It’s hard to believe that Easter is only a few weeks away. Our family has a lot of fun things going on this month so I know it will be here before we know it. I decided to keep things simple for Easter decor this year. I am polishing up on my Spring Mantle and will be sharing that soon, but decided to make a few of these DIY Gold Painted Eggs for an added touch.
Painted Golden Easter Eggs
Supplies:
- Eggs- I used ceramic ones from craft store
- gold paint
- brushes
- painters tape
- Xacto knife
- scissors
- modge podge and glitter-optional
- circular paint dauber
Directions:
First off make sure all your eggs are clean. Remove any stickers or residue. Now its time to get creative. I decided to do some stripes on some. Because the egg is not a square shape, getting perfect lines is very difficult so you’ll just do the best you can. I used an Xacto knife and cut even strips into my painters tape and applied it in the desired pattern.
After making sure the tape is secured and sealed its time for paint. I ended up painting one side at a time so that the paint wouldn’t smear. When one side is dry, paint the other side.
When its all dry remove tape.
This is where it can get fun. If you want to use glitter, I suggest painting on modge podge to the area you want glitter instead of paint. Then sprinkle on glitter, let dry and remove tape. If you want circles you can use your paint dauber instead of taping.
If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of taping…you can always just make some gorgeous dipped eggs. Super easy, just make sure you shake off excess paint and set it somewhere secure to dry. I used an open jar top that was wide enough to hold the egg without it falling through.
That’s it, easy fun gorgeous DIY Gold Painted Eggs!
These DIY painted golden easter eggs are a dream for every kid. You just need two simple steps to make such beautiful and colorful egg-they are so easy that even a toddler can do it!
And don’t forget to keep the ingredients in a safe place, ready for next Easter!
FAQs
Q: What paint to use for painting Easter eggs?
A: Because it adheres well and provides good coverage, acrylic paint works well for decorating eggs. You can choose any acrylic paint brand and colour that you want to use. Use a paintbrush to make amusing patterns. Get some fine-pointed paint brushes for more elaborate designs because eggs are rather small.
Q: Is acrylic paint safe for Easter eggs?
A: While you could theoretically paint eggs with any kind of paint, acrylic paint is the most user-friendly and produces the most vivid colours. Draw pictures on your eggs with a pen or a stencil. Everybody loves polka dots, bunnies, and funny sayings.
Q: Can you use Sharpie on Easter eggs?
A: Your eggs will be dressed (at least on the bottom) after a quick dip in some colourful dye; simply decorate with a Sharpie or other marker. But for obvious reasons, avoid placing them against a wall.
