Decoupage and Decorate Easter Eggs

Decoupage and Decorate Easter Eggs

Reblogging from- Wonderful Creation Blog

Wonderful Creations Blog

Today I am showing you how to decoupage and decorate eggs for Easter. This fun project is easy to make and will last all year because I used faux eggs instead of hard-boiled eggs.

Follow the instructions below for inspiration.

Supplies:

  • Faux Easter Eggs
  • Mod Podge
  • Foam Brush
  • Floral Print Paper
  • Scissors

Instructions:

  • Begin by cutting the flowers out of the paper. Make sure to use decorative paper that is thin. Thick cardstock is harder to adhere to the eggs.

  • Next, use a foam brush to apply Mod Podge or some other decoupage medium on the back of one of the paper cut-outs.
  • Glue the paper on the egg.
  • Smooth out the edges with your finger or with the foam brush.

  • Continue gluing the paper cut-outs until you cover each egg. Let the glue dry for a couple of hours.
  • Once dry, you can add stickers and embellishments to the eggs.

April is National Poetry Month. If you think poetry’s “not your thing”, you might be surprised to find out you already enjoy it, you just didn’t know it was poetry. Stretch your creative mind and embrace poetry in one of its many forms during National Poetry Month. Here are 7 ways you can celebrate:

1. Borrow a book of poetry from the library. The great thing about poetry books, you don’t need to read them cover-to-cover to enjoy them. Find a few poems that speak to you.

  • We have a few (hundred) books to pick from, start in the 811’s…

2. Check out a CD and read the song lyrics. Songwriting is a form of poetry. Don’t know where to start? Try:

  • John Lennon

  • The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus by  Sonya Sones
