I made these eggs for Ryan's dad, Jim, for Christmas two years ago, after learning that he collects decorative eggs. Since I had never made - or even heard of - Washi eggs before, I had pretty much no idea what I was getting myself into when I ordered the kit online.
Materials:
Wooden eggs (in kit)
Wooden egg stands (in kit)
Chiyogami paper (decorative Japanese paper - in kit)
Gloss finishing glaze (in kit)
Paint brush (in kit)
Craft glue
Scissors
After a whole lot of cutting and pasting, here are my finished products.
Want to make your own? Here's where you can get a kit.I bet it would be super badass if someone made a bunch of them and displayed them in a nice, big glass bowl with a really wide mouth. I actually thought about doing that, but then I remembered how long each egg took me, and that was the end of that brilliant idea.
One of these days, though...
