Easter is approaching with huge steps. If you still need a few ideas for decoration quickly - here are 5 simple DIY ideas with scraps.
You need this for the Easter eggs from fabric leftovers:

- approx. 12 cm per egg for hanging

And that's how easy it is:
1. Draw an egg on paper about 8 cm in length and cut out.
2. Attach the pattern to the doubled fabric and transfer contours with a tailor's chalk.
3. Cut out the egg, staple both layers with pins.
4. Attach the top of the trailer strap centrally between the fabric layers.
5. Stitch with a zigzag stitch all around, leaving a 3 cm opening at the bottom.
