Easter Eggs - Flowered

Happy Vee and I are both under-the-weather, but it's given us a good excuse to hang out in our pajamas and lay low.  He's busy watching and reenacting CARS, the movie and I've been playing around with paper, punches & eggs.

Inspired by these pomander balls by Pizzazzerie and these kissing balls from The Idea Room, and with a little change in shape, they became the perfect decor for Spring & Easter.

I found the styrofoam eggs at JoAnns

for some size perspective


and here's the flowered egg on my mantel

{I didn't include a tutorial because Pizzazzerie has already posted an excellent one.  Check it out here.}

I hope you're having a nice weekend.  The Mister got one of the computers up and running-- yahoo! So I'll be back to my somewhat regular post schedule ;)  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

{edited to add}:

Pssst... there's more Paper Flower Eggs here

    Erin - Do it! It takes a while (an hour-ish for me), but it's relaxing... especially with some good music on in the background :)

    That is gorgeous. So many store-bought decorations for Easter leave a lot to be desired, but this egg is so sophisticated...

    I'd LOVE if you could share this with my readers tonight @Creative Juice Thursday. Party starts @ 7pm CST. Get your crafting shoes on. Hope to see you there...
