Easter Egg Painter (DIY Egg Decorating Idea)
Today, I'm channeling my inner impressionist Easter egg painter with an Easter DIY that is easy as pie. Painting is so much more fun than dyeing eggs, so I whipped up these painterly Easter egg designs that look cute and effortless.
Yield: 12 painted Easter eggs
Cost: $7
Equipment
- paint palette or paper plate
- paint brush
Materials
- blown eggs or wooden eggs
- acrylic craft paint
Instructions
- Choose a color scheme, pour out a small amount of each color, and mix paints to get the perfect colors (if you don't want an 'out of the tube' color).
- Using a quick brushstroke, add short lines of paint (just like polka dots but in brushstroke form) over the entire egg, leaving space between the strokes to add more later.
- Set aside while it dries and start another egg the same way.
- Once the first round of paint is completely dry, add a second color of brushstrokes, wait for it to dry, and then add your third and final color.
- Double the size of your brushstroke lines by painting two or three short strokes right next to each other, to make more of an abstract polka dot egg (like the eggs on the top left below).
