How to create a dimensional easter egg card - joanne bain

BASIC EGG MATERIALS - Egg shape template - Google it there are heaps on the web. PLEASE NOTE - it needs to fold evenly in half. Graphic 45 - #4501091 - Precious Memories 6x6 Paper Pad and ribbon.

Once you have created a template in the shape of an egg you will need to trace around it 12 times on your choice of patterned paper.

Cut them all out.

Fold each egg shape in half evenly.

You should have 12 eggs folded nicely in half.

We are creating 2 halves of the egg, so you will need to glue 6 together as shown, then repeat the process with the other 6. PLEASE NOTE - only glue along the folded edge only.

Allow glue to dry.

Now fold out each half of the egg.

You should now half 2 half eggs like above.

Creating the inside of the card. You will need a scrap of card stock big enough to allow you to trace 2 egg shapes side by side.

Trace around egg template.

Cut around the egg shape leaving and small piece uncut for a fold line. Fold the egg shape over and then cut around the other egg shape.

It should look like this if it was done correctly.

Now cover the inside with your choice of patterned paper. Cut around as this will be the inside of the card.

Choose some ribbon to tie your egg closed. Attach the ribbon to the back side of the inside card backing. Now attach the inside card to the egg halves as shown.

It should look like this from behind when it is opened.

Close and the basic egg if finished. Ready for you to decorate and way you choose. Please continue on if you wish to see the steps as to how I decorated mine.
