Decoupage Eggs

Decoupage Eggs
Total Time Needed:
1 Hour

Decoupage is best saved for older kids, who can juggle small pieces of paper, glue and a delicate blown egg.

Materials
  • Blown eggs
  • Scissors
  • Wrapping paper, old magazines, or photocopies
  • White glue
  • Tempera paint and brushes

Instructions
  1. Cut out the paper images and soak them for a few minutes in a mixture of 2 tablespoons white glue and 2 tablespoons water. Note: Smaller pictures (1-inch square or smaller) work best. The larger the image, the more it will fold and crease when glued to the egg.

  2. Remove the images from the mixture and gently press them onto the egg. The paper should bend and adhere to the egg's curved surface.

  3. Set aside to dry, then paint on borders, designs or solid colors for the background.
