Eggcellent place cards


These personalized eggs are perfect place cards for Easter dinner.
You'll need:
Eggs
Egg holder
Acrylic craft paint
Small paintbrush
Small letter stickers
What to do:
Rest an egg sideways on an egg holder and dip in dye bath of desired color, but hold the egg so the top third of the egg stays above the dye bath and remains white. Let dry completely. Pour a small amount of acrylic craft paint in desired color on a plastic plate or wax paper. Dip the non-brush end of a small paintbrush into the paint and dab on egg to create a dot. Paint dots around the white oval. When the paint dries, apply letter stickers to spell a name or just one sticker for an initial. Tips: Acrylic craft paints are inexpensive and available at craft stores. Small letter stickers are available in the scrapbooking section of the craft store.

  2. This is a clever way to do it, they look great. I was just going to use the "crayon method" when I colored mine for the tablescape. I decided against it because I personally hate it when people tell me where I am supposed to sit. Do you think most people prefer it and I'm just a bit odd?
