Hi, I love your ideas! They are so awesome. Can you tell me if you can transfer fabric print onto wooden eggs? I have seen it done with regular eggs and silk ties but not sure if the wood eggs would work. TIA
Hi Monica!
Thanks for the great question. I have never tried transferring fabric print onto a wooden egg, but I think it would work. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
