just hatched

It’s been a while since I’ve posted.  Sorry about that. 

Anyways, with Easter on the way, I wanted to post a quick tutorial! 

Altered Egg Box

• You will need one of these totally adorable boxes, available from papertreyink.com  They are very durable and have crisp & clean corners.  Very easy to alter….and very inexpensive! 
• Next pick out your color/paper theme.  I have been LOOOOOOVING the “Lush” line.  I chose the brown and vintage turquoise. 
• Gather your supplies:  Your choice of adhesives,  (my most favorite adhesive for these types of projects are by Xyron 510….and a little bit of double-sided tape, if need be), paper cutter, punches or knife (for cutting egg-holes), ribbon, embellishments, stamps.  You will also need some plastic eggs and your choice of filling.   

• I chose to fill my eggs with yummy Easter chocolates, although you could use anything you like.  (I would love to find WHITE plastic eggs, but have yet to find them anywhere).

• Once the eggs are finished, the fun embellishing can begin! 
• I love to use wire ribbon…it’s so easy to make pretty bows and twirl the ends!!

• Papertreyink also makes coordinating stamps, Just Hatched,  to go with the Egg Boxes.  I used my Marvy Punches, (scalloped oval for the tag), a vintage-looking pin and added a little bling.

That’s it!!  Such a quick, easy project, that looks fantastic!!! 

What are you making for Easter?
