Plaid Shirt Eggs

It seems I haven't had a moment to catch up from Miami (sorry, Jill!). Work has been a bit crazy. (I'm working on a big project that I can't wait to share with you all in the future!)

Alas, I found a few free crafting moments this weekend, so hopefully I can get back into the swing of things and keep sharing my ideas, discovering what you guys are doing and all around enjoy this whole being-a-blogger thing again.

Do you all remember the plaid shirt ornaments Eddie Ross did for Kathie Lee's home? Adorable, right? Well I loved the idea too much to wait for Christmas again. So what did I do?

Plaid Shirt Easter Eggs, of course!




I think I need a few more, maybe solid white ones, to fill in the basket. But it's a great start, I think!

Click here for my quick tutorial. (Or just check out how Eddie Ross did it, because he is better at explaining it.)

    You are so clever. I loved Eddie's plaid balls, too. This is a great inspiration from that.

    I really LOVE your plaid shirt eggs!!! It's really fun to see eggs that aren't all pastel candy colors. I'd love for you to see my mossy stone eggs at the link below:
