While the kid in me still loves to dye Easter Eggs it just seems like such a waste of time, money and eggs. I saw this really neat idea on another blog called Tatertots and Jello where she mod podged strips of scrap booking paper to eggs. I used large plastic Easter Eggs that were a dollar for 6 eggs. Other suggestions I have seen on other blogs were to use wooden eggs, foam eggs or paper mache eggs. The trick is to cut thin, short strips so that they lay nicely on the oval surface. WARNING: Your hands will get super messy. Basically put down a line of mod podge on the egg, lay the paper strip over the mod podge and then using a foam brush or your finger mod podge over the strip you just put down.
I poked out the bottoms of Styrofoam cups to let the eggs dry. You can see the extent of my Easter decorating in the second picture. The subway art/word collage I found online here! So my Spring/Easter decor cost me a whole dollar, ok two dollars because I bought two packages of eggs!
