crafty question

has anyone seen plastic easter eggs anywhere yet?  a friend and I are getting together to do a craft project this weekend to make these:

(it's clicky so you can see the DIY project, which is to make a wreath, but we just want to make some eggs because they are cute!)

we're going to do a few different projects just for fun :)

Re: crafty question

  • I assume Michaels has them by now.
  • i haven't noticed yet.. because it's probably all stuff for valentine's day.. but maybe call the dollar tree or michaels or joanns. :) those are cute.

    you and your friends have craft gtgs? my friends would NEVER be down!

    lol yes, it's just one friend.  We started it a few months ago, not on a regular basis, just now and then we try to email and set a date because it's more fun that doing it alone.  This is our first joint project, before this it was just making cards with my Cricut, this time we're splitting up supplies and doing an actual project!

    maybe I will call around so I don't have to drive everywhere.

  • I bet michaels would too.

    there isn't one near me :-/  it totally sucks that there isn't one in the city, I was hoping someone had been to Joann's or the dollar store, I may just call ahead though

    super jeals.. no joke, when my friends need something crafty, they call and ask me to do it for them!

    :)

    Yes 

  • Dude! I wish MY friends hadn't all had babies and therefore have no time now, I want friend-craft time!! I just do it by myself but it would be fun to do it with some other peeps. The only 2 friends who would be into it, one is sick and the other is in grad school in Michigan. :(

     Sorry, haven't seen the eggs yet. I want to order a bunch of wood ones from save-on-crafts, but sticking to my rule of no craft materials if I have an unfinished project to do (which I do, I have 2 right now).

  • If all else fails, you could use real eggs... Just use a pin to poke holes in the top and bottom and blow (REALLY HARD) into the top hole -- the whites and yolks'll come out the bottom, and then you just have to let 'em dry out before you use 'em. Helps if you poke the pin in really far and pierce the yolk, btw.

    this friend and I have actually also blown eggs together :)  her aunt and uncle have chickens so she gets all sorts of pretty ones.  I do have some plain white ones done, but it seems like such a waste of a pretty egg to cover it up (also I feel like we'd have to be much more careful with them and I think this project involves a lot of pressing/pushing etc).  thanks though!

    yeah, I'm afraid we're just a little early for this - I'm sure places are waiting until right after Valentine's day :-/  I might ask her if she wants to push it back a week or I guess we could find another project to do if I really can't find any.
