easy egg tutorial...

here is a quick egg decorating tutorial for you...
I love the paper mache eggs that are covered in script...


like these from Jeanne de arc living.
so this is a my simple version of how to make these, cheaply!!!!


a dozen plastic white eggs from Hobby Lobby,
.99 cents for 12, but they are on sale for 40% off right now!!!!


stamp some white tissue...


and decoupage it on the eggs, so fast and easy,
leave them white...


or antique them,
I just rubbed some dark wax on these...


so easy!!!
