A visitor named Liz Hermens explains how to make fancy Easter eggs using pieces of tissue paper and decoupage techniques. Cover blown out eggs and you can use these as decoration for several years.
- Age Guideline: 6 Years and Up
- Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)The above age and time guidelines are estimates. You can adjust this project for different ages. It may also take more or less time based on your situation.
Materials Needed:
- Blown Out Eggs
- Colored Tissue Paper
- Liquid Starch (You can also use any decoupage medium or diluted white glue)
- Wax Paper
- Clear Acrylic Spray
Instructions: Start out by covering your work surface with wax paper. Pour some liquid starch into a bowl. Tear your tissue paper into small pieces, the smaller the better. Ripped tissue paper looks best, but you can cut them if you like.
Make sure your blown out eggs are clean and dry. Dip one piece of ripped tissue paper at a time into the liquid starch and stick it to the egg. Wrap the whole egg like this. Ensure the tissue paper overlaps to avoid any white spots. You might want to decoupage one half of the egg, let it dry, and then decoupage the other half.
When the tissue paper is dry, seal it with clear acrylic spray or a few thin layers of decoupage medium.
To show your eggs one by one, make simple Easter egg stands or use these printable ones.
