Easter Eggs Flower Napkin Rings

If you're looking for fun ways to make Easter exciting this year, have I got an awesome event to enjoy! I'm part of a group of creative blogger who have joined together to share creative ideas on a Hoppy Easter Blog Hop. Each day, one of us will share a fabulous Easter theme project. I'm kicking off the hop today with a cute how-to on easter eggs flower napkin rings. Easter Blog Hop

The best part about making these adorable napkin rings is that they are so easy to create using inexpensive items available from the dollar or craft stores:
- Tiny easter eggs (small table scatters - Dollar Tree)
- Jumbo craft sticks
- Hot glue gun
- Washi tape
- Small round container
To make the craft stick napkin rings, begin by soaking jumbo craft sticks in hot water overnight or longer, making sure the sticks are completely submerged. Once the sticks are saturated and soft, take one out of the water (cools fast), grab the ends of the stick with your fingers and slowly bend gently, bringing the ends together. Don't worry if you break a few, that's bound to happen.





As you are bending, insert the stick into a small round container to dry.





I used small ramekins so I could overlap the ends. Make sure the stick is level in the container, touching the bottom and evenly placed or it will dry crooked.





Wait until the craft sticks are completely dry before removing.





After the sticks are dry, apply the washi tape beginning at the exposed end, wrapping it around.











You might have to open the curved craft stick sideways to apply the tape evenly and straight. Once the tape is on, cut off the excess.





Glue the end overlapping sticks together and clamp in place until glue is dry. The plain washi tape decorated curved craft stick is adorable as a napkin ring on its' own. But we want it to look even prettier, by adding the egg flower!





To make the egg flower, take two small eggs and dab a little hot glue on one of the narrow ends and press together until the glue dries.





Continue dabbing hot glue on the next egg until you have glued together six tiny eggs into a closed circle.





Start gluing on a second row between two in the first row until you have a closed circle of five eggs. And finally, glue on an egg in the enter of the last layer for a finished egg flower.





Apply hot glue to the bottom center eggs and press the flower to the center of the overlapped craft ends until dry.
