Create darling little Easter Eggs using regular inexpensive plastic eggs and sheet music. I used thin sheet music paper that I had on a roll. The thinner the sheet music the easier it will be to decoupage onto the Easter Eggs. Finish the Easter Eggs with a taffeta bow and place them into little decorative nests.
Materials Needed:
Instructions:
1. Begin with sheet music and plastic eggs.

3. Glue ribbon strands around the eggs.

4. While the Mod Podge is drying create the bows. Place the Hair Bow Tool & Ruler onto the Mini Bowdabra (metric side). Cut a piece of 18? Bowdabra Bow Wire and fold it in half and place it into the Mini Bowdabra. Cut a piece of 16cm long ribbon. At the half way point place it into the Mini Bowdabra.

5. Form a loop and press it into the Mini Bowdabra at the 2.5cm mark.
