to make:
1.
Cut 2 Chocolate Egg shapes from the Chocolate Felt
2.
Using
2 strands of Pink Embroidery Thread, backstitch the whirls
onto one
of the Egg shapes. Handstitch a Seed Bead to the centre of each of the
whirls.
3. Pin
the 2 Egg shapes right sides together and sew the seam, leaving a gap
for turning. Turn right side out. Fill with Fibrefill. Slipstitch the
opening closed.
4.
Pin the Ric Rac around the middle of the Egg, covering the seam. Turn
under the raw edges where they meet. Handstitch in place.
5.
Tie the Pink Ribbon in a bow and handstitch on top.
tips:
When filling your Easter Egg with fibrefill, using tiny pieces will
ensure smoothness. Use an awl or knitting needle or
chopstick or even a pencil to help push the fibrefill inside easily.
The more fibrefill you add, the heavier, rounder and more realistic your egg
will
become - perservere, it's so worth it.
