- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Trace the egg shapes
- Print a couple of our free Easter egg templates. Find the link in the materials list above, or keep reading for more details.
- Tape the template on a window (or other light source). Place a piece of watercolor paper or cardstock on top of the template and use a pencil to trace the Easter egg pattern.
- Trace another egg design or two (if you'd like) and set the paper on a baking sheet or other protected surface.
Step 3: Add glue and glitter
- Trace around the outside of the egg with white glue. You can also add glue to a couple lines or design elements.Wherever you add glue now will be the first colour on the egg.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of glitter onto the glue.
- Pick up the watercolor paper and place another sheet of regular paper below it (you can use the template page, if it's still handy). Tilt the watercolor paper to remove the excess glitter.Then funnel the loose glitter back into its container.
- Trace another section of the egg with glue.
- Add another colour of glitter to the glue and remove the excess, just like before.
- Repeat, adding glue and another colour of glitter to the remaining sections.
- Repeat the same process with the other Easter egg.
- Your Easter egg glitter art is complete!
