Hi!  This is Wendy with Birds of a Feather and I have a fun little tutorial for you today!  What a cute idea for a wedding send off!  They are easy to make and oh so super cute!  These eggs are said to bring good luck to the person who’s head they are smashed over – how fun is that?!

Let’s start with the supplies you will need.  If you find yourself crafting quite a bit like me, you more than likely have some of the items lying around already.

Carton of eggs (get the white ones, the dye shows up better)//Cups to put the dye in ( I bought these PAAS cups at Target to make things easier)//Egg tongs (these work SO much better than the cheap little wire one that comes with the dying kit – it is also useful for holding the eggs under the dye)//White vinegar//Sharp, pointy knife//Thin wooden dowel//Large bowl ( or you can empty eggs over kitchen sink)//Easter egg dye kit//Tooth picks//Rubber gloves//Rubber bands (optional)//Paper confetti//Glitter and a shallow container to pour it into (I used the lid of a mason jar)//White tissue paper//scissors//Modge Podge//Sponge applicator

Pastel, an editing style?

Muted colors, lots of cream shadows, and popping teals and blues are brushed over these beautiful wedding day details. The style seems to reflect the feel of the Easter celebration. “According to the canonical gospels, Jesus, rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. His resurrection is celebrated on Easter Day or Easter Sunday”- Wikipedia  What is more perfect for a spring celebration than soft whites with romantic pinks and blues?

All of the photographs were found here, Bonjour Tristesse. If you love the pastel, melancholy look then you might spend hours here perusing the images.
