This Easter craft project was inspired by my mother and grandmother who made these special eggs out of Easter paper napkins, white glue and glitter when I was a little girl. I've held onto these eggs and look forward to their appearance each spring.

This is my updated version using paper napkins found at Tuesday Morning and a silk butterfly from Michael's.
I will be using the paper napkins and butterflies in other projects in case you decide to invest in the supplies. 
Supplies:

Modge Podge glue
Brush
Decorative paper napkins
Fine glitter
Embellishments optional
Styrofoam Eggs
1. Coat the stryofoam egg in modge glue using a brush.
2. Cut paper napkin into smaller pieces and adhere to the egg using more glue.

3. Sprinkle the entire egg with fine glitter while the glue is still wet.
4. I set my egg in front of a fan (on top of wax paper) to speed up the dry time.
5. I made a few of these eggs and added a Christmas hook to the top of one of my eggs so that I could also hang it on my white tree. The silk butterfly covers the hook from view.


Happy Crafting!
Happy soon-to-be Spring!

XOXO

Very cute idea- Thanks for sharing!
These are so pretty! I love the butterfly and sparkles.
Wow, I'm in love with that butterfly topped egg! I think there's another craft run in my future.
Miss Kim, I have to get to crafting. These are so cute. I love that you still have some from childhood. My mother was not a keeper...probably why I hoard and log everything. I saw someone post old sheet music on eggs as well. I will give this a try and let you know how it goes...safe travels...Renee
