Craft a Humpty-Dumpty Easter Egg

The Humpty egg from different view points.

    This Humpty-Dumpty Easter egg is much easier to make than he looks. I used a small face mold and a bit of Sculpey clay to make his face. Although, some of you who do not like to paint, could use a bit of flesh colored polymer clay instead. After un-molding the clay mask, I then pressed it onto a wooden egg with a generous amount of wood glue sandwiched between the clay and wooden surface. Then I baked the entire egg in an oven for only a few minutes at recommended temp. on the package. If I had to make the Humpty egg again, I would probably opt for air dry clay. 
      I then let the egg cool and glued on a simple white collar and a bow tie, after I painted the head in flesh colored paint and lower portion of the egg in blue to suggest his shirt.
      Humpty-Dumpty named after a famous nursery rhyme was actually a relatively popular character to craft during the mid to later half of the 20th century during Easter and also for nurseries. I've included more examples of this funny egg fellow below.

Above are examples of face molds from my vast collection.

Include Tiny Vignettes Inside Easter Eggs

Here are a few more examples of decorated, flocked Easter eggs. These have been decorated by
cutting out an oval portion of the egg and gluing a tiny vignette inside the egg. Many hobby stores
 sell tiny vignettes; these are not difficult to locate. I covered the inside of my eggs first with glue
 and transparent glitter. I also added a bit of Easter grass to cushion my Easter miniatures.

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.

"Raise Every Voice"

"Raise Every Voice"  A song for Easter. old sheet music. I've included a file size here that is very large for those of you who would like to print out this sheet music on larger printing paper. This music was published in The Morning Times, Sunday, April 5, 1896, and is in the public domain.

The Living Butterfly

Paper butterfly pattern.

      Cut out the wings all around the outside black lines and fold them together at the dotted line A. Cut out both sections of the body and paste them together, with the exception of the legs and antennea, which are to be spread apart. Now slip the body between the wings at the white space. BB and bend the wings down at right angles to it at the dotted lines CC. The butterfly is now finished. To set it in motion hold it between the thumb and forefinger, as shown in the model, and pinch it gently, being sure to have the thumb and finger high enough under the wings so that they will be raised every time they are pinched and lowered when the pressure is relaxed. If you do this just right the butterfly will look like a little living creature poised for flight and an observer will be scarcely able to see what makes the wings go up and down. If you like to paste a thin piece of note paper on the wrong side of the wings to cover the printing and to color them on both sides. You will have a very pretty toy to add to your collection of cut-outs.
