Easter Egg Garland

This morning we woke up to wind chills of 15 degrees. 

Not cold to some, but pretty darn cold for Eastern North Carolina. 

But, inside The Everyday Home, there are signs of  Spring

starting to pop up here and there.  I look as Spring decorating like

the tulips and jonquils I have planted in our yard.

Even though it isn’t quite Spring, I see a promise with just the tips

of the bulbs bursting through the ground.

Slowly, you see more and more until they are in full bloom. 

This little Spring Vignette and DIY Easter Egg Rag Garland

is just the “tip.”

surely warm up your soul and get you in the Spring decorating spirit.

I found these oversized speckled eggs at Hobby Lobby

($3.99/ea 40% off)

and my creativity kicked into gear.  I wanted to make a

rag-style garland to hang above the little blue chest in

our Breakfast Room. 

I made my way back to the scrapbooking section, where I found

some super cute letter stickers that were in fun Spring

colors and prints.

Finally, a package of Fat Quarters which coordinated with

the sticker colors…

I cut about half of each fabric section into 1″ wide strips.  

You will only need but about 24-36 strips total. 

The letters went on easy – just a matter of sticking them to the eggs

and burnishing them with your fingers to make sure they adhered. 

I used several strips of plain ole’ jute to create the banner.  

The Easter Eggs came with an gauzy ribbon bow attached.  

I used this to tie onto the jute garland.

 Then, I just started tying on the fabric strips

until the garland was full and the spaces between each

egg was filled in. 

I added fresh tulips (one of my top three fave flowers)

and white ironstone and cute, Spring dishes.

I love the yellow Bunny plate, and purchased the ruffled pink 

bowls several years ago at Marshall’s. 

I love how the blue of the chest works so well with all of

these Spring colors. 

I propped up my little “Love Bears All Things” Chalkboard sign…

The colors of the stickers and the fabric strips are perfect together.

If you didn’t have access to the larger eggs, I think it would be just

as cute to use smaller speckled eggs and dangle them at

varying lengths down the garland.

*These speckled eggs would be cute to use. 

You could handwrite letters to create whatever message you wanted

on your garland. 

What message would you like to make?

Thanks for letting me share my Spring Vignette &

DIY Easter Egg Garland with you.  

Enjoy the other projects – I know you will!
