Creative Easter egg design with leaf metal
The Easter bunny loves it colourful and shiny! With these simple steps, you can transform ordinary Easter eggs into little works of art that are guaranteed to turn heads. With the help of this idea, you can add an elegant touch to your Easter decorations. And the best thing about it? It's child's play and great fun!
Paint the eggs with pastel craft paint. If you use the craft paints from the materials list for this idea, you will end up with different but perfectly colour-coordinated Easter eggs. Leave the paint to dry.

If you want to adopt the striped look presented in this idea, stick 4 straight strips 3 mm wide evenly across each egg. You should use a cut piece of plain adhesive tape or a piece of washi tape for this.

Now add the leaf metal for a glamorous effect. Coat each egg with gold leaf priming milk and apply leaf metal to the resulting damp adhesive surface until the entire egg is covered. Leave everything to dry briefly and wipe off any excess leaf metal with a soft cloth. What remains is a beautiful shimmering effect.

Now carefully remove the adhesive tape (take care not to remove the craft paint as well).

Then coat the entire egg with a protective varnish and leave to dry thoroughly.
In the next step, paint the small wooden flowers with white paint and attach one of the flowers to each egg loop: fix them in place with hot glue and tie a small satin ribbon bow over the flower.

If you like, you can finish off your craft by attaching a small bell to the bottom of the egg. Pull an egg/ball loop through the eyelet of the bell and drill a hole in the paper mâché egg base with an awl. Press the wires of the loop into the small hole and fix the spot with hot glue.
