Holiday Project: DIY Easter Egg Fruits
Egg dying and decoration is a quintessential Easter tradition, practiced by many different cultures across the globe. The egg is a symbol of new life and what better time to celebrate than in spring, the season of renewal and rebirth? This year, we decided to stray from traditional methods and search for innovative and fun ways to decorate eggs.
We were most inspired by this creative DIY project, courtesy of the bloggers at Brit +
Co. Adorable and vividly colorful, these eggs dressed as fruits are sure to make a
statement! This no-dye method is fuss free and most materials or tools
required can be found within your home.
What you'll need:
- blown eggs
- paint in various colors
- green cardstock
- green tissue paper
- black sharpie
- paint brush
- hot glue gun
- scissors
Strawberry: Paint the egg red (two coats will do!), cut out green leaves, glue them on top, and add black seeds.
Apple: Paint the egg red, draw the leaf, cut and glue. Simple!
Watermelon: Color block this egg — half pink, half green and draw some seeds with the sharpie.
Pineapple: Paint yellow. Cut two sizes of leaves and glue the shorter ones on top and the longer ones sticking upward. Draw a cross-hatched design with the sharpie.
