These egg placeholders are very pretty, and I especially love ranunculus flowers! A variation for this project would be to use one color tissue paper and an accent of gold pen in little swirls here and there after the egg is completely dry. OT try gluing in some ric rac or beaded trim in a wavy pattern encircling the egg! Put a little gem on the name tag too! This would make a lovely party or dinner favor for your guests to take home too! So pretty... Thanks for sharing!
