Easter Crafts: Egg Cups

I know that today is St. Patrick's Day but that just means we are that much closer to the next holiday...Easter! I couldn't resist posting an easy Easter Egg craft that I spotted over on the Paper Source blog (and hey, it's green so doesn't that count?!) These cute little egg holders would be great for an egg decorating party or even as place card holders too!

Easter Egg Cups

You will need:

How To PDF file
8 1/2" x 11" Text Paper
Medium Adhesive Pearls
7 Point Shape Hole Punch
Double Stick Tape
Bone Folder
Scissors

(If you need any of these items you can purchase them from Paper Source!)

Instructions:

1. Cut strips of moss and sage text paper to approximately 2″ x 11″. Use the grass template on the PDF file to cut out blades of grass or cut freehand.
2. Take one strip of moss grass and sage grass and loosely coil to allow room for an egg to fit snugly inside. Secure outer and inner strips of grass with double stick tape. Curl ends of grass outwards with a bone folder.
3. Decorate the base of the grassy egg cup holder with a curry flower, using the 7 point shape hole punch. Use double stick tape to adhere to egg cup. Embellish the center with a pearl.
