{Spring} Gussied Up Easter Eggs

in create, holidays, Lifestyle, Spring on 03/11/15

Hi friends and happy spring! I am thrilled you are here for this simple Painted Easter Egg tutorial. If you have spring on your mind, be sure to check out all of my simple Easter crafts here. But first, today I am going to show you how I turned some cheap-o plastic Easter eggs into more natural pretty ones. Painted Easter eggs are super easy and a fun way to decorate for Easter! These chalk paint Easter eggs can come together with leftover paint supplies. (Especially if you hoard craft supplies! #guilty)

Painted Easter Eggs
Who doesn’t have a bag full of the fake colorful plastic eggs? Go ahead and grab a few for this painted Easter eggs project. Then you just need a couple more supplies.
 

Painted Easter Eggs Supplies: 

  • Plastic Easter Eggs
  • Cream Chalk Paint (similar)
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Robin’s Egg Blue Craft Paint
  •  Foam Brush
  • Toothbrush
Chalk Paint Easter Eggs

Painted Easter Eggs Directions:

 
STEP 1: Painted Easter Eggs
Use the big foam brush to give the plastic eggs a coat of chalk paint. Chalk paint is great because it sticks to anything! I used a creamy white color as the base.
 
STEP 2: Painted Easter Eggs
Use your foam brush to add a little Robin’s Egg blue coloring with the blue paint. I was sure to wipe some off as I went to ensure I didn’t give it full coverage. Imperfection is good here and really adds to the natural look of speckled eggs. 
 
STEP 3:  Painted Easter Eggs
Now it’s time to speckle the eggs! To do this, dip your toothbrush into the brown paint and then brush it with a paper towel so there isn’t much paint on the toothbrush.  Or what this freckle girl I like to think of as their freckles. 🙂
Once you have a little brown paint ready, just lightly tap the eggs to add this final layer. Again, imperfection is great here!

It’s always fun to use items I have on hand  and I am thrilled with the way these painted Easter eggs turned out for some spring decor! And who doesn’t love a simple craft that just about anyone can do? I think these would be really cute on a spring wreath too!
