WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH AN HOUR AND SOME VINTAGE TEXT PAGES?
Decorate eggs, of course!
Dollar Store plastic eggs are the perfect base for all sorts of embellishments. I had some in various sizes, try to get large, medium and small.
I tore vintage text pages into smallish pieces so they could wrap easily around the eggs. You can mist the paper too, it relaxes the fibers and makes them more pliable. DO NOT SOAK them, lightly wet/spray them a couple pieces at a time.
I started by painting the egg with watered down Alene's Tacky glue (get it here). I used a sparse amount of water just to get it to spread easily. I adhered the paper and painted it with glue. You can use your fingers, I used a combination, I don't mind messy! I also added craft paint to colorize the mod podge in various shades.
I wanted my eggs a bit embellished and yet varied looks to them. As an experiment, I tried Farmhouse style with pale color and burlap ribbon and a wood button. Create an old-world aged style use inks in walnut or brown.
Fashion eggs with rhinestones or gold leaf would be gorgeous in a crystal basket!
