Supplies:

  • Wooden Easter eggs or real eggs (a real chicken egg must be hollowed out)
  • Acrylic paint
  • Paint brushes
  • Stencils optional
  • Rhinestones optional
  • Sponges optional
  • Cerne relief optional

Hand Painted Eggs Instructions:

  1. You can use real hollowed out eggs for this project but I personally prefer using wooden eggs from a craft store. The bottom of the egg is flat on wooden ones so that they make wooden painted easter eggs that stand on their own.
  2. Next, paint a couple layers as a base on each egg. You can stick with pastel colors, which are typically traditional in the United States. Or, my personal favorite, use a bold color as a base, which is more typically found in places like Prague and Budapest. wooden painted easter eggs
  3. Now it is time to bring out the smaller detailing brushes and stencils! Create any type of pattern you want. Some good references for painted easter egg ideas would be floral patterns and henna designs.

  4. If your eggs need more add some rhinestones. I used small flat-back pearls. You could also use glitter or gold leaf!
  5. Now if you want to add more 3D detail in your painted easter egg designs, I would suggest using Pebeo cerne relief. It dries transparent so you could add it to the base or just use for detail to create an enamel effect. It is a very unique product.

Painted Easter egg designs using the Cerne Relief provide a very unique hand decorated look.

How To Display Your Painted Eggs

If you are using hollow eggs you can place them in a small decorative Easter basket for display. Or put them in a small glass container. Or you could even hang your decorative Easter eggs on strings! If you are using the flat-based wooden eggs you can decorate all of your shelves and tables with them. Enjoy!
