easter bags

We have having yet an other gathering - it seems all roads lead to our house at the moment. We have invited 20 odd kids tomorrow, to come and decorate eggs - each child is to bring 6 hard boiled eggs and an art smock - I provide dye, glue and glitter - perhaps some chips and cordial as well.

And basically they can craft away until things get to out of control and then I will start dropping subtle hints for home time....

I wanted to make a party favour that concealed the chocolate contents and required adult supervision..........this is result

SUPPLIES
vellum strip 10.5cm x 29.5cm
one pretty pretty paper cut into eater shape approx 10cm long
sewing machine
chocolate surprises for inside


I traced egg shapes on the back of pretty pretty paper then cut out


sew using sewing machine to vellum approx 4cm from the top of paper


strips of vellum ready to be folded


fold leaving a 2.5cm -3cm lip
sew sides using the zig zag stitch
a little pouch has been created


Insert Easter chocolate surprises we have supported the Bilby cause


fold lip over and sew shut !!!!!!!!!


ready and hidden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
