If you are like me (which I have a feeling some of you out there are!) you probably have lots of fabric scraps. I can't quite bring myself to throw out all my scraps- even the tiny ones because the creative ideas are really endless. In my quest to create some more unique Easter eggs I decided to put all those teeny tiny scraps to use...
I started by selecting fabric scraps.
Next I bought some cheap plastic Easter eggs and pulled out my Aleene's Original Tacky Glue-one of THE best crafting supplies to ever exist :)
Using a brush I began to cover the surface of the egg with glue.
I added scraps to the glue and using my brush I pressed down the fabric.
I covered the entire surface with scraps of fabric and then added a thin layer of glue all over the surface to get all the edges and loose ends pressed down.
I smoothed everything down with my fingers- messy but effective.
I let the surface dry and then added a little rolled fabric flower to the top. Tutorial for flowers here
I created eggs in a variety of colors.

Hello Alisa,
These are totally awesome...love the mess included in the process.
And the fact that you recycle it's fabulous!
Are you going to give them away {if...}individually or are you going to pack them just like that in the egg carton?
You are so very talented!

Love your bright cheery unique and super creative Easter eggs. The finishing of your eggs with wrapped flower and jewels is the crowning touch. Brilliant. Happy Easter to you...
Very inspiring... what adorable eggs!
They are really nice and with a little variation they could easily be an original gift wrapping!

I am grateful that the storms last night in the midwest weren't too damaging!

I love these! What a great way to dress up thos tacky eggs....this year I will be stealing them from the kids rather than threatening to toss them....these are so pretty!
Not a stitch wasted! Love this concept and the end result.. I don't know what I like more, the eggs or the photographs of the eggs. Well done!
