Bunny + Carrot Egg Decorating :: Family Fun

Last week I shared this tutorial over at It's Overflowing.  I was soooo excited to get to be a part of the fun.  Thanks again to my bloggy friend, Aimee for the invite and hosting.  

Have you ever went to a party or event and felt a little underdressed?  That was me at the Easter Egg Hunt Aimee hosted...  I approached it with a family friendly, fun idea -- while some of the other ladies showed up with incredibly fancy, decorative ideas.  Oh well.  After a little blushing, I still walked away excited to be in on the fun -- and I made some new friends.  However, I was excited to be able to bring the fun back to you all today.  This is 100% pure family fun {smile}.

What's a bunny without a carrot?  I couldn't bare to make the bunny eggs without the carrot eggs.  How cruel would that be?  {giggle} Anywho, with a few crafty supplies and a little creativity -- these cuties are super easy and you'll have a "hopping" good time!

So, let's start with a few supplies:

Hard Boiled Eggs (of course), Orange coloring, Pink Pom-Poms,

Wiggle Eyes (optional), Glue Gun, Black Magic Maker, Scissors and White Foam.

With the bunny eggs, you'll simply start by hot gluing on your wiggly eyes and pink pom-pom.  Then free hand a few whiskers.  Be careful with moisture from the egg -- it can make those whiskers a little problematic if the egg isn't completely dry.  

I didn't take pictures of the bunny ear process, but you'll trace out the ears on your white foam -- whatever shape and size you desire.  Cut and hot glue them on as well.  I added a few eyelashes and a pink bow to the little girl.  Accessorizing may be a fun add-on for your family festivities.

The carrot eggs are simply soaked in the orange coloring for 15-20 minutes, so you can get a bright orange.  I also added the vinegar to my water -- as suggested on the packaging.  Wrap some green raffia together, tie or knot and hot glue that to the top of your orange egg -- and, well, you have yourself a DARLING little carrot egg.

And you're done!  How fun was that?  

Yep, I'll be partying {here}, {here} and {here} all week long!
