Easter egg decorating

- Years ago, as a family, we had lots of eggs that we had decorated which unfortunately got smashed several years ago. So I decided to start a new collection with my kids who are now adults! These are the eggs laid by the Aracana hens, so they are quite small. I have a personal rule that I won’t eat, or sell, fertile eggs, it’s just my own peculiarity, and these birds have a cockerel with them. So this idea occurred to me. We had a huge amount of fun, which is, after all, the whole idea.
❤️ Lovely, all your children joining on and having fun xx wish my children would do things like that xx bless you all xx
Oh, my mom did this years ago when I was a kid and hung them on a branch from our back yard. I remember her blowing the eggs out and thinking, hmm…okay. 😂 Now I think I’d try it myself!
Loved watching this. Looking really good. We did the first eggs ever this year with my 3 year old. It was so nice :) A trick we do in Norway is to tie the string around a piece of a match stick, poke it through the hole, and when you pull at the thread the stick goes horrisontal, almost like an anker. Classic trick :)
Genius! Gluing fabric scraps. Who knew? (You knew:o) Another cool thing is to colored tissue paper that bleeds when it gets wet. Tear it into little pieces and stick to eggs with water. When dry, peel off the tissue. For the ribbons, I use a really long needle and run the ribbon all the way through and tie a bow at the end. You can add a ribbon rose, too. I've also used clear stretchy stuff used to make stretchy bracelets and hang Swarovski crystals. Craft on!
They’re beautiful, Kate.🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺💕
What a beautiful memory made for all! 💕
I know this is an older video about eggs and hens. I would love videos on raising hens. I would love to have some.
I think it’s great that your grown children will still craft with you!!!!! My daughters and I are planning a girls weekend this fall and I think I’ll be planning us a craft! Thank you for the inspiration!

I love the 15 seconds ads however not many of them LOL😂
Aww your precious ones...what wonderful fun! If I was Liberty fabric, I'd want to belong to you. 😍
You know how to do everything I love watching your videos. What beautiful gifts you have thanks for sharing. Love your sister in Christ.
Kate, your eggs are so delightful! I love decorating eggs, too. One summer long ago, my two sisters moved a thousand miles away. I decided to make them blown and painted Christmas eggs. My niece still has some of them. This brought back so many memories!
How beautiful those eggs turned out! I especially liked how your adult children were such good sports about helping with decorating the eggs. They are so sweet! You have such a lovely family!
How fun is this!!! What a great thing to do for Easter!!! I loved the eggs that you put your fabric on!! Oh heck, I loved them all!! Thanks again Kate for another awesome video!!
Very, very cool Kate! 😎
Lovely family memories and keepsakes.
What a rich life we can all have, if we would just take the time and be a bit thoughtful. Thank you for your wonderful example.
My Own Kind Of Man I. Guessing you guys are home now? I remember coming back fro New Zealand five years ago and wandering around in a daze for a week while I adjusted. Such a long flight!
I hope you had a fabulous time - you and Kristi

The Last Homely House East of the Sea - We landed back home last Wednesday while you were filming part 4 of the Easter quilt, and we still can't seem to get to sleep before 4am!
I had my first day back at work today, though heaven knows what I actually did! I'm trying to get as much sun and garden as I can to get back in rythm with nature in this part of the world. We had the *_best_* time! 😃 Amsterdam was just magical! We had no plans, and just made each day up as we felt like it. I didn't manage to find the cafe though, the weather conspired against us when we went to the market near there, so I guess we saved you the cost of a cuppa 😁
My Own Kind Of Man next time then!!! Belated happy birthday!! Xx
Beautiful eggs, beautiful day! 😊🌺🐰 Hi from Oregon.
Kate, what is Liberty fabric? Enjoying your videos!
If you still don’t know (I see you asked 7 months ago), Liberty’s is a classy department store in London, famous for its fabrics and (usually flowery) patterns.
Wonderful video.Treasured moments of memory making with your kids.Loved the idea of using the Liberty scraps to decorate the eggs.Inspiring.
I love that idea. I had forgotten that my grandmother spent one year doing that and painting scenes in oils. 🥰
Morning Kate, the Easter bunny has come..So sweet to see your children with you, having Mom time....when they are grown we cherish those together times...Really lovely..the eggs are GORGEOUS..
Ewwwwwwww
I started watching this for the chickens and ended up here. My mom is Polish and we take Easter very, very seriously in my family.
What she used to do is bend a piece of fine wire in half--about a foot long so six inches--and cross the ends twice to form a loose loop.
Then she'd thread it through the egg, put some string or ribbon through the loop and pull it back through the egg and secure it on both ends with a knot. She puts up an egg tree every year with branches from one of her flowering trees and some of them she made over 50 years ago.
By the way your daughter really looks like you.

