How to make this Painted Easter Egg Suncatcher

To prep the project, I cut out two Easter egg outlines from the construction paper. I made ours big, using the entire sheet of construction paper. Your older kids can draw and cut out the Easter eggs on their own. You’ll want to do this step for younger ones.

I also cut two squares of the Contact Paper for each Easter egg. Cut them slightly bigger than your Easter egg outlines.

Next, I peeled the backing off of one square of Contact Paper and placed it sticky-side up on our table. I carefully placed the Easter egg outline on the Contact Paper and then it was time to paint. My preschooler used a cotton swab to paint designs inside the outline.

I know you’re wondering what it’s like to paint on the sticky paper.

Will your cotton swabs get stuck? Once you have paint on the end of your cotton swab, it won’t stick to the paper while you are painting. This is the perfect project for dot painting. But, if you’re like my daughter and hate to dot paint, the cotton swab will slide nicely over the sticky paper. It’s not as quick and smooth as regular paper, but you can paint whatever you want on the Easter egg.

Once she moved on to our second egg, my daughter was finished with the cotton swabs. Almost every painting project we do lately, turns into a finger painting project. This project was no exception. She started out with a bit of finger painting and soon dived in with full hand smearing. And you know what? This is the perfect project for finger painting!

Once my preschooler was finished painting, I added a second sheet of Contact Paper over the top to completely seal in the paint. Finish the project off by trimming around the edges. You will need to leave about 1/4 inch of Contact Paper around the edge to keep your project sealed.

I love this painted Easter Egg Suncatcher project for it’s ease and it’s open-ended aspect. Your kids can paint whatever they like on their eggs. Plus, it can be easily adapted for all ages.

Hang them in the window and let the sun shine in. They’re so pretty!

Watercolor Easter Eggs Garland

By

I only have a few Easter decorations and, unfortunately, I have no idea where they are.

Luckily, I’ve got two girls that are always willing to make new decorations for me.

I set up a simple art invitation for the girls one day and now I have two beautiful Watercolor Easter Eggs garlands.

Set up your art invitation

I love surprising the girls with a fun project after school. This time, I set up a simple art invitation.

I cut Easter egg shapes from plain white paper and set them out along with watercolors and black permanent markers.

The challenge was to decorate the eggs for Easter.

Make your watercolor Easter eggs

They got to work. The girls decided to draw their designs using the permanent marker.

You will want to make sure you use a permanent marker for this project. If you use washable markers, the watercolors will smear the marker lines.

Once they had their designs drawn, the girls used our watercolors to paint their eggs. We had striped eggs, polka dots, flowers, a ladybug, geometric designs, and more.

Each one was different!

When the eggs were dry, I used clear tape to attach them to a string and make the garland.

We’ve got them hanging over a window.

Yay! We’ve got Easter decorations now!

This was such an easy art invitation to set up for the girls. They loved creating and spent a long afternoon at the table. I even had to cut out more Easter egg shapes because we ran out before they were done creating.

Easter Egg Dye Pour Painting

By

I’ve always loved the tradition of dying Easter eggs.

We typically do the traditional method of mixing up cups of egg dye made from food coloring and vinegar and dipping our eggs.

We’re still going to do that this year. We usually dye eggs the Saturday before Easter.

But, I also wanted to do a little egg dying experiment this year. For this project, we spooned our dye over top of our eggs to make these Easter Egg Dye Pour Painting Eggs.

Decorate your Easter eggs this year with a fun twist on classic egg dying. This Easter Egg Dye Pour Painting is so much fun and results in pretty striped Easter Eggs.

Set up your project

I ran across a dozen plastic dye-able eggs at a big box store to use for this project.

We used these so we could keep them out all week and use them again next year.

But, you can certainly use this technique with regular hard-boiled eggs or blown-out eggs. (TinkerLab has a few great tips for blowing out an egg if you want to go that route.)

Decorate your Easter eggs this year with a fun twist on classic egg dying. This Easter Egg Dye Pour Painting is so much fun and results in pretty striped Easter Eggs.

To make these eggs, you can either use a traditional egg dye or liquid watercolors.

We chose the liquid watercolors because there wasn’t any prep work involved.

Turn an extra egg carton upside down and prop your eggs in between the cups.

This is a great trick. The egg carton will hold your egg upright for you and you can use both hands for decorating. Plus the egg carton soaks up all the excess dye and keeps it from running all over the table.

If you don’t have paper egg cartons, put a baking sheet under the eggs to help catch your egg dye.

How to make your Easter Egg Dye Pour Painting Eggs

Once we were all set up with cups of our liquid watercolors, egg cartons, and spoons for each color, the girls got to work.

My oldest was very deliberate with her color choices and even managed to make a fun rainbow effect.

My preschooler started turning her eggs every which way to get the best coverage.

There really is no right way to do this project. Just pour and create.

I love these eggs and I’m so happy we’ll have then for Easter decorating every year.

Have you decorated your eggs yet? Do you use a traditional dye, natural dyes, or a fun technique? Or are your going to try this Easter Egg Dye Pour Painting technique?
