I saw something very similar to this over at Jeanne d'Arc Living . Their eggs were covered in vintage newspaper. I had some vintage sheet music that I found thrifting ( a stack of it for $7). I thought it would be nice so that is what I used.
Supplies needed for this project:
vintage sheet music
styrofoam eggs
Mod podge
scissors
paintbrush
large button pushpin
Instructions:
- Cut the sheet music out into triangles and quadrilaterals sized to fit the surface of the egg. (test this out first, some my be way too big)
- Hold the egg form and starting at the top, "paint" with the Mod Podge.
- Apply one piece of sheet music at a time, covering the egg and the top of the sheet music with Mod Podge. Smoothing it as you go with your fingers. Bumps don't matter, but smooth what you can.
- Cover the whole surface of the egg fast enough that the Mod Podge doesn't start drying and getting sticky on you.
- To dry push the finished egg into a push pin with a large button top. This forms a stand for your drying egg.
- Let it dry overnight and your done.

Sherry, The eggs turned out great, I'd think the hard part would be cutting the paper the right size. Thanks for hosting and the tutorial.

Hi Sherry...I tried to get my post up on linky in the past half hour and it doesn't work. I have never put this post up before because I just wrote and posted it about an hour ago. I don't know what to do. And I can't find your email address. Anyway here is my blog post: http://atnannstable.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-mardi-gras-table.html
Also I was floored that I wasn't following you. I thought I was. Here I've been linking up all this time thinking we were google friends. Well I am now. THANKYOU for your help. You can email me at nannjudd@hotmail.com.

Hi Sherry,
I hope you don't mind that I have linked up a non-home post today. This week we said goodbye to a very dear friend who died after a very short battle with breast cancer. It was such a shock for us all (her daughter and my daughter are very close friends) I just wanted to somehow say goodbye.
Best wishes,
Natasha In Oz
