Easter eggery
Natural dyes for Easter eggs (and wool!)
kath_red did a comprehensive post on Easter crafts last year.
To add a few more ideas:
At AllFiberArts, natural dyes for Easter eggs using red cabbage and turmeric.
Other dyeing techniques using such things as bubble wrap and tissue paper at FamilyFun.
Stephanie at yarn harlot had some fun with wax techniques over the new year period - here’s the result (or start reading a few days earlier to see the process) (she decided not to become the egg harlot - yarn isn’t so breakable, for starters…).
If you want a few more permanent eggs around, find a good quality wool skirt in a second-hand/op-shop/Goodwill/Oxfam/whatever they’re called in your neck of the woods. Cut out two egg shapes, sew, turn, stuff and sew up, then decorate with beads, embroidery, whatever takes your fancy. (You could, of course, buy new wool felt instead). Think of the cone trees so many folk made last Christmas, and try an eggery tack. Simple shapes such as these give plenty of room for your imagination and individuality. A bowl of these on the coffee table…it’s a thought.
