Easter is the ideal time to crack open the arts and crafts supplies and get creative. So grab your kids and get crafting! It's also a great way to bring the Easter Egg Hunt to another level - simply hang some of these pretty eggs around the house and garden. A beautiful way to decorate your home for Easter.
What will you need?
Paintbrushes and a jar of water
Ribbon or string
A cocktail stick or wooden skewer
Posca pens or markers
Table cloth or old newspapers to protect your table (marbling inks can stain!)
Step 1
- Choose your colours and pour some acrylic paint into a palette.
Step 2
- Begin to paint any pattern you like.
- We used pastel coloured acrylic paints for these eggs as they are perfect colours for Easter!
Step 3
- Leave your eggs to dry in an old egg container.
Step 4
- Once dry, using your Posca pens or markers, add some fine details as in our Blossom tree design here.
Step 5
- Add a large hole at the top of the egg.
- Put some PVA glue into the holes with a small paintbrush.
- Using the skewer, push the tied string, wool or ribbon through the holes.
- For a bit of extra colour and fun, why not also add some feathers.
- Brush over the hole again with PVA glue and let dry.
That's it, the egg is done!
