How to make maritime scrap collage eggs . . .

Decoupage flat eggs with Maritime themes for the Easter egg tree.

       Cardboard egg cut-outs with sea or ocean themed subjects. I used the following items to embellish these scrapbook egg ornaments: blue ribbon, tiny real shells, nautical stamps, reprints of Victorian die cuts and Mod Podge. Below are a few of my own printables that students may use to craft their own versions, if the like.

 Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Cut out cardboard shaped eggs.
  2. Glue on decorative papers to both sides. 
  3. String blue ribbon through a hole inside a real shell and then through the top of each egg.
  4. Apply a generous amount of white glue to the shell hanger to prevent it from working loose from the hole.
  5. Brush on Mod Podge to add stamps, die cuts and any other interesting pictures or text to the maritime egg creations.
