Bring some extra-cute cheer to your Easter breakfast this year with our Easter-Themed Egg Cozies! They look cute, are easy to make, and are useful in keeping your eggs warm while you finish getting ready for breakfast.
If you were like me, you're asking "what is an egg cozy?" Well, It's basically a "hat" or cover for a boiled egg to keep it warm. You may have also heard them called egg warmers or even just egg hats.
So, whether you call them boiled eggs or dippy eggs, eat them with toast soldiers or just plain toast, these egg cozies are just for you!
What You'll Need:
Craft Felt
Fabric scissors
Straight pins
Embroidery floss and needle
Small white pom-pom ball (
optional)
Egg cozies measure approximately 4.3" wide,and 3.8" from top to bottom (excluding bunny ears and chick hair).
Here is the complete template for the
Easter-Themed Egg Cozies.
1. Print
out
the Easter Theme Egg Cozies Template
and cut out the shapes using the scissors.
Trace the shapes onto the craft felt
sheets in the colors you prefer (using chalk or a marker) and cut them out
using the fabric scissors .
2. Once
all
the pieces are cut out of the felt, sew the inner ear pieces to the ear shape
pieces for both the bunny and the lamb using some of the embroidery floss and the needle.
3.
Take
the bunny and lamb ears and sew the bottom edges into a crinkle to make a more
3D ear shape. Also do this for the wings of the chick.
4.
Take
one of the egg cozy pieces and sew or glue on your facial features. For this
step, you’ll need to refer to the template for the facial features for each
cozy. You can either use the leftover felt to cut the shapes and glue them on,
or you can stitch the features on using a satin stitch. Here is a tutorial by Sublime Stitching for ‘How-To: Satin Stitch’.
5.
Next
sew on the ears for the bunny and the lamb, and the wings for the chick, to the
inner side of the other cozy piece where marked. For this step, refer back to
the template to see where they should be sewn. The ears and wings should end up
between each cozy piece.
6.
Using
the straight pins, pin the front and
back of each cozy together and stitch both front and back of each shape
together with the embroidery floss and needle, to make a completed shape. We
also sewed the bottom for a finished look.
This
craft
is perfect for adding that extra flare to your Easter brunch with family or
simply having your kids waking up to cute cozies on top of their eggs. Once
they are finished, you can send them off to play with their new puppets.
