These decorated eggs were very easy to make. Decoupage was very popular in the 1990's on the television craft shows...and I joined the craze by buying a giant jar of decoupage glue. That one jar was used in a wide variety of projects and lasted forever! I love crafts that involve using things you already might have...like ribbon and tissue paper from the gift wrap box. I emptied the eggs by making two holes (top and bottom of egg) and blowing out the contents. I brushed on a layer of glue, placed small torn pieces of tissue paper onto the egg, overlapping them and patting down with the gluey brush, then brushing more glue on top, while the glue was still wet I sprinkled it with some glitter. The ribbon was held in place with more glue.
At first I couldn't remember very much about this project even though I made four bunnies as Easter presents for family members back in the 1990's. But as I began to think it all came back to me. I used a favorite soft toy bunny called Binky as inspiration, after more than twenty years he is still a favorite. I sketched his likeness onto paper then cut it out to use as a template for the craft felt. I made a front and a back stuffing him with polyfill and sealing it up with a blanket stitch. His cotton tail is a yoyo and button and the eggs were filled with chocolate. I used dark brown felt for my Auntie Christine as if it were a real chocolate bunny.
