Easter Surprise Eggs

Hello friends! I'm back today to show you how I decided to send off my bunnies...in surprise eggs! Surprise balls are old-fashioned children's gifts, where little trinkets are wrapped up in layers of crepe paper. I decided to modify the surprise ball idea to make surprise eggs.

First, I found large (six-inch) plastic eggs and fun goodies to fill them with.

Once the egg was filled, I attached crepe paper to the bottom of the egg with washi tape, and began winding the crepe paper around the egg.

It doesn't look super great at the beginning, but you just keep winding.

As you go, you slip little trinkets in the layers of crepe paper, so that they will fall out and surprise the recipient when it is unwrapped!

Once I finished wrapping the egg in crepe paper, I taped the end of the paper down with more washi tape, and then decorated the egg with a sticker.
