how-to of the day: easy embroidered felt Easter egg ornaments

I know that this project is a little late, seeing as it’s the Easter weekend already, but you’ve still got a couple of days!

To begin, cut egg shapes out of different colored felt – these ones are approximately two inches wide:

Place them on a second piece of felt, but don’t cut it out.  Instead embroider across the eggs, using decorative stitches:

I used plain sewing machine thread and several different stitches on this egg.  Stitch around the edge (use a straight stitch for this one) and cut out the egg.  I used used pinking shears to add another decorative element.  Stitch a piece of ribbon onto the top of the Easter egg as a hanger:

But what happens if your machine doesn’t have pre-programmed embroidery stitches?

A plain & simple zig-zag stitch works beautifully for this project too!  I used three shades of varigated machine embroidery thread and worked zig-zags across the egg.  Finish it the same way as the other eggs.
