DIY ~ Pom Pom Easter Egg

I have to say this year is going by way too fast. Easter's only 2 weeks away! I don't really have any Easter decor so I decided I wanted to make a pom pom Easter egg. {surprise surprise...}

Haven't you always wanted one? Here we go...

Items Needed

yarn {you can decide how many colors you want- I used 2 colors- pink & cream with gold specks}

pom pom maker {you can purchase one here or use your fingers- I used the 1 5/8 size}

card board box

ribbon {for hanging & for decorating} not pictured

hot glue gun

round plate {the size you want the bottom of your egg to be}

scissors

pen

tape

1 ~ make pom poms 

I ended up making about 10 of each color- then making more as I went along counting how many 

more I would need by laying them out on my egg a row at a time

2 ~ draw your egg on to the cardboard box

use your plate to draw the bottom then just free hand the top

the marker won't show in the end

if you use the bottom of the box with tape in the middle 

you can use it in the step after the next one to make the egg even by folding it over

2 ~ cut your egg out

3 ~ fold your cardboard in half then cut to even 

your egg out

4 ~ tape your fold how ever many times to make 

your cardboard strong & unbendable - can you see the clear tape?

5 ~ place your pom poms on your egg to see how 

you want to glue them down

6 ~ use hot glue

to glue them in place

half way through & looking good!

7 ~ glue a small piece of ribbon to the middle of the 

back to hang your egg

if you want- add a ribbon- a frame & a rabbit!

I think some people would add a thicker/ bigger ribbon but I kind of like this little one

* does anyone think it's weird that I show a finished product picture at the front & at the end of my post? for some reason when I see a tutorial I like to see what it looks like before I start & remember what it looks like at the end. dumb? not dumb?
