You can decorate your eggs however you like. I used a variety of items here to demonstrate some variations. I personally find just the cloth covered non-decorated egg very pretty. I used raffia for a makeshift ‘nest’. Raffia works well because it does not have to be perfect to be pretty.

You can place them in a basket, in a crate, in a crock…or perhaps use them in egg cups with place cards.

I chose to place mine in the middle of an arrangement on my husband’s great-grandmother’s organ and am actually thinking of ‘grubbying’ up another batch to replace these.

I will also mention that these are very easy for small hands to make–so let your little ones get dirty helping you make a few dozen for whatever project you have in mind. (Little girls love having ‘fancy eggs’ for their play kitchen.)
