ok so i just use regular white printer paper , wad it up about how many layers did you use? and how long did it take to dry completely?
I am trying to make this as I speak, it has taken me hours to get as far as I have gotten, the pot I purchased at the dollar store was ten dollars not to mention all the tape I have already used and will probably have to back and purchase more, I am using a huge pot though as it is for twins,either I am not doing something right or just simply having problems getting duct tape to stick but it doesn’t look like any egg I’ve ever seen..lol hopefully it gets better as I have a photo session this week and would like to use it:)
I have to say, this is just TOO cute!
A store called Big Lots/Odd Lots. But it was not that shape. I cut the top off, then cut the peaks. Surprisingly, it was very easy to cut with an old scissors. I saved the top to use upside down as a form for an “egg holder”.
But that’s a project for next year’s easter photo because I have been inspired by Deyanna’s boat for my Father’s Day Nautical Pictures!
Teri, the egg is adorable. Could you tell us where you found the plastic flower pot? I can’t remember ever seeing one like that.
