As promised, I’m back with more Easter decorations today. Some weeks ago I had pinned a tutorial on how to make cement eggs. I didn’t have that special kind of cement she had used, but the regular kind worked as good. I mixed 1 part cement with 2 parts sand and followed the instructions. The drying time of my eggs was longer though. I could peel off the egg shells after 2 days. The tutorial suggested to partially spray paint the eggs, but I stamped my finished eggs instead.

The eggs are “served” in a vintage rusty cupcake baking pan.




The cement eggs are certainly farm fresh.

For the cement lamb I used a vintage chocolate mold that I had coated slightly with salad oil as a release agent. I’m glad that it had turned out so well.

My cast iron bunny watches a nest filled with three of my decoupaged plastic eggs from last year. He seems to do a good job. Another nest which had no guard, was raided by one of my sweet furry babies. The lightweight eggs obviously make popular cat toys.


After some weeks of sunshine and springlike temperatures, it got cold again and it snowed in the mountains. The weather forecast for the upcoming days is not very promising and so we’ll probably stay at home. I don’t know yet what we will cook. What’s on your menu for the weekend?
Happy Easter, dear friends!
Enjoy the holiday!
My cement eggs will be served at these wonderful parties:

What a great idea! I hope you don't mind but I shared it on Mammabellarte fb page linking it back to you.
ReplyDeleteHappy SPRING!
These are wonderful, and the vignettes you've put together are just the sweetest. I'm going over to look at that tutorial.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Julia, these are great! I love them and I love how you stamped them, too. They look great in the vintage muffin tin. All your vignettes look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteJulia your eggs turned out so wonderful! My favorite is the one with the little bird on it!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see the cement lamb! Just last week I found a vintage lamb chocolate mold at a thrift store...it may be this very one!
Thanks so much for the inspiration!!
If you'd like, you can see my mold here:

great idea! I don't really celebrate easter...but these eggs have inspired me...I wonder if plaster of paris would work since I don't have any cement handy...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend!
Liebe Julia,
ReplyDeletedeine Osterdeko ist total zauberhaft.
Von Herzen frohe Ostern
alles Liebe von Tatjana
Hallotscheli, liebstige Julia! :o)
ReplyDeleteJetzt hab' ich's doch glatt (obwohl ich immer wieder bei dir reinschaue) auf ein Neues geschafft, ein Posting bei dir zu "versäumen"! Aber inzwischen hab ich deine genialen Bettfedern-Eierhalter samt motorisch-floral aufgepeppten Eiern natürlich angesehen und bewundert - das sieht so hübsch aus und ich hoffe, eines Tages kommen mir auch so tolle Bettfedern und Motorteile unter! Und auch deine heutigen bestempelten Betoneier in den alten Backförmchen sind sehr stilvoll und dekorativ und einfach Julia (was du absolut IMMER als Lob werten kannst!) Achnein, bei euch ist das Wetter auch so besch...euert? Das musste jetzt echt nicht mehr sein, gell?! Da heißt's dann, sich mit den Katzerln zusammenkuscheln und das Oster-WE auf diese Art und Weise genießen. Kochtechnisch hab ich echt noch keinen Tau, wir machen bestimmt nix "Besonderes"...
Alles Liebe und herzliche rostrosige Gründonnerstagsgrüße samt zarten Fellchenkraulern,
Traude

Love it all - but the lamb is just so sweet!! Now I am off to the stores to find me a lamb mold, I just have to make one of these!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Julia I am transfixed by those cement eggs .... cement never looked so beautiful! Love the way you stamped onto them and beautifully presented.
ReplyDeleteSuch an incredible post this is with that cute lamb. I never would have believed that again, this was created with cement.
So many others will be purchasing sacks of dry cement to try this technique.
Sending you Easter Wishes
Lynne

Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteYour stamped cement eggs are TOO cute, nestled in their cozy nests, all tucked away in those pretty mini cake tins! What fun and whimsy for your Easter celebration!
Hope you are having better weather; it's raining and very damp as I type, on this cold, Friday, spring night.
Poppy
Stunning! Going to feature you this week at Sundays at Home :)
ReplyDeleteLiebstige Julia,
ReplyDeletevielen Dank für deine lieben Zeilen, die du mir auf meinem Blog hinterlassen hast!!! Nun möchte ich mich auch noch persönlich bei dir aus meinem Mini-Urlaub "zurückmelden" und dir DANKE sagen für die lieben Kommentare. Ich habe mich sehr darüber gefreut!

Ganz herzliche Rostrosengrüße und feine Fellchenkrauler (ach, was haben wir in unserem kleinen Urlaub für süße Katzen und auch ein paar Hunde gekrault!!! Fotos davon demnächst!)
