Cherub Eggs No 4 – DIY Tin Foil Trimmed Hangers

I also designed a bonus sheet of the Cherub Eggs:

Inspired by soldering and Dresden Tin Foil, here is how I decided to embellish my eggs:

Here is a picture of the back side, I chose to cover those with Spring Sheet Music from Knick of Time:INSTRUCTIONS:

Print on cardstock (I used Canon Matte Photo Paper (160g).
Attach each sheet to thin cardboard (cereal box) with spray glue
Attach sheet music printed on regular (80g) printer paper to the reverse side
Cut out the individual eggs
Cut 3 cm wide strips of metallic foil (mine is gold, but various colors are available!)
Score down the middle of each strip
Punch the strips with an edge punch (mine is from Martha Steward) on both sides, make sure you align the patterns
Fold each strip down the middle
Cut between each arch, so only a t-h-i-n string of foil keeps the strip together
Attach the strip to the egg. I attached the first and the last arch with hot glue, starting on the reverse side. Then I used clear craft glue applied with a toothpick to glue down all the other arches.
Flip your egg to the front side and glue down the strip. I used the clear craft glue applied with a toothpick.
Punch holes and string your egg. I used a golden tinsel pipe cleaner, but you can use anything you like.
Hang and TA-DAH: you have “soldered” Easter Egg hangers 🙂

Here is a few pictures from my process:
