25 Days of Christmas Ornaments - DAY 7

Whew, this was a loooooong day, but I finally had a chance to sit down and tackle this one

I picked up a package of these eggs around Easter and never did anything with them. 

And who says they don't work at Christmas?

 

Before I glued these paper strips on the egg, I poked a hole in the top with a small screwdriver

 

I knotted the end of a piece of silk ribbon and pushed it through the hole

 

 

The next step was pretty fussy, to say the least.  I cut down several strips of patterned paper and smeared Modge Podge all over the egg and the paper strips.

 

When the Modge Podge was dry, I spritzed on a clear texture spray to finish it off.

 

Then I pulled out these gorgeous crocheted blossoms

 

 

I used hot glue to attach them around the top and the bottom of the egg.

 

Some rhinestones completed the blossoms

 

 

Thank goodness it's Saturday tomorrow - I'm ready to sleep in and get a jump start on my next ornament...
