Got eggs? Got napkins? Got ten minutes? Then you have everything you need for this fun little project just in time for Easter!
Yesterday was grey and damp - perfect for curling up with my iPad and catching up on my favourite blogs. And I had a lot of catching up to do.
After reading Deborah from East of Eden Cooking most recent post, I was inspired to give this Easter egg-making business a try. Her post is filled with eggs in soft hues of green, purple, blue and yellow, some decorated with lace and other with napkins. Yes, napkins!! I immediately knew that I would be making a few of my own.
The technique is borrowed from La Receta de la Felicidad and is super simple.
I boiled a few eggs that would later be used in a salad, chose floral and polka dot napkins that I recently purchased on a grocery shopping trip to the SuperStore and used a pastry brush and liquid egg whites to adhere them to the eggs. VOILA!!
Not to worry, the shells easily peel off when you are ready to eat them.
I absolutely enjoyed making these DIY Easter Eggs! Reminded me of making papier-mache masks when I was little, but with way fewer steps and less mess.
Round up the little ones some eggs and a few of your favourite napkins and create some pretty little Easter Eggs for tomorrow's after dinner egg hunt.
Happy Easter!
