Many of the doll groups I follow on Facebook have been all abuzz about AG Julie's egg chair, especially since Easter brings a bounty of craft and decoration items to create DIY options. Most of these projects require more time and effort than I had available, but I did manage to throw together some simplified mini versions. I used an 8 inch egg from a discount store, and I was able to make 2 separate chairs with one egg. They fit a variety of dolls including AG minis, Liv or Barbie size dolls, and even 14-16 inch dolls. I decorated the shells with retro style decorative tape and added a base with hot glue. The black base is from a mini lamp, and I attached the egg to a marker lid so it can swivel. It can be used with or without the lamp pole to vary the height. I used different sized eggs for an even simpler version. These are attached with sticky putty, but you could make them permanent with hot glue. Hope you enjoyed this groovy, simple project? What other ideas do you have for re-purposing Easter items?

Susan, The egg I used was already orange, so I just added some decorative washi tape to the edges, and I made the cushion from a fuzzy orange sock. I just folded it up and placed it inside. If you want the outside to be white like Julie's chair, you can paint it.
