Tutorial for Romanov Inspired Egg

It's an exciting day!  I have a tutorial for this Romanov Inspired egg, and


I am co-hosting a Link Party with these lovelies...

Please link any family friendly post, old or new, that celebrates Spring!


My tutorial for a Romanov inspired egg...



OK.  Let's face it.  My little glue sticks do not even begin to compare to the jewelers who work for Faberge', but what amazing inspiration!  Just look at these!


I had a wonderful time cruising photos of the fabulous Romanov Eggs for ideas on color combinations, pattern and proportions.


The adventure begins by blowing eggs any time I needed one for whatever recipe.  Check it out!  I have twenty-two!  ;-)


Next was dying them.  Since they are blown, the eggs don't sink.  I had to weight them gently to hold them under the dye.


Then I just started playing with shimmery rick rack, but was careful to leave the little holes open on each end of the egg.  After a bit of experimenting, glue dots seemed to work the best for attaching anything to the egg.


I have an interesting collection of buttons along with a stash of mismatched and broken jewelry.  Here are some options!  ;-)


I cut about a 12 inch length of fine gauge wire.  A button and then the egg was threaded onto it.  The large gold button holds the bottom of the egg.  A couple of buttons and small bead were added above the egg.  A post earring with a pearl drop was pressed into the side.



'Can't wait to work on the other twenty-one eggs!

I am excited to see your links, too!  Let's party!
