Elegant Hydrangea Eggs

Everywhere I look (ok, so maybe it was just PB) I'm seeing gorgeous floral-covered eggs.  This weekend I ran out to get the two supplies (plastic eggs and flowers) that needed to make some for myself, and spent the better part of Sunday afternoon hot gluing a little Easter decor:

Aren't they lovely?  What's that?  You'd like to make some too?  Well, read on my crafy friends :)


Start with some lovely run of the mill Easter eggs (I got mine from the Dollar Store)

and a few silk hydrangea bushes (I got mine at Walmart - these were incredibly pretty for Walmart's craft floral dept, and only $3 a bush)

strip the little petals from their plastic stigma (center of the flower) and fire up your glue gun

apply a nice dollup of hot glue onto the egg (yes, I like to get the hot glue gun as close to my laptop as possible)

pinch the petal edges together

and press the center of petal (with the edges still pinched) into the glue

and repeat...again...and again...and again...for what may be a full hour, ok two

but the results more than make up for all the gluing and pinching

Hello my pretties.  I think I'll keep you :)
