My mom has had a bunch of these cute easter eggs for years that she fills with candy and adds to the cheapo plastic ones in our baskets. Alison has been dying to make them for a while and we finally did! What we didn't realized going into it was that each egg was going to take about an hour. We pretty much spent aaall day Saturday and Sunday making these and making a really big mess. And now I will have really cute easter baskets!
What you do is put 2 rubberbands on the eggs and make a pattern for these triangle pieces using tissue paper and cardboard. Then cut out the fabric strips, glue onto a plastic easter egg with Elmer's glue, and cover the seams with ribbon (hot glue gun). Rick rack works the best.

pretty much the face she's making in every picture I've ever taken of
her. |

| When doing this project it is helpful to have a lifetime stash of more fabrics than you could every imagine in ever color and pattern imaginable. Thank you mom for providing said stash. (this picture shows about one one-millionth of the fabrics she has) |
