Patchwork Polka Dot Easter Eggs

If you are stopping over from the Spring Craft Blog Hop, hello and welcome! What's more fun for Easter than pastels, polka dots, and Easter eggs? I'm kicking off my Easter decorating right now, starting with these Patchwork Polka Dot Easter Eggs. Let's shift from green and shamrocks of St. Patrick's Day to patchwork and polka dots as the Spring officially starts Friday.

 As always, this craft is fast, inexpensive, and super fun! I covered Easter eggs with squares of polka dot cotton fabric to create a patchwork of colors, perfect for decorating with. I picked up a large container of plastic eggs (the kind you stick candy in) for under $5, and got plenty to fill Easter baskets and do a few crafts and activities with. The fabric quarters I picked up at Jo-Ann's Fabrics, so I had them in my stash.

Materials needed
Plastic Easter Eggs
Polka dot fabric quarters or remnants
Pinking shears
Mod Podge
Brush
Egg carton and waxed paper for drying

Directions

1. Cut polka dot fabric into 1-inch squares using pinking shears.
2. Apply Mod Podge to plastic eggs and press on a square of fabric. Continue to apply squares, slightly overlapping each other, applying Mod Podge to the edges to lay fabric down flat.
3. Continue until the whole egg is covered. Let dry on waxed paper laid onto an egg carton,
4. Once dry, apply a thin coat of Mod Podge over the outside to seal, then let dry completely.

That's it! A super easy craft to get you springing into Easter. The cheerful colors welcome spring, and they look amazing in my little basket next to my Easter bunnies and an Easter bonnet (that I picked up at the Dollar Spot at Target).
