We have been making beautiful heirloom eggs to decorate hour home for Easter. This craft makes such pretty eggs… we used transfers to color our eggs beautifully.
All we needed was white blown egg shells (tutorial on how to safely do this is here) and transfers that we found at a craft store… both the rub-on’s and the transfers that need to be dampened with a wet cloth will work.

Kitty and Teddy chose which images they wanted for their eggs and cut neatly around the edges.
We used rub-on’s and they worked wonderfully, sticking nicely to the naturally porous egg shells.
It was a gift to watch the delight on my children’s faces as their eggs got prettier and prettier.
Happy Easter crafting!
Blessings and magic,
Donni

My SIL showed me that trick last year, and I forgot about it until seeing your post just now :) I love your choice of transfers, the eggs turned out beautifully!
These are truly beautiful, wow, I can’t think of a good enough word to describe how much I love these! I have only just found the blog, but will be following closely from now on. We love finding new things to make.

They are gorgeous, Donni! love, Beth
beautiful! i must try these one day.
Lovely! Where did you find those beautiful rub-ons?
Rub-on’s are those transferables you scrapbook with… you know, those things that come on clear plastic pager and you set them on the thing you want to transfer the image to and then rub over them and the image comes off the clear plastic and onto your object.
We found ours at Michaels and I’ve seen really cute ones at Target too.
Enjoy, Darlings :-)

Oh yes, also meant to add that the kiddie tatoos that you wet with a cloth to attach also work wonderfully.
I have found the most wonderful silk scarves and hankies…now have to go looking for rub ons! Thank you.
Oh my! Those are sooo pretty!! Thanks for sharing.
what a wonderful idea! I have seen these transfers before but couldn’t think of what to do with them. I love it!
Oh so thats what you do with the shells from the silk dyed eggs that didn’t work…hold on I have to go to the craft store…I’ll be right back.
