Easter Altered Item

Designer: Terry O

These are altered eggs. They had expired, so perfect to use. I punctured a small hole on each end and blew out the egg, rinsed thoroughly and started crafting.


This egg has ribbon flowers that you can buy in a pack of 50 at Michael's.


This egg was altered using these bows I bought somewhere. I added a few cute glittery butterflies.


This egg was decoupaged with regular paper and ink distressed with Sage and Tea Dye. I then added round beads to make grapes; added stickles to make it sparkle.

The baskets were made from this template on Split Coast Stampers. I did make changes to the handle.
