Split pellet egg cuties magnets
Just 6 shown but you can make more and more and more!
Craft supplies
For each: wooden split pellet egg, 2 wiggly eyes (Easter egg excluded 🙂 ), round magnet, loaded glue gun, brush, scissors
Individually:
Bumblebee – yellow and black acrylic paint, tulle scrap, thread
Hedgehog – silver acrylic paint, 3 black slim pipe cleaners, 1 black twinkle 0.5′ pompom for nose and 3 any suitable pompoms for “apples” on his back
Mouse – white acrylic paint, 1 red mini pompom for nose, white foam or felt scraps for ears, piece of white pipe cleaner for tail
Easter Bunny – pearl pink acrylic paint, 1 pink 10 mm pompom for nose, white slim pipe cleaner for whiskers, pink foam scraps for ears
Chick – yellow acrylic paint, 2 yellow 15 mm pompoms for wings, beige foam tiny-tiny scrap for beak, red foam tiny-tiny scrap for comb
Easter egg – pink and light blue acrylic paint, silver glitter glue pen, mini rhinestones (we used 13)
Directions
First, paint split egg with acrylic paint. If paint is not supposed to be plain, you might want to sketch design with pen in advance. Let dry the paint
Hotglue eyes, noses, ears, rhinestones – whatever your project has 🙂
For hedgehog – cut pipe cleaners in equal parts 1-1.5′ each, bend them like “V” – V-s sit tighter than I-s. Hotglue on the hedgehog body
For bumblebee – cut tulle approx. 2′ x 2′, tie up diagonally, hotglue on the back
For mouse – hotglue piece of white pipe cleaner UNDER the body, curve the end
For all: hotglue round magnet on the wrong side. Those guys on the blue background you can also use as home decorations (without magnets). More cuties coming!
