I totally love how my Easter Egg Door Hanger turned out. It was one of those projects that you have an idea in your head and you hope it will turn out at least as cute as you are picturing it will. In the end it turned out even cuter than I had hoped!! Only issue is that since it is made on cardboard it keeps flipping over in the breeze. I'll have to see if my hubby can help me figure out a way to solve that.
So here's what I did:
Cut out a cardboard egg shape to the size I wanted. Then I covered the front of the egg in some cream handmade paper. In the end this didn't show much, but I didn't want any of the brown cardboard showing. Next I went to my large collection of scraps of scrapbook paper. I attached them with scrapbooking tape. Then I covered it in three coats of ModPodge. When it was completely dry I hot clued buttons in rows in between the scrapbook paper strips. I have tons of buttons in lots of colors, so I barely made a dent in my button jar. Then I punched holes and attached a wire for hanging and tied a jute bow on top.
