I have always wondered why people empty the eggs before coloring them. They are so much more fragile and harder to work with. Is it because they last longer? I personally like to hard boil the eggs first, that way, they are easier to work with.
MATERIALS:
Hard boiled eggs
Colored felt
Scrap cardboard
1 cup Water
1 tablespoon Vinegar
20 drops food Coloring

TOOLS:
Glue
Scissors
Spoon

1. Mix the water, vinegar & food coloring. Dye the eggs.

I broke the pink one. It made me sad.
2. While the egg is drying on the spoon, cut the felt into shapes (ears, eyes, nose).

I didn't need the scrap cardboard (kleenex box) because my felt was strong on it's own. Otherwise you can use it as back support for the ears.
3. Glue the felt parts on the eggs. Serve with breakfast, eat & enjoy!

I served them with bacon, toast, tomatoes and coconut fried potatoes. Use your imagination!
I've been pretty busy lately. I kind of over booked myself on activities with my son. I gave birth to him 3 weeks after we moved into our first house. I felt a bit lonely and secluded, so I scheduled a whole bunch of activities for us. We had swimming classes, mommy craft classes, baby musical activities, stroller workouts & lots of mommy/baby dates... it was fun while it lasted, but before I go back to work in 2 months, I want to spend as much quality time with my son as I can. alone. Just him, and me. It's hard to believe he's almost 1 already. I'm going to miss him being a little mister.

Absolutely adorbs! I love the idea of actually getting good use out of (usually) useless decor. Breakfast never looked so fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Rachael! Exactly! I'm so much more about the practicality. Although I do like to decorate...
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! Will try this soon!
ReplyDeletesweet, would love to see some pictures when you're done!
ReplyDeletewhen he's bigger i'll definitely be doing this with him. i cant wait!! (:
ReplyDeleteyay! let me know how it turns out! (:
ReplyDeleteJust curious, why add vinegar to the colored mixture? And this is making me hungry. :(
ReplyDeleteYes, cherish these moments. :) I think it's important for a parent to be present in these formative years. :D
Hi Kisty! The vinegar helps the colored dye penetrate the shell and set. (: As for the moments, I try to cherish them as much as I can, but to be honest with you, I wish I could buy time!!! :)
ReplyDeleteNice DIY! I love DIYs but I don't have the means to do one so I just keep on liking and re-pinning DIYs on Pinterest :P
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally get what you're saying about you missing your son. I have a niece who just turned 2 last February and whenever I look at her now, I feel like she's growing up too fast!
Cutie! This one is really perfect for the Easter Sunday!! I wish I could try this one but I don't know if I can :| Thank you for posting this one! Looking forward for more DIY's!
