Paper Mache Egg Decoration For The Mantle
By: Claire Armstrong from Pillarboxblue
Paper Mache Egg Decoration For The Mantle
"I just used paper to make this really cute spring decoration for my mantle. The eggshell itself was made with papier mache on a balloon. However to give the eggshell a more plaster-like finish I painted it using a talcum powder and paint mixture. The egg was decorated with spring images from free clip art from my site. The images I used were a rabbit and daffodil flowers, two iconic images of spring. Different images could be used to update the decoration for other times of the year."