I love your beautiful eggs.its a great idea.especially the apple tree branch. thats bringing nature inside..
Oh Kate they are wonderful! I am so glad I found you, I feel drawn to you. We have been crafting here too, I am working on a patchwork hexagon project using up scraps and Miss 8 has used some of the tiny scraps to glue on an egg for our Easter display, it looks wonderful. Have a great Easter.
Wendy Bellhouse thank you so much Wendy. I’ve watched RUclipsrs for a long time, but it’s only since I got super fast broadband that I’ve been able to upload. I wasn’t prepared for how much I was going to enjoy making these little videos and engaging with people from all over our wonderful planet. I am really grateful that people are willing to give up their time for my little chats about this and that! Thank you! Xxx very much xxxx
I bet you were the best mum. Eggs turned out fantastic.
you'd have to ask my kids about that! xxx
Oh you have so much fun! How wonderful that your adult children came by to help. Did this w/ my children when they were young - did wax relief as well. They loved decorating eggs and we did varnish a few favs each year and save but eventually w/ moving house several times they are sadly all gone. We would hang on flowering branches or willow branches I forced to bloom. I will have to take a wet walk in swamp today and look for pussy willows to bring in. The trees around my house are all decorated w/ little yellow and purple finches - it is mating season and they are all pairing off. Wish I could get a photo but too grey and foggy outside. I love Spring!!! Have a wonderful Easter/Spring.
Cynthia Hamblin-Perry what a lovely story - I love the picture you create of the birds. Happy Easter ❤️😊
Oh my goodness Kate, you are so creative. What a way to make beautiful Easter eggs and happy memories with your family at the same time. It was nice seeing some of your family too! The eggs are high enough the cats won't think you just made them some fancy toys to play with. lol The cats had a fine meal with the left over eggs, I'm sure they were licking their lips after that. :) Now for a nice long cat nap. Have a great day!
Kate L. Well out of the reach of cats!!! Xxx
I love that you covered the eggs with fabric. I was just thinking yesterday that I wish i had something to do with all the small scraps of fabric. I hate to throw them away. Thank you t will try this this coming Easter 🐣. I love your videos ❤❤❤ have a wonderful day.
THIS is fanTAStic! oooo I never thought of fabric scraps on eggs. I still have these ridiculous eggs that my Gram and i made when I was a kid, and they are looking very haggard. This might be a delightful refresh.
Happy Easter to you ... love the eggs, especially the fabric ones. Thanks for an idea of how to use some of the scraps from my quilting projects. I found you through Hercules Candy Channel ... they mentioned you on a live stream.
Simply Annie I do love those HC folk! The caramel video I made has nearly 2K views because of them! I think they are hilarious and so hard working! 😊❤️
Great idea I especially like the Liberty scrap material one! Xx
What a great idea, wonderful memories
I really like the idea of covering them with fabric! Brilliant 🤩
Beautiful! Your project reminded me of the first time I painted eggs for ornaments. I was in nursing school and we were to decorate the Christmas tree in the hospital main lobby. While the class was collecting the eggs for the project, I saw a sleeve of tin can lids from my grandfathers store (he died before I was born) The cans were no longer suitable to use for food processing so the cans and lids were designated for craft projects. So anyway, we decorated the eggs and canlids for the tree. for the can lids, we painted designs as desired and most of us glued ribbon, beads, etc in the outer rim of the lid to frame our artwork. For the eggs, we put a small hole on the pointy end of the egg, larger hole in the bigger end, washed them out, let them dry, then used a long large eyed needle and threaded it with small ribbon or yarn, made a knot bigger than the small hole and still small enough to go in large hole. Next we threaded the egg from the big end and out the top so the knot would be resting under the small hole inside the egg, clipped the needle off and tied a small bow or knot at the top as desired. For the single loop like you made, we threaded the needle with our ribbon or string, knotted only a single strand , threaded the egg as above but since it is single thickness, took the needle back down through the top, looping the string around a pencil or other small object (prevents our hanging loop from going back into egg) back on the rounded end of the egg, remove the needle, knot the string and use the pencil if needed to help pull the looped end up in position. You now have two knots inside your eggshell and a single loop on top coming from the small hole to hang your ornament. next- paint/decorate as desired. The favorite two designs I did for my eggs were 1) painting small holly leaves with 2-3 small red berries- scattered around the ornament and 2) painted the egg a dark blue background surrounding a nativity scene. I stored my egg ornaments in eggcartons and brought them out year after year. ..... I had not thought to glue fabric to them... Beautiful job. I will have to do that again... not sure I have the air power to blow those eggs... that is a job.
I just remembered the concern and fear my classmates had at the thought of decorating canlids... the sharp edges... until they saw there were no sharp edges- these lids were never used- had never been placed on cans - the area that seals to the can was the rim that was decorated to frame the ornament- also the area used to punch a hole for the hanger.... Thanks for the memories.
Rebecca Foust wonderful! I can really picture all that you say - the knot in the large hole and pulled through to the small would have worked better on these eggs - the glue worked , but your way I’d better.
I love making things from discarded ‘rubbish’ I’ve been wanting to replace the eggs that were broken years ago for a while now - this was such a lovely project to do with my kids xxxxx
Thank you for sharing that
Happy Easter
Xxxxx
I love this. My kids would love this!
Aw those eggs are gorgeous..well done you 👏🏻👏🏻 xx
What a wonderful project!
Lovely family time! Thanks for the tip to use gesso. The view from beneath the egg mobile was beautiful. Happy Easter !
Gwyn Wellliver thank you! It’s the only view that showed only the eggs, everywhere else has some sparkly think in the way! 😂
I love your beautiful eggs, especially the liberty ones xx
Hello Kate, easter is coming again even though it is 2 years later now. You asked for another way to put the hangers in. We used wooden matches but I guess little tree branches would work too. Just break them down into little pieces that fit into the top of the egg, tie the hanger around it and push the little match with the knot vertical through the hole in the egg. The match repositions itself horizontally inside the egg and holds it that way. It is harder to explain than to actually make. Have a creative day!
such beautiful!
This was fun. Thank you💗
Hi Kate,
Beautiful, creative Easter eggs and gorgeous kids! What more could you want?
It's nice that you could spend a creative time together as a family.
I wish you and your family and all your animals a beautiful Easter.
Dear Greetings Send You

