Designer Dozen

These decorative homemade Easter eggs will be cherished year after year. To make them, start with craft eggs, available from good craft shops, then cover each one with a favourite fabric design (perfect to use up offcuts or sample pieces of fabric). Use different prints to make the eggs adaptable for varying colour schemes. Once the material is selected, stick it down with PVA glue. To elevate a sideboard, fireplace or tablescape, display the eggs in tureens, bonbon jars or in the centre of a spring wreath. Children will love crafting their own designs, which could be hung on a branch of blossom with the addition of pretty ribbon.
