I gave the fabric-covered eggs a try, only to realize that it won't work the way I hoped it would. So I'll most likely use acrylic paint instead. I've got half a dozen little jars in various colours that need to be used up anyway.

I found a lovely (and blessedly simple) idea of making egg baskets of toilet rolls that I'm planning to give a try. Those will have to be painted, too, so that will be hitting two birds with the same stone. I'm planning to make enough of them (and the styrofoam eggs) to give them my fellow choir members as Easter gifts.
