The Easter tree that my mother setup this year.
Setting up this tree has been a tradition ever since my mother had seen the idea in the craft section of a womens magazine many years ago. For the past several years it has been more of a tradition for my mother and my youngest sister. A few dry tree branches are gathered and stuck into a plant pot filled with sand. It is then decorated with the eggs.
The decorated eggs are chicken eggs that have been pierced through the top and bottom, had the fluids blown out (to be used for making scrambled eggs) washed and set to dry before being painted or decoupaged. The majority of eggs on the tree have the names of family members on them; mostly the names of my cousins. Also, the majority of those eggs were decorated by mother and youngest sister. I can’t remember when I had last decorated an egg as I haven’t done so in many years… Until the morning of this past Easter Sunday, that is!
I wanted to make my own egg for the tree as the one that has been hanging on it for many years now, was made by my ex-best friend.
So I had painted one on Sunday and set it to dry on the handle of another paintbrush held upright in a pot plant. I had found finger prints and smudges of the paint later that day when I went to check on it’s drying progress. So it was fucked because somebody had to go and touch it. I left it and will make a new one next Easter, I think…
Hey, That is such a cute idea - I would have gone a bit different about the design tho - LOL, but a cute idea none the less.

Yeah, I would have done it differently myself too.
That is a fun idea. Blowing out and decorating eggs is SO fun. I did it in crafts class back in high school and would love to do it again.
I would freaking lose it if someone smudged my project.
That is the cutest idea! I’d say I’d do it next year, but I’ll probably forget lol. The egg made by your ex-best friend is adorable! I love the little chickie! That sucks though that someone had to go and touch your egg. I’d flip.
That’s a great idea! Maybe I’ll start doing that next year.
And I’m sorry somebody screwed with your egg. 
EASTER TREE!!!!!!!!!!
Haha, I never seen one before (as I said in your previous post). But cute
I wish my family had cute little traditions like that, but unfortunately, that stopped a long long time ago :/
I’m so excited to see the tree, haha. I’ve never seen one before and it’s absolutely adorable! The eggs look so cute and pretty on it and I’m tempted to bring this idea up for next Easter.
I’m sorry someone touched your egg when it was drying. =[
that is a cute idea. hope ur easter was full of goodies. and fun
That sucks about your egg. But your family’s tree tradition is a pretty neat idea.
That is such a great idea!
We used to make egg trees at school:P
