Easter eggs! I used white Sculpey Polymer Clay to make these eggs.
First I rolled a some clay into a small ball.
I shaped the ball into an egg shape by rolling the circle in my hand, but doing it more on one half of the circle than on the other.
I made seven of these and baked them. They took about 45 minutes to bake.
After the eggs were baked, I used them to make the holder. I formed the clay into a rectangle, about 3/8 of an inch thick. I placed the egg on the rectangle and squished it down.
I did this eight times. Squishing the clay around with the eggs distorted the original rectangle, so before I baked the holder I smoothed everything out and corrected the edges. The holder took about an hour to bake.
Once everything was baked, I mixed together some acrylic paint and painted the eggs each a different color. I painted the holder brown.
Finished product!
The eggs are hiding in the grass 🙂
Size comparison!
Now the Easter baskets have colored eggs in them!
They were fairly easy to assemble.
The pattern requires sewing a snap on the shoulder closure (which is needed to get the tank on and off the doll). I used a little piece of Velcro. It isn’t as flat and uniform as it would be with a snap, but Velcro is easier to fasten. The picture above shows the Velcro over the left shoulder. I may try the snap method in the future, though.
