DIY ideas: paint Easter eggs

Of course we can buy colorful eggs for Easter. But blow out eggs and dye Easter eggs is a great Easter tradition. Especially we can paint the Easter eggs to your heart's content and customize them to our decoration. Above all, making Easter decorations is a lot of fun.

That's what you need:

• blown out chicken eggs
• neon pink spray paint for the great color
• Lace border (about 1.5 cm wide and 10 cm long)
• white satin ribbon (about 8 mm wide and 50 cm long)
• Butterfly Scrap
• Decoupage glue
• brush
• thin sticks

That's how it's done: 

1. Slide the thin stick from bottom to top through the holes used to blow it out. So you can hold and turn the egg fine. Now it says: Ran to the color, because the priming is off. Sprinkle the egg completely with neon paint, preferably outdoors.
2. Once the paint has dried, lay the lace ribbon around the egg once, so that both ends meet together above the hole. First make a knot, then tie a loop from the ends. Pull a satin ribbon between the egg and the knot so that the egg can be hung.
3. Brush some decoupage glue on the egg, place the butterflies on it and brush with a layer of glue. Also fix the lace border with some glue. Let dry and hang on the Easter bouquet.

That's what you need: 

• a blown chicken egg
• Acrylic paint in petrol
• pink ribbon bow (1 cm wide and 50 cm long)
• Decoupage glue
• 4 buttons of the same color (for example lilac) Ø 1 cm
• 8 white buttons Ø 1 cm
• neon pink spray paint
• brush
• Hot glue gun
• thin sticks

That's how it's done:

1. Carefully push the thin stick through the ejection holes of the egg. Now you can easily paint the egg with the acrylic paint. Let dry.
2. Glue the bow ribbon in the middle of the box with decoupage glue. Also let it dry. Then it's time to decorate.
3. Spray four of the white buttons with the neon paint and let dry well.
4. With hot glue always alternately stick a colored, a white and a neon colored button on the ribbon.
5. Pull out the sticks and pull ribbon through the holes instead. Make a knot at the bottom and leave a piece of tape about 5 cm long. At the top, leave the tape long for attachment.

That's what you need: 

• a blown white chicken egg
• lace fabric
• neon pink spray paint
• Vintage border or similar
• Disposable gloves

That's how it's done: 

1. Wrap the egg tightly with the lace fabric. Wear disposable gloves and carefully spray the egg around when outdoors. Let dry.
2. Remove lace fabric. If necessary repeat the process if too many white spots are visible.
3. Lay the border all around the egg and knot tightly at the top. Cut ends as short as possible. Pull a long piece of string under the knot and glue it together with a drop of glue or double-sided tape just above the knot.
