RAG WRAPPED EASTER EGGS

They are so cute, messy but easy to make. Easter Eggs that last and last.
Needfuls:
CHEAP WAL-MART PLASTIC EGGS (the kind you put candy in)
EASTER FABRIC IN COLORS THAT GO GOOD TOGETHER. I GOT 1/4 YARD OF 6 DIFFERENT FABRICS.
I also did up some in different shades of blues and mustard colored fabric.
4 OZ BOTTLE OF SCHOOL GLUE AND 8 OZ OF WARM WATER.
MIX THE GLUE AND WATER TILL WELL MIXED.
CUT (DO NOT RIP) 1/2" WIDE STRIPS OF THE FABRIC X 45" LONG. 2 strips covered one egg nicely..I USED A CUTTING MAT AND ROTARY CUTTER FOR MAKING EVEN WIDTH STRIPS FAST. NOW COVER YOUR WORK SURFACE WITH PAPER OR OLD PLASTIC TABLE CLOTH. LAY A STRIP OF FABRIC IN THE GLUE MIXTURE AND LET IT SOAK UP IN THE GLUE. HERE IS A MESSY PART: PICK UP THE FABRIC STRIP OUT OF THE GLUE MIXTURE, AND OVER THE BOWL OF GLUE MIX RUN THE STRIP OF FABRIC BETWEEN YOUR TWO FINGERS TO REMOVE EXCESS DRIPPING GLUE. BEGIN WRAPPING EGGS, ONE STRIP AT A TIME. YOU WILL NEED ABOUT 4 STRIPS PER EGG TO COVER ALL AREAS. THERE IS NO NEATNESS TO WRAPPING JUST MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE NO BLANK SPOTS AND WRAP TOP TO BOTTOM, NOT AROUND. BLOT YOUR FRESHLY WRAPPED EGG IF IT IS DRIPPING BEFORE SETTING TO DRY. NOW IS THE TIME TO ROLL IN GLASS GLITTER IF YOU WANT TO. JUST PUT THE GLITTER ON PAPER/FOAM PLATE AND CAREFULLY COAT EGGS AND SET ASIDE TO DRY ON FOIL LINED COOKIE SHEETS. ***NO BAKING IN THE OVEN*** THE GLUE WILL DRY CLEAR.
TIP: ADD 3 TABLESPOON INSTANT DRY COFFEE CRYSTALS TO YOUR GLUE MIXTURE FOR PRIM HOMESPUN EGGS AND USE HOMESPUN PLAIDS TO WRAP THE EGGS.

You can find Primitive Dried Green Easter Grass in my eBay store..
