My interpretation of steam punk would be shabby chic meets industrial.
My sister and brother-n-law hosted Easter last year and had an Easter egg decorating competition.
For my entry I decided to use all recycled materials. David’s old jeans (he wants his blog name to be Ernie) and parts from old electronics.
I hid my name on a matching tag so the judges didn’t know who owned the egg.
I hot glued a jean flower and decorated the center with gears and small springs.
The pink plastic egg is sitting all comfy on Easter grass, in a jean basket and on a doily my Great Aunt crocheted.
The handle to the basket is made from the seam, down the leg of the jeans.
I “dressed up” a stainless cake stand with a big bow. I incorporated a hole that was in the old work jeans. “We’ll call that character.”
This was a tough competition and the creativity was over the top. All the eggs had lots of great personality, just like all of our loved ones at the Easter gathering. As always, a fun time was had by all.
Happy Easter!

Thanks for sharing your clever Easter egg with SYC.
How you presented your wonderful egg is just great. I’m crazy for creative whimsey!
This egg is so creative! The way you found a use for old jeans is so impressive!
I just happened upon this post! Wow! I love your egg and the basket. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and I don’t know why but still at my age, I love the Steam Punk look. I am going to have to try making one like this or do you sell items like this? I love it!
Super crearive. Using the old jeans to make the basket was genius. And, the bow is the icing on the cake. Let’s not forget the egg…cute, cute, cute.
