Wooden eggs with napkin technique & paint

Step 1: Preparation for perfect edges

To give your wooden eggs clear and straight colored edges, carefully tape the eggs with crepe-adhesive tape . This will prevent unwanted bleeding of the colors and you can look forward to a precise result.

Step 2: Primer for the egg napkin technique

For the egg that you want to embellish with the napkin technique , prime the lower area with white handicraft paint. This primer ensures that the colors and patterns of your napkin come out particularly brightly. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before continuing.

Step 3: Preparing the napkin

Cut a suitable piece of your favorite napkin and peel off the top printed layer. You can easily do this by placing an adhesive strip halfway down the bottom and then carefully peel it off to remove the unprinted layers.

Step 4: Application of 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 cracking the delicate napkin . Leave everything to dry well.

Step 5: Finishing with gloss

To give your artwork a special shine, cover the napkin with Fluid Gloss, a glossy varnish, after drying. Allow to dry well again so that the end result looks radiant and professional.

Step 6: Designing the second egg with paint

Paint the second egg with any handicraft paint. We have chosen the color "orchid". Once the paint has dried, take a bamboo skewer and 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 stick a few decorative feathers behind the bow and secure them with a small drop of glue. Finally, crown the center of the bow with a charming button for a unique eye-catcher.
