Spring and Easter Decor: Peep My Eggs

 

Hey look...I made something! I picked up these thick wood eggs last year at Dollar Tree and never got around to using them, so I broke them out this year to play with. I don't know if any of the stores have them again this year. I also picked up some carrots I'll play with this week.

Supplies:

• Large Wood Egg Shapes
• Scrapbook Papers
• Peeps Candy Containers
• Mod Podge Matte
• Assorted Self-Adhesive Gems

I chose some yellow ombre paper from my stash, traced the egg shape, then cut out. 

I went around the edges of the egg shapes with Waverly Multi-Surface Paint in Maize. 

I applied the paper cutout to the egg shape using Matte Mod Podge, then used my Cricut Mini Press to ensure good adhesion. 

These rainbow strips, I cut from a sheet of paper from the "Candy Brights" paper stack from Michaels. Applied with Mod Podge, then trimmed the edges with scissors. 

To finish, I sanded the edges with this "sander thingy" I picked up at DT, then sealed it all with one more coat of Mod Podge. 

I found these Peeps candy holders at Dollar Tree this year and, of course, now wish I'd bought another set! I also found this sheet of multicolored gemstones. I glued one to each of my prepared eggs, then added some gemstones and VOILA!
