**Note: The old book I had on hand was approximately 6″w X 9″h and I used roughly 1-1/2 book pages per egg. I could have used less, but I discarded the margin areas because I didn’t want any large blank areas on eggs.
Four Easy Steps to Create A Decoupaged Easter Egg
The steps to creating a decoupage Easter Egg are relatively easy, albeit somewhat messy, as seen in Step 3. Since I wanted a matte finish coat on mine, I chose Mod Podge Matte Finish. It’s also available in a glossy finish, should you want that type of finish.
When I say this is an easy DIY, I mean it! I completed six decoupaged eggs within a 30 minute window start to finish, by myself. If you have more hands on deck to help, you could easily create more than a dozen within that timeframe.
Decoupaged Easter Egg Embellishments
As hard as I try at times to be simplistic in my approach to tablescape designs, I just can’t help myself, lol. These darling decoupaged Easter eggs were begging for a little embellishment; nothing over-the-top, just a little something extra, so I wrapped a 24-inch piece of twine around the egg and topped that off with a teeny tiny flower.
I hot glued the tiny flowers first and while the glue was still warm I started winding the twine around the egg. That small amount of glue helped to hold the twine in place and made it easier to tie in a knot at the end. Lastly, I placed the eggs in a bed of moss inside the egg holder. Much better now, don’t you think?
Do you love designer topiaries, but not the price tag?
I’ll be sharing how I made these at a fraction of the costs in an upcoming blog post soon!
