Cover paper provides a nice base for many collage projects. Simply tear or cut small strips of crepe paper in assorted colours, scrunch them up and glue them on in any design you like! You can create polka dots, hearts, flowers, or any design your imagination desires! These eggs can be made in any size. Simply use a diverse range of paper colours and textures or mosaic shapes to decorate your eggs! These would also make a great classroom mural.
