A day with freezing rain isn’t my ideal spring day, but it is still officially winter. Spring. In like a lion, right? ::groan::
Fortunately, this dip-dyed {painted} paper mache Easter egg craft is a cheerful easy DIY project which aided in averting my eye from the cold, gloom and sleet outside.
I don’t think you really need a tutorial. But, since writing up a “how to” is what I love to do, I’m going to tell you what I did anyway. 😉
Materials:
- Paper mache eggs
- FrogTape
- DecoArt Americana acrylic craft paints
Wrap FrogTape around the paper mache egg to create a faux dipped line. Using my fingernail, I rubbed the edge of the tape to activate the Paint Block Technology to prevent paint from seeping underneath the tape, to create a crisp clean line.
Then I simply painted the bottom of my paper mache eggs using different spring-inspired colors:
Pull away/remove FrogTape while paint is still wet. It’s a little tricky! After I was done, I thought: “I should have used a set of tongs or something to get a better grip on my egg.” #hindsight
Allow paint to dry. (I just set mine on the cellophane paper mache egg packaging.)
Decorate!
Do you decorate with Easter eggs {faux or real} this time of year?
