DIY: Party Egg Ghosts

-
EN

Two weeks left!
Get your Halloween decorations and ornaments ready or! Make a refreshing new one with eggs! How wonderful are eggs really, these versatile friends.
Instead of making something edible I’ve used the egg shells and turn them into ghosts. Happy party ghosts!

This is actually really fun DIY with kids and also a good training in motor skills because having gentle hands is a must while working with fragile egg shells. I’ll admit: I broke one during the process, oops.

Anyway. I’ve managed to keep most ghosts alive ironically and made them all hover colourfully in my room.

Nog twee weken en dan is het zover!
Haal je Halloween decoraties en ornamenten alvast tevoorschijn of! Maak een nieuwe met eieren want eieren zijn top dingen in ’t leven echt waar. Maar in plaats van het maken van iets eetbaars heb ik de eierschalen gebruikt voor knutsel activiteiten: blij feest spoken!

Dit is eigenlijk een leuke DIY project met kinderen en is daarnaast een goede motoriek training. De kwetsbare eierschalen vragen nou eenmaal om teder en behendige handen. Ik zal eerlijk zijn: ik heb er helaas eentje gebroken, oeps.  

Toch, ik ben erin geslaagd om de meeste spoken in leven te houden ironisch genoeg en ze zweven kleurrijk door mijn kamer!



You need:
Eggs, paint, stickers, tapes, washi tapes and other thinkable decorations (glitter, colorings, you name it!), thread

Instructions
  1. Break the eggs into half and catch the egg content in a bowl for baking purpose.
  2. Clean and the rinse the egg shells carefully and thoroughly and let it dry. 

    Decorating time!
  3. Pain the inside of the egg shells with your favorite color. 
  4. Draw happy/scary/spooky/funky/weird ghost faces.
  5. Glam up the party ghost by decorating it with tapes, stickers and anything else you desire!
  6. Cut a piece of thread between 15-25 cm and attach it on top of the egg with tape.


Glamorize time!

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas!

Please try it out!    NL Deze week is mijn eerste werk week weer begonnen na een heerli

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/broodjes/Da
