How To : Mod Podge Egg Garland

This was a labour of love but it was worth it and I am excited to have a new tutorial for you.

A few notes before beginning:

• To Modge Podge the fabric to the eggs took me about 3 hours from beginning to end and I did sixteen eggs. The flowers were easy peazy and the threading took only minutes as well.
  
• The Modge Podging makes the eggs strong enough to be collected by little ones on Easter but pretty enough to collect in a bowl or thread on a garland. If I hadn't already sewn up two dozen fabric eggs this is what I would have done for her to collect.
• I did notice after all was said and done that the darker/brighter the fabric the better it looked when dried. I did up four to begin with and almost didn't finish because I wasn't sure if I liked them with the paler fabrics. As soon as I added the bright yellow and purple though I loved them.
• Also, you want to talk frugal? These scraps are the size of quarters and the eggs came from a couple weeks of baking.
  
• I wasn't sure if you would want to make the same flowers I made, but just in case I made a quick video tute because pictures would have taken too long to show you what a video does in 1:30s. Also, don't laugh when you see me burn myself.

Materials:
Blown out eggs (If you have never done this before, you can find out here.)
Lots of super small fabric scraps
