bald eagle fireworks favor

today we continue on with the 

red, white and blue holiday coming up.

only i used a little bit of easter 

in this craft.

huh?

well, i guess that's what happens sometimes 

when holidays are ingrained in your brain 

like mine and run into each other

due to the limited brain space going on.

nevertheless,

without further ado,

but, still, yet, though, lol,

may i introduce to you a

bald eagle fireworks favor.

it all started when i saw this in my craft room.

jumbo iridescent easter eggs that 

were too pretty to put away

and were gnawing at me to make something, 

anything, outta them.

so i got my brown acrylic paint and 

painted the entire bottom, and 

the lower third for the top as shown.

what she means is that i used an old catalog 

i got in the mail for painting purposes...

then my hubby walks in, sees what you see above, 

and asks why i painted a brown boob.

i'll wait and let you process that...

************

oooookay.

let's move on.

i had some yellow electrical tape 

not cuz i know what to do with electrical tape besides craft with it, and took to some folding here and there like so:

then i snipped it to form a beak and taped it down.

these old eyeball stickers will work.

heehee

lets fill him up.

here i got some of the garland i used for my uncle sam centerpiece i made at my last blog post, 

and got some dollar tree fireworks.

oh yes!

gotta give the eagle some worms.

(i know an eagle is a bird 

but does it even eat worms?)

anyway, i added some detail with a paint pen 

cuz i do know eagles have feathers and wings.

then i adorned the guy with some 4th of july 

twine and a mini cupcake flag i pulled off 

of a cupcake pick.

here's where you can write down the recipient's name on the flag if you want (or not)

and then this will happen:

nope, 

first you gotta grab some more dollar tree garland 

and make a nest for him to rest on the holiday table.

only thing left is to tell everyone 

the egg came first and 

not the chicken eagle!
