I've made and shared the how to's of making decoupage easter eggs, this is a similar technique but starts with a paper mache egg and you'll only decoupage the top half. I really like how these look and will look for paper mache eggs the next time I'm at the craft store. The last ones I made used ripped up napkins, these just say to layer 'paper strips' - I think maybe decorative scrapbook paper would work, you just don't want the paper to be too thick or you won't be able to manipulate it. Here's how they did it:
Liberally coat the top of the egg in a layer of Mod Podge. We used a foam brush, but any brush will do. Start layering paper strips on top of the Mod Podge, tearing large strips to create smaller pieces as necessary. Overlap the strips so that every part of the top of the egg is covered. Fill in any holes with tiny pieces of paper. Once you're satisfied with your paper placement, coat the paper with another layer of Mod Podge. Allow the top to dry completely before fitting the bottom and top together. Tie the larger ribbon around the egg and knot. Finally, take the thin ribbon and wrap it around the egg, finishing it with a bow.
