Twig hangers

I must admit that these round little papier mâché eggs aren’t easy for beginners, but they do look particularly beautiful hanging from pussy willow twigs alongside your paper decorations! That’s why the difficulty level for the eggs is a bit higher – but don’t give up! Whether it’s on a mug, a vase, a pan or an Easter egg: writing on a curved surface requires a bit of practice. Even I have to keep practicing!

Tip: Kraft paper often makes the colors look more pastel! So if you want more brilliant, luminous colors, it’s best to use white paper.

Instructions

1. Select natural, muted and unobtrusive colors for your pens and paper. Shades of green, salmon and yellow go well with the beige of the papier mâché eggs. 2. Draw some eggs shapes in a range of sizes on the construction paper and cut them out. Use a push pin to make a hole at top to hang it up, then thread a length of thin string through. 3. Write some short and sweet Easter wishes and any other messages you can think of. 4. Think of it as practice! There isn’t a lot of space on the eggs, but this way you’ll quickly learn how to arrange words attractively in a limited space. 5. Now arrange the papier mâché and paper eggs on your twigs. Your beautiful, natural Easter decorations are now finished!
