You can find everything you need at the above link, or you can use your own materials.

Gather your Supplies

You will need 4 x precut egg shapes.

Our Spring time curly mix

Carded wool in cream and brown.

4 x aperture cards with envelopes

Select the blues and natural colour fibres to create your skies on each of your eggs.

You will need to split your sky colour fibres into 4 piles

Begin to felt them onto the egg shapes, trying to aim for wispy and cloud like patterns.

Organise your greens together

You'll need 5 piles of greens - use 4 of your piles to make the back ground grasses, and save one for later on.

Again, felt them onto the lower parts of the eggs, so that it looks like grass or reeds

You will be creating 2 eggs with bunnies on.

Using the brown carded fibre, you will need to split it up into sections.

For your 2 bunnies, you'll need to split the brown fibre into 4 sections, and keep 2 aside for later

Begin by taking 1 of your brown sections, and create:

1 larger ball

1 smaller ball

1 strand for their ears.

Roll the fibres in your fingers to create the 2 balls - they will be loose at this point but will firm up when they are felted on.

Start with the 'body ball' - the larger of the 2, and flatten it slightly, then felt it into place.

Then take the head ball, flatten it slightly, and felt it into place

For the ears, take a strand of the fibre and bend it into a V shape.

Put the end of the V onto the head and felt it into place

Then take the tops of the v and felt them into ear shapes.

Do this on 2 of your eggs.

Using a small amount of the carded cream fibre, roll it into a small ball, and felt it onto the rabbit body so it looks like a little cotton tail!

Then pick the colours you want for your flowers from your spring time mix

You need a tiny amount of fibre for the flowers, so you may like to snip some tiny bits off of the locks you want to use.

Roll them into tiny balls, and then felt them to your bunny design.

You will have 2 sections of brown fibre left over from your rabbits

Use 1 section to create a tree shape, plus keep around 1/2 of each section for your sheep heads later on

Roll the fibre into sausage shapes, and attach it to the egg above the grass. (in these photos I added the tree before the grass, but decided later it looks better with the grass done first, and the tree added later, with some of the spare bits of green fibre added over the trunk)

Make a main trunk for a sausage of fibre, then use smaller sausages to create a weeping willow type shape for your tree branches.

Using the cream fibre, split it into 4 sections, one for each sheep (you will have 2 sheep on each card)

Roll fibre into 2 balls, and then felt them into place under the trees

To create the sheep heads, use the remaining brown fibre and create a comma shape piece, with the tail of the comma becoming their ears.

Using the same techniques in step 6, use the rest of your coloured locks to create the flowers

Fold your cards along the pre-scored folds

Place your eggs so they are visible in the aperture

Stick your egg shapes using a strong glue - DO NOT use superglue as it can react with wool to create heat!

Congratulations, you've created 4 unique Easter cards!
