Kissing eggs
AMAZING.
SUPPLIES:
- 4” white Styrofoam ball
- 90-100 pearl tipped corsage pins
- Two sheets scrapbook paper – I used a pearlized pink for one ball and a matte pale pink for the other in these pictures
- Martha Stewart hydrangea punch
Step 1. You’ll need to punch 180-200 of the hydrangea petal shapes, which will take around a sheet and a half of 12×12 scrapbook paper.
Step 2. After the shapes are all punched, curl the edges of the petals upward and to the center. This will give the flowers some dimension when they are complete.
Step 3. Stack two of the flower petals and turn them a bit so it looks like a full flower. Stick a corsage pin straight through the center of your petals.
Step 4. Push the end of the pin into the Styrofoam ball, the repeat until your ball is covered.
I started mine by making a row around the center and filling in each half a concentric row at a time. Make sure your flowers are close enough that the petals cover the Styrofoam. If you’re going to sit them flat by themselves on the table as I did for my centerpieces, you can leave about 2 inches on the bottom bare of flowers so the balls have a bit more stability. If you cover the entire ball, these would look pretty in a bowl or with ribbons pinned among the petals to hang them.

Wow, these are so cute! I love that you used a punch to create the flowers– so crafty! Well, I think I’m going to have to try this one out for my Easter table. You girls keep me busy with your creative projects!
These are gorgeous!! I`ve got to get that punch! I also shared this on my blog today: http://vixenmade.blogspot.ca/2012/03/15-spring-decor-ideas.html
I made eggs similar to that years ago but using sequins instead of paper. I love the flowers, very classy.
