Victorian Decoupage Egg: Design & Cutting Motifs

Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to show you how to make these Victorian rose eggs. It's a densely patterned egg. And it's cut from scrap book papers or wrapping papers. It's densely covered and then you put little motifs on it. We have butterflies and birds. Little things that when you look at it at first, you don't see it but you discover it as you turn it around. So I'm using a piece of scrap book paper that has these pretty rose motifs around. Now the biggest problem with decoupaging the egg is it's very round. And paper is flat and it doesn't, it doesn't always want to follow the shape of the egg. So I'll give you some little pointers on how to adhere it nicely to the egg. So first you want to start by cutting out a lot of small motifs. So from this design, I'm going to cut just the rose section. I'm going to cut the leaf section. I'm going to cut some, some of this lace section that I'm going to use cover my egg."
