Easte Egg Ribbon Ideas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Not a hairbow, but a friend of mine said she saw somewhere a craft where you wrap ribbon around an egg and then use stiffener to keep the ribbon in the egg shape after the egg is removed. Sounds like it would be a good craft to do with the kids, but any idea how to do it so you can remove the egg once the ribbon is stiff enough??

Re: Easte Egg Ribbon Ideas
Isn't that the same as, back then (gosh, I feel so old...lol), where you blow up a balloon, cut pieces of newspaper, dip 'em into a bowl of cornstarch (diluted coz it acts as glue) and slap it unto the balloon (talking about 5 layers of the paper pieces)? To get a ball effect? And then, you just pop the balloon when it's totally dried?
Just thinking out loud...ignore me if it's off subject...

Re: Easte Egg Ribbon Ideas
ooohh my mom did something like this. but she used colored string and a balloon. i *think* she sprayed the balloon with pam or something, but not sure.
She dipped the string ~ or I imagine you could substitute ribbon ~ in regular white glue watered down a bit. Then wrapped it around the balloon. When dry she carefully released the air in the balloon. a sudden pop might collapse your artwork. But put tape in a criss cross and make a pin sized hole in the balloon. As is deflates pull it away from the sides. She would cut a hole in the side to decorate the inside like a littel shadow box too. Lots of ricrack! Have fun!

Re: Easte Egg Ribbon Ideas
I've never used spray stiffner so I can't help there.
