Well, after doing a 50+ bunnies this season,
I can't look at another one.
Nope.
Can't do it.
But I can do an Easter egg!!
WAIT!
Before we get started,
I have to share my new love and lifesaver with you.

Seriously.
I can't even tell you.
I had heard about the wonder of the wood burning tool like two years ago.
However, I thought - I don't need it. It can't be that awesome.
Oh, it is that awesome.
Don't have one?
Get one.
Best $6.29 I ever spent.
Ok, onto the Easter egg clip!
You will need:
3/8 inch white
3/8 inch light pink swiss dot
1/16 inch white satin
alligator hair clip
glue gun
For the egg:
3.5 inches pink swiss dot
4.25 inches white
5 inches white
For the bow:
1.75 inches pink swiss dot
6 inches 1/16 satin
For the clip:
4.25 inches pink swiss dot
STEP ONE
Take your 3.5" piece of pink swiss dot and overlap the edges
to form an egg/oval shape and glue.
STEP TWO
Take your 4.25" piece of white and secure one end to the
pink oval you've already made - leaving some of the pink showing.
Loop up, and glue the other edge in the same oval/egg shape you made with the pink.
STEP FOUR
To make the bow, take your 1.75" piece of pink swiss dot
and glue it into a circle by securing the ends.
I like to use a small cylinder shaped object to help me.
My old lighter works great.

STEP FIVE
Flatten the little circle, being careful to keep the glued seam
to the side and not in the center.
Take your 1/16" piece of ribbon and tie it around the middle
of your flattened circle - securing with a knot.
Trim the excess ribbon tails.
STEP SEVEN
Cover your clip with the 4.25" piece of swiss dot.
Cover your clip with the 4.25" piece of swiss dot.
Then glue the egg to the covered clip - at a slight angle.
I like my clips to slide up into the hair,
so I glued the egg to the side that opens on the alligator clip.
