Easter Egg Fun

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to thank Dawn for

the honor of being guest designer

on her blog.
 http://www.dawnscraft.com/

Dawn is amazing, as you well know, and

has so many wonderful projects.

She has helped me in so many ways

in my journey as a blogger and crafter.

This is what I have created today, I

hope you enjoy the Easter eggs.

I started with white acrylic paint

 and some paper mache eggs.

Painted them white, and let them dry.

Then pulled out some twinkling H20s,

rub ons and crafting foil.

You can use any kind of rub ons.

( The bugs are great for the boys)

I purchased these at the local craft

store. And the Fairyopolis decals are from

Crafter's Companion.

Then just have fun.

Rub the decal on first, then paint

over the top with the H20's.

If you don't have the H2o's just use

watercolor paints with a little pearl ex.

Or you can get "Iridescent Medium", and that makes everything water based sparkle.

(You can get that at Michael's)

After you get the eggs the way

you want them, just spray with a

glossy sealant. This way even if they

get wet they will be O.K.

For the craft foil, I just sprayed the

eggs with a good tacky glue and wrapped

the foil around it, and peeled it off.

Then sealed it.

So easy!

These eggs are for the older children,

or the  adult baskets, please do not put

them in the little ones baskets.

They may think they can eat them,

and that would be a no no.

Here are a few more pictures of some

 of the eggs I made, I hope you enjoy

them.

You will have splits and cracks

when you use the rub ons.

They were not designed to be put on

a round surface. Just do the best you can.

They are not meant to be perfect.

Just have fun!!!

These were so fun to make!!

Maybe this would be something you might

want to do with the kiddos.

The paper mache eggs can be kept.

You can use water color paints, just

like the ones they use in school.

And stickers.

Put some old clothes on the children

and make a day of it.

Start a new tradition.

If you have any questions about products

or techniques, please let me know.

Thank you for stopping by.

&

Have a happy Easter everyone.
