Classic artichoke technique is so beautiful: the decorative eggs look very noble, decorated with harmoniously combined fabrics and pearls.
Material requirements
For the artichoke eggs you need 30 cm single-coloured Cotton fabric in Light brown, each 30 cm coloured contrast fabric with pattern, Pins, Polystyrene- eggs in the sizes 6 cm, 10 cm and 16 cm, Pins with decorative head, matching ribbon and - if available - a candle holder with thorn.
It's that simple:
Cut fabric squares in the sizes 4 x 4 cm and 8 x 8 cm, depending on the pattern
Pin a spread-out square on top of the egg in the middle. First fold four fabric squares into a triangle, fold the corners in and pin them all around with the tip pointing upwards.
Fold further fabric squares and place them in the spaces between the already fixed squares. Fill the whole egg with squares this way. To finish, fold all four corners of the square to the middle, turn them over and pin them with decoration-Pins . Decorate the Lace of the other squares with-Pins
Cut a cross in the last fabric square at the bottom of the two big eggs and fix the eggs on a candlestick or a bowl. Extra tip: For some eggs, add ribbons or work with the fabric squares from both sides to the middle. Each egg looks different.
