How to Make
Cut the eggs from your sheets of cardstock, using the template from the egg PDF printable. Trace the stencils onto scrap cardstock and cut. Alternatively, upload the egg SVG to your cutting machine software and cut the eggs in a variety of colours. Cut the stencils from scrap cardstock.
Lay out the inkpads, egg blanks, stencils, painters tape, stickers, gems, tape, markers and any other bits and pieces you think will be fun to decorate with.
When using the stencil, lay it across the egg and tape to your worksurface using painters tape to stop it from shifting.
Press a sponge into an inkpad and press gently onto the cut outs in the stencil, building up the colour gradually.
Gently peel away the painters tape and move the stencil to the next area that you would like to colour. Alternate the stencil with strips of washi tape.
Trim away the excess washi tape and apply stickers.
You can make other patterns by laying down strips of washi tape and stamping the ink across the entire surface using your sponge.
Peel away the tape to reveal your pattern. You can then layer over other tapes for a different effect. Trim away the excess from the edges.
Adding sticky jewels on top of the stamps is another fun way to decorate!
Change the direction you lay your stencil to change the effect, laying it vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
When you have finished decorating your pieces, thread some ribbon through the holes in the eggs and pin either end of the bunting to the wall.
