Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Trace the Easter egg pattern
- Print a free Easter egg template of your choice. Find a link in the materials list above, with more details found below the tutorial.
- Place a sheet of transparency film over the template. (You can tape it in place if you don't want it to move.)
- Shake the bottle of black puffy paint well. Use the paint to outline the egg shape and then make the details of the pattern.
- Repeat with a second egg pattern, if desired.Allow to dry, at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight.
Step 3: Colour between the raised lines
- Colour the different sections of the eggs with permanent marker. You can use all different colours or create a pattern.
- Cut around the egg shapes, about 1/4 inch outside the black line. No need to be super precise, since the outside is clear and can't be seen.
- Your "stained glass" Easter eggs are complete!
- Now shine a light over your Easter egg craft to see a super cool reflection!
- You can also tape the Easter eggs in the window as DIY suncatchers.You may spot a cool and colourful pattern on your wall or floor as the sunlight shines through!
