Playful creatures and fresh veggies adorn these eggs. Each design starts with circle stencils made using a craft punch and black adhesive vinyl.
For the carrot and radish, the circle stencils are modified with a craft knife; the stem stencil is cut freehand.
Butterflies call for half-circles: For the one in front, orange dye is dabbed into stencils on a pale-pink egg; for the one at back, half-circles are adhered to a pale-peach egg, which is then dipped into darker peach dye.
To make your own wire stands, wrap 20-gauge wire around a pen, flatten the resulting coil to create a series of loops, and then twist the ends together to form a ring.
Here's the basic process for creating animals and dots from stencils made with vinyl sheets and circle punches.
Apply vinyl stencils to a pale dyed egg (for body, use a 1-inch circle punch; for ears, use a 3/4-inch punch and a strip of vinyl). Dab undiluted dye inside the stencils.
