Papercut eggs

By now you have all seen the new Martha Stewart cover right?

I knew those eggs were going to be in my immediate future since I am a bit of a behind the scenes papercutting fanatic after making the squirrel Valentines.
Of course NOTHING I ever attempt from Martha turns out like it should, but they are pretty darn cute. And actually they didn't make me want to stab myself with the decorative scissors while making them, which is a bonus when doing Martha projects. LOL

This guy is my favorite.
It has been so windy here this year that I sometimes think we are actually living in Chicago. My little photo shoot didn't quite work out as expected because of that wind, but you get the idea.
If you want to make them and haven't done so already my suggestions:
* Try and coat your egg completely with modge podge first, let it dry, then put the cut outs on the eggs. My cut outs are no longer white because the dye from the eggs bleeds when you modge podge them on.

* Play around with resizing her patterns. Some were too big to bend around the egg nicely and that made them a little wrinkly when you put them on the egg.
I made a needle for the ribbons with a piece of wire, but it still didn't work perfectly and I cracked one of the eggs threading the ribbon through it. She used some kind of giant needle which I couldn't find. I am not sure what the answer for that problem is!
A lot of cars in this photo, but it's the best photo of the hatching chick.

The eggs are up on the Easter tree, and they really are cute. Speaking of the Easter tree, photos of it tomorrow I hope.

Jack and I are off to the magic house for the day. It should be fun!
