Sparkly Eggs

These beautiful eggs are fun and easy to make and are sure to become an Easter decorating tradition! They are perfect for a group project, so gather family and friends and get ready to make some gorgeous eggs! We show you five ways to decorate with your eggs in our home décor feature.

Materials Needed:

• Styrofoam® Eggs—Any size
• Small Dowels or Skewers to Hold Eggs
• Colored Tissue Paper—Florals, Stripes, Dots, and Small Prints Work Best
• Mod Podge® Gloss
• Paintbrush or Foam Brush
• Clear Glitter
• Very Fine Colored Glitter
• Paper Plates

Insert dowel into egg so you can work on all sides and to allow egg to air dry when complete.

Tear selected tissue into small pieces (about 2" scrap). You will need 10-20 pieces depending on the size of egg.

Liberally brush Mod Podge onto egg, covering entire egg. Lay a tissue piece on egg and smooth down with paint brush. Continue adding tissue to egg, adding more Mod Podge as needed and overlapping tissue pieces. Don't worry about wrinkles or creases, just smooth and flatten with Mod Podge and paintbrush. Cover entire egg with tissue pieces, overlapping and adding layers as needed until color depth and look is achieved.

If desired, cut out motifs from tissue (such as large flowers) and decoupage onto egg.

Cover entire egg with another coat of Mod Podge, and then sprinkle with glitter.

Place dowel with egg in a jar or vase and allow egg to dry overnight. Each egg takes about 15 minutes to complete excluding drying time.
