Get out those lacy border dies you have stashed away. I know you have some. Cut them out with Whisper White cardstock or whatever color you might like your lacy bits!
Next look thru your scraps. I always end up with strips of paper that I've trimmed off. You'll need a 5 1/2" length and whatever height you want your holders. I made mine 1-1 1/2" tall. The width of your lacy dies will effect how tall you want yours.
Now, glue your lacy borders to your strips. If your lacy bits aren't 5 1/2" long, start one end lined up with the end edge of the colored cardstock strips as I show in the picture below.
Give them a moment for the glue to dry, then wrap them around something cylindrical (such as a glue bottle) to start to shape them. Add glue to the last 1/2" of the strip on the end that does NOT have your lacy die cut bit. For example, I would put my glue on the left hand side of the strips in the picture.
Overlap the opposite side, hold for a bit until the glue sets and VOILA! You're done! Now all I need to do is hardboil and dye my eggs! 😄
I hope y'all have a wonderful Easter!
