Easter eggs made of colored paper
Paper Easter eggsare very easy to make. One of the very classic, but at the same time aesthetic, patterns for a paper Easter egg are stripes. How to make such Easter eggs? We start with the preparation of colored paper. We cut the paper into centimeter strips (the thinner the better). We can choose two colors or choose a rainbow variation.
In the first option, cut out 4 strips of one color and arrange them as follows: the first strip along the axis of the egg, the second perpendicular to the first, the next at an angle of 45 ° to the first two strips. Then cut out 4 strips of the next color, it will be good if they are even thinner than the previous ones and arrange them in the same way, covering the spaces created from the first strips. Of course, you can apply just as many stripes to cover the entire egg, but a certain minimalism has its charm.
