March 10, 2016 in DIY

I love to paint just about anything! Paper, walls, furniture, sheets...the list goes on! With Easter coming up, I decided that instead of dyeing Easter eggs, I'd paint them. This is a really quick and easy DIY that anyone can do. Place them in a decorative bowl or on a cake stand with moss and flowers and perhaps a vintage bunny or duck to create a lovely little environment...the perfect centerpiece for your Easter brunch table!

GATHER:

  • White eggs
  • Acrylic Paint or Food Coloring (Be sure to use food coloring if you plan to eat them)
  • Paint brush
  • Water
  • Bowl or Cake stand
  • Moss
  • Fresh Flowers
  • Flower tubes filled with water (so the flowers don't wilt)

CREATE:

  1. Hard boil the eggs so that if they crack, they won't run.
  2. After the eggs are boiled and cooled, place them back into the egg carton (this makes it really easy to paint them)
  3. Create a color palette so that you can paint each egg differently and they will still coordinate beautifully. I used a palette of pretty, Spring-inspired colors like pinks, greens and aquas. If you are using acrylic paint, mix with a little bit of water (not too much or the colors will be too drippy).
  4. Using a paint brush, paint the eggs! Don't be too concerned with the design or if the colors run together. This project looks best when it is very painterly and abstract.
  5. Place moss into a bowl or on top of a cake stand. Once the eggs are dry, arrange them on the moss and place flowers in water tubes and a vintage bunny around it to create a delightful Easter scene.
