Craft Stamper Magazine ~ SewforSoul Feature

Speckled & Embossed Clay Songbird Eggs DIY



April's issue of Craft Stamper Magazine is available in shops now and my clay speckled bird's egg tutorial is featured!


The children and I had great fun making them and you can see lots more step-by-step pictures in this post.



We embossed ours with devotional words to reflect the season of Easter but they would also make an adorable birth announcement personalised with a name and date! 


Craft Stamper Magazine is available from most High Street branches of  WHSmith or can be ordered direct from Traplet Publications with free UK P&P.

  1. Dear Josie
    I really like this idea - you could make a Spring themed display of eggs and use polymer clay too. I'm thinking that a couple of metallic eggs for Easter, in amongst the pastel ones would be rather nice as well! Thank you for the inspiration.
    Best wishes

  5. Positively delightful for the season, Josie girl. The words you and the family chose are truly appropriate for this time (and any time!) of year. I love this idea. What fun you all must've had!

    Hugs and happy weekend,
