Rep Rnd 9 and 10.
Make a form for the egg:
I took tinfoil and made a form of an egg. Make sure it is big enough to fit the motifs snuggly.
Stiffen your egg:
Take fabric stiffener and stiffen the 2 motifs of the eggs and place them onto the egg form. And pin them down to the form.
Let your egg dry:
You can let your eggs sit overnight and completely dry or what I like to do is get out your blow-dryer and dry it that way.
Take a ribbon and weave it in any like manner though Rnd 9 on both motifs. Completely go around the egg and tie a bow and you are now finished. Don’t for get to put your treats into the egg!
