Instructions:
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Paint the Easter egg
- Paint a faux Easter egg with pastel paint. Allow to dry.
- Add a second coat of paint, if needed, for good coverage.
Step 3: Choose your flowers
- Cut silk/fabric flowers from the stem.
- You’ll need 1 or 2 flowers for each Easter egg, depending on the flower’s size. Cut the stem off, right below the flower, so the back is relatively flat.
Step 4: Attach the flowers
- Add hot glue to the back of a flower.
- Place the flower on the side of the egg in the center (or just above center).
- Repeat, gluing a second flower below the first, if you’d like.
- Optional: Add some texture to the center of your flower and decorate it by adding mini foam berries.
- Your floral Easter egg is complete!
- Have fun making flower Easter eggs in all your favourite spring colours!
Helpful Tips:
- Making painting easier: Eggs can be tricky to paint since they roll around! To make it easier, paint one side first and set it down on the dry side before painting the other. You can also use an egg cup, bottle cap, or even a small piece of a toilet paper roll to hold the egg in place while it dries!
- Mix and match the design: Layer petals from different flowers to create custom floral designs. You can even have fun with complementary colours, rather than sticking to one colour per egg. Play around with different combos to make each egg one of a kind!
- Turn your floral Easter eggs into hanging decorations: Simply glue a ribbon loop to the top or screw in a small eye hook to make them easy to hang on an Easter tree, garland, or doorknob!
What eggs are best for making floral Easter eggs?
Faux eggs work best for this craft! You can use plastic, wooden, ceramic, or foam eggs, depending on the look you want.
If you choose to use real eggs, make sure they’re hollowed out and handle them carefully, as the empty shells are quite fragile. Check out our galaxy Easter eggs post for instructions on how to blow out an egg.
What paint is best for making floral Easter eggs?
Acrylic paint is the best choice because it provides good coverage while drying quickly. It’s also inexpensive and easy to find, available at the dollar store or your local craft store.
If you want your flower Easter eggs to have a super smooth finish, spray paint works well, while chalk paint will create a soft, matte look.
What’s the best way to attach flowers to my DIY Easter egg craft?
Hot glue is the quickest way to attach the fabric flowers to the Easter eggs, giving them a secure hold.
Tacky glue also works well, and won’t leave any glue strings, but you’ll have to hold the flowers in place while you wait for the glue to dry.
If you’re crafting with kids, glue dots are a fun and mess-free option, though they don’t hold quite as well as the other glues.
Once you’ve made a few of these beautiful floral Easter eggs, the fun part is deciding how to display them! Arrange them in a basket for a charming centerpiece, place them in a decorative bowl on your coffee table, or set them on a cake stand to create an elegant spring display. You can even nestle them into faux grass or moss for a natural touch, or attach them to a spring wreath for a unique seasonal decoration!
No matter how you style them, these DIY floral eggs bring a cheerful, handmade touch to your Easter decor. So grab your supplies, get crafting, and enjoy these pretty pastel eggs all season long!
