Now most persons are preparing for the Easter Day, and how do you celebrate the Easter Day?
There is no doubt that Easter eggs is essential on this festival, and today I will share my tips that making faux Easter eggs easily by yourself.
First, you should get ready for the all necessary materials.
- Papier-mache eggs
- Brown satin-finish spray paint or acrylic craft paint
- Satin-finish clear sealant or varnish (if using craft paint)
- Paint brush (if using craft paint)
- Large cardboard box lined with waxed paper or parchment paper for containing over-spray (if using spray paint)
- Foil sheets, such as those made for candy wrappers
- White glue or Mod Podge
Finishing the first step, what you need do is to follow my procedures until accomplish your goals.
- If using spray paint, place eggs in lined cardboard box and, working outside or in a well-ventilated area, apply several light coats of paint. Follow directions on the paint canister to determine drying time between coats. Turn the eggs to make sure you are painting all sides. Three or four light coats of paint should be enough for even coverage.
- If using craft paint, you can work indoors. Use a brush to apply two or three coats of paint, allowing eggs to dry between coats.
- If using craft paint, apply one coat of satin finish varnish. Allow eggs to dry.
- Cut a piece of colored foil a bit taller than the height of the egg and wide enough to wrap around it. I cut the foil into a rectangle roughly 6.5-by-4 inches. Cut slits roughly 1 inch long along one of the long edges. This will make it easier to fold the foil tightly around the bottom of the egg.
- Brush glue or Mod Podge on the lower two-thirds of an egg, then wrap the foil around the egg, with the fringed edge at the bottom, wider end of the egg.
- Brush on more glue as needed, and press the foil tightly against the egg, overlapping the cut pieces at the bottom. At the top, squeeze the foil together and twist it tightly. Cut off the excess.
- Once the egg is entirely covered in foil, peel some off to create the appearance of a candy egg that has been partially unwrapped.