Claudia Ebert I have another son, he lives in London, my kids and their partners are so lovely! I just love spending time with them all. Happy Easter to you too xxxxx
some of your luster craft paint would be fabulous on the eggs!
Suggestion: Change the big hole to the small end of the egg. Run the ribbon on a long needle through the big hole pointy end so the knot stops inside the small hole end. A sequin or star or bit of pretty cut cloth can cover the big hole in the pointy end of the egg that doesn't have the ribbon coming through. They are wonderful hanging from the chandelier )))
How cute! I'm going to give it a try!!
OOO! They're very pretty, good job. Have a Happy Easter
Fab film 😘
They are beautiful! I use to make cascarones when my son and nieces/nephews were little. If you haven't seen them Google cascarones. The eggs are emptied and dyed then filled with confetti. The children get to run and play and crack them over each other's heads! They have become popular for weddings as well
Firefly Hollow they sound like my kind of thing! Google here I come! X❤️😊
What a good idea I’m going to copy that 🙂
I checked them out - I’ve stored that idea away for an appropriate occasion! Thank you xxxx
I think that I would like to come create with you, every day is something neat. Too bad its such a long swim across the pond as they say.
Lovely!
Really cool 👏👏
Lovely decoration. Nice that some of your family could come and make memories with you. I think I like your sense of humour! Poor Ed. May I ask what is Liberty fabric? Enjoy your Easter.
Busy Beaver another commenter called him Egg Sheeron! 😂
Liberty is a very iconic uk brand. It’s a shop primarily, Liberty of London, selling a whole host of beautiful and expensive things from a very amazing building. The fabric is much thinner than ordinary cotton, more like silk to feel, but it’s the designs, they have become famous over more than a century. I use them to make quilts ..... I must make a video about that - I’ll add it to the list!!!! Xxxxx
Wonderful
OMG its my first time here and your already great love it and tommorow is easter sunday great video🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I did Easter eggs with my kids years ago, good memories ❤️
Oh, Ed versus Liberty? I love them both.
You are precious. I'm going to find a charm that reads "TOO MUCH" that you must wear to warn people.
ha ha ha!! what you don't see is all the times I'm not filming! ha ha!!! xxx
I agree--Ed Sheeran is great! My Mom used to blow eggs and made Christmas ornaments. She'd glue ribbon and beads, etc. They were very pretty, but not the sturdiest.
LOLOLOL
I hope you're tweeting Egg Sheeran with a picture of his eggy self?
Tree D this is the best idea! I don’t really ‘do’ twitter, though I do have an account (Johnsmum) (of course) so I may just do as you suggest! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It would be funny, if the Ed Sheeran Egg could start to sing ;)
What is liberty fabric?
Ahhh - now! that is quite a question! if you stay tuned to the channel I have a series planned where I will explain all and make a few things for you to see! Ahhh! Liberty! xxxx
