Add some spring magic to your home with decorative wooden eggs
Step 1: Preparation for perfect edges
To give your wooden eggs clear and straight coloured edges, carefully tape the eggs with masking tape. This will prevent unwanted colour bleeding and you can look forward to a precise result.
Step 2: Primer for the napkin technique
For the egg that you want to embellish with the napkin technique, prime the lower area with white craft paint. This primer will ensure that the colours and patterns on your napkins stand out particularly brightly. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before continuing.
Step 3: Preparing the napkins
Cut a suitable piece of your favourite napkin and peel off the top printed layer. You can easily do this by placing an adhesive strip halfway down the underside and then carefully peeling it off to remove the unprinted layers.
Step 4: Applying the napkin technique
Coat the prepared area of the egg thinly with napkin varnish, a special adhesive and sealing solution that makes it easier to attach the napkin. Place the printed napkin layer on top and carefully smooth it out with more napkin varnish. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid tearing the delicate napkins. Leave everything to dry well.
Step 5: Finishing with gloss
To give your artwork a special shine, cover the napkins with Fluid Gloss, a glossy varnish, once dry. Allow to dry well again so that the end result looks radiant and professional.
Step 6: Designing the second egg with colour
Paint the second egg with any craft paint you like. We opted for the colour "Orchid". Once the paint has dried, take a bamboo skewer and use it to dab white dots for a spring-like, playful design.
Step 7: Add decorative accents
To add the finishing touches to your decoration, tie a pretty ribbon around each egg and secure it with a bow. Carefully plugs a few decorative feathers behind the bow and secure them with a small drop of glue. Finally, crown the centre of the bow with a charming button for a unique eye-catcher.
