paper mache eggs

 I whipped up these eggs one afternoon last week.

They were super easy and fairly quick- other than the drying time of course.

I simply took some foam eggs that I bought at one of the cheap shops and covered them with some watered down PVA glue, then covered them with strips of paper and more glue.

One I used some old music sheets that they were throwing out at church and another one I did used an old paper sewing pattern- I actually found it easier just to take a piece and wrap it around to fit because it is so fine.

Finally I used some pieces of an old bible - sacrilege I know! 

This was a Good News New Testament that I was given as a child- it wasn't even the whole bible and we don't use the Good News version any more anyway so I thought it was better to recycle and throw into the trash- I used the sections of the Crucifixion and Resurrection seeing they were Easter Eggs.

I stuck them into some bamboo skewers to dry overnight and

 

then put them into a vase.
It was messy but lots of fun!!!
