Step by step
Step 1:
Place chessboard
Cut several lengths of felt in alternating colours to match the length of your table. In this example, Bettina has used three 15 cm wide strips: White - brown - white, so the chequerboard pattern is shown to its best advantage. However, the number and length of the felt strips ultimately depends on the size of your table. Now cut the short transverse strips by placing them along the long main axes. Again, change the colours lane by lane.
Step 2:
Weave and fix felt strips
Carefully place the next felt strip over the first one. Make sure that the edges and borders are exactly on top of each other to create an even surface. Apply small dots of hot glue to the edges of the top felt strip. Only use a small amount of glue to prevent it from pushing through the felt.
Step 3:
Decorate goose eggs
Pockets have been created by laying and fixing the chequerboard pattern. Now prepare the goose eggs so that they can be filled in an Easter style: Take the blown-out eggs and wrap them with white and brown woollen cords. The colour of the cords used here matches the felt exactly and therefore looks very harmonious. The lurex thread in the cord creates a sparkling effect.
Step 4:
Fill chessboard pockets
Let the decorated eggs peek out of the felt pockets and place a handful of flower bulbs in the pockets here and there. For green spring accents, put flowers in one or other of the pockets: gypsophila or silk tulips can be used without water tubes. If you opt for fresh tulips, hide the water tube in the pockets.
