Easter preps

With a couple of weeks before easter, blogland has been actively crafting bunnies, eggs, flowers, all spring and easter stuff. 
Some of the amazing finds, and additions to my (way too long) to-make list:

  

I LOVE these eggs. They are so wonderfully made, I love the little flowers and hearts. They're so colorful and I think they should be fairly easy to make. 
I've been wanting to take up needle felting, and what better way than to start with these lovely easter decorations?
You can find a tutorial on how to make them at the easymakesmehappy blog



I found these felt-made eggs at Het bovenhuis. There's no tutorial, but by the look of it, they're made out of oval felt cut-outs, which are sown onto each other. 
When I make them, I might add some embroidery on the top ovals. That should make them go nicely with the crocheted and needle felted eggs.

On the Martha Stewart website, I found this great idea:

Using cut outs of paper napkins to decorate eggs... How come I never think of such things. It's so easy, I just have to see someone else do it to get inspiration.
I'll be off paper-napkin shopping soon! ;)

Off course you could also cut out paper in different colors and glue them onto the eggs (found @ Urban Comfort):


After eating lots of eggs, you might just want to reuse the scales:
