Molly's Sketchbook: Easter Egg Hunt Bags

Hunting for Easter Eggs is such a colorful and fun way to welcome Spring. For a child, seeing a pink or yellow egg poking through a tuft of grass or peeking out from behind a flower pot can feel like winning the lottery! So in celebration of this lovely ritual we decided to make some easy and cute bags for just this purpose, inspired by the pretty designs and Vernal colors of Easter eggs themselves.100% Wool Felt is the perfect material for a quick project like this, it comes in a wide spectrum of incredible colors, and it's such a breeze to sew with since it requires no hemming.

We picked a pretty rainbow of Fettucia Cotton Ribbon and Ecru Ric-Rac  in a variety of widths to accent the bags and make them ultra-Eastery. They'll be great fun to make with the kids after you're done dying eggs!

Hi,

These are very nice. Thank you.

Sort of unrelated question: I was wondering if you have any suggestion on the egg situation for easter? My dilemma is we would rather not paint eggs as we have a 16 month old baby but would love to make something fun that resemble the shape of eggs and he can have fun finding and playing with them.
