pair of sharp nail scissors. Cut away all of the pencil markings as these will not be easy to remove with an eraser. 
4. Layer a thick amount of tacky glue on the inside of the egg with your finger tip. 
5. Sprinkle in a generous amount of transparent glitter. 
6. Tap the egg on a table surface to evenly disperse the glitter on the inside of the egg. Do this over a clean sheet of paper to collect all of the unused glitter and return it to the bottle it came from for future crafts. Let the glitter harden.
7. Next, glue inside of the egg opening some soft Easter grass. I used the cotton-like version of grass for this egg vignette. 
8. Then glue in the Easter novelty: a bunny figurine, a basket of eggs etc...
9. Trim the outside edges of the window with tacky glue and rick-rack. 
10. Glue on a ribbon, some lace and a pearl bead here and there.
11. Display your vintage eggs in an egg tree or basket.

After decorating the egg on the inside, I glued rick-rack, laces and bows to the outer shell

 and edges to cover flaws and to add interest to the surfaces of my Easter eggs. I used 

hot glue for this particular project.

Old-fashioned  flocked Easter eggs are covered with
rickrack and bright, bold laces. Use tacky white glue
 to adhere the bits of lace and trim.
