Twine wrapped Egg Tutorial

Twine Wrapped Eggs






Materials needed:

Eggs- blown or wooden/decopage eggs (I used blown eggs due to availability)
Paint- optional- my eggs were white so I did not bother
Twine/rope/wool
Hot glue gun and hot glue


Method-
Step one:
Heat up the hot glue gun.

Step two:
Wind some twine to make a circle- See photo


Step Three:
Attach to bottom of the egg with hot glue. See photo


Step Four:
Apply a thin layer of glue next to the circle you made- and wrap the twine. Repeat until egg is almost wrapped- See photo





Step Five:
When you are at the top of the egg and have almost finished wrapping the egg cut the twine and glue down.

Finished project- they are CUTE…





You can add a loop of twine before finishing off the wrapping of the twine in step five to create a hanging egg. Try wrapping with two colours of twine for a striped egg.

Long time but I did Sew

Yep I have been sewing and crafting and ejoying it.
Here are some of the things I have made recently

Heart Handbag



library Bags




Handbag for ME

Busy sewing day

Well after not really doing much- I have been very busy sewing today- just felt like it- Funny thing that is with sewing- I really have to want to sew to enjoy it, otherwise it feels like a task.
So today's creations
Snack sack- reusable ziplock bag



ruby doll- my variation- lost the leg pattern and no printer so designed my own- Alyssa has called her Olivia





and a skirt out of 2 FQ's. really is just the width of the fabric and whatever length sewn into a circle then hemmed and a casing for the elastic- Super simple- I thought it would be a little too long- but I actually love it- Alyssa has butterfly sandals that will match very well. She is also wearing the singlet I refashioned the this week.

I have been quiet lately

I have not done much sewing lately- a lot of fabric buying though- 18yards coming my way LOL. Have I mentioned how much I love Etsy???

anyway here are 2 of my latest creations.
A ruffle singlet for miss Alyssa and a camera strap cover for me. I have to make the pockets bigger next time- they were a fraction too small for my lens cover but will fit my extra SD cards. Oh and yes I have a new baby my Nikon d3000 SLR








In other VERY exciting news- I am teaching someone to sew- I am loving it- only one lesson so far but so happy to be teaching!!! I hope to get more people interested too!! that and cooking classes (I hope to run at some stage will keep me VERY busy LOL)

Ruffle butts, necklace and a dress

So I have been sewing again. One thing for a friends bubby a cute ruffle butt onesie that has yoyo's on the front.





I also made up this cute fabric necklace- very easy- has beads inside


And another pillowcase dress for Alyssa

More sewing and craft

So I made a little owl for another friends little girl. She has a frilly tummy and crinkly wings.


And I made a monogrammed singlet for Alyssa. I am loving sewing and have so many things I want to make but find it hard to work out what to do first haha

Owls and Handbags

So I have a lovely friend in Aus who also sews and is sending something over for Alyssa so I thought I would send something over for her two little ones. I asked her what she would like for them and she said a handbag for Hannah and a taggy toy for Oliver.



So the handbag I knew what I wanted to make and went about making it. I knew I wanted a contrast top panel, some type of flowers on the front and the bag to have some type of pleats.
So this is what I can up with.







and the taggy is an adaption from this Blog- http://lubirdbaby.blogspot.com/2009/11/owl-ribbon-tag-baby-toy.html
I added a crinkly element to the wings and body. And did not really follow the tutorial but looked at the design and used it as a basis.
