Today’s post is another quick spring decor tutorial. Instead of buying new decorations, I like to put my spin on old ones. So why not decoupage some plastic Easter eggs? I have a very large supply of craft paper that I went through looking for the perfect pattern. In the end, I chose book pages. Tip: you can get old books for under a dollar at most thrift stores and they make for great craft paper!
Materials:
Book Pages
Paint Brush
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Tear some book pages up into small pieces and a few long strips.
Brush some Mod Podge onto the plastic egg.
Place the book page pieces on the Mod Podge that’s acting like glue. I started with a long piece down the center line to secure the two sides of the egg together.
Cover the paper with another layer of Mod Podge to flatten it, and start adding the smaller pieces using the same steps.
Finish adding smaller pieces with Mod Podge on the bottom and top of each piece until the entire egg is covered.
Allow the Mod Podge to completely dry.
So simple, yet so classy. I bought the small wreaths for one dollar at a thrift store. They were perfect nests for the eggs. These will go quite nicely with my DIY yarn carrots.
