Instructions
To start making these Ribbon and Paper Eggs, cut or tear tissue paper into 1" - 2" pieces. Push skewer into center bottom of foam egg for handle.
Working one section at a time, use stiff brush to spread thin layer of glue onto egg surface.
Use small brush to gently spread glue onto back of one tissue section, paying close attention to edges. Position paper on egg, and carefully smooth tissue onto egg, clipping edges as needed to paper lays flat against surface. Use same brush to apply additional tissue paper until egg is covered, overlapping pieces as needed.
Place skewer in heavy glass or jar; let egg dry completely. Remove skewer.
Cut four 16" lengths from ribbons of choice. Beginning and ending at center bottom, glue ribbons lengthwise around egg, dividing it into eight equal sections as shown. Clip ribbon edges as needed so ribbon lays flat against surface. Apply additional glue to clipped edges as needed; secure ribbon with pins until dry. Remove pins.
