If you celebrate Easter and have young kids, then you probably have plastic eggs around. And, if you let the kids play with said plastic eggs, then you might end up with a lot of eggs that are now all kinds of mismatched!A s Easter eggs go, mismatched plastic eggs are definitely not the most aesthetically pleasing. So, instead of throwing the mismatches out (or leaving them as is), why not pretty them up?! We decided to give it a shot by making easy “paper mache” Easter eggs! So much better, right?!?! The process is really easy! Big Brother & I enjoyed making these paper mache eggs together! Here’s how to make your own:
Step 6: Enjoy a super cute basket full of paper mache Easter eggs!!
These are such a great project, and I won't get glitter all over my house! Thanks!
Cute as can be!
You did a super job with these, we have had some around for a few years now. We are visiting family, think we'll do these as a busy project for all the little hands 🙂
Fun project! Thanks for auditioning for American Crafter- good luck:)
they lovely, great idea!
Those turned out really nice! Pinning to my pinterest page 🙂
Plastic Easter eggs are heinous, I loveeee this project! My toddler is verrrryy nosy so I've been keeping Easter crafts pretty low key this year. I feel like the egg dying kits have come a long way since we were kids, we had a lot of fun "splurging" on the fancy $3 kits and decorating hard-boiled eggs this year.
Even though this project looks messy, haha, I bet you and your boy had fun decorating them. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this week.
glue dots for the glitter – genius idea! I very, very rarely get out the glitter… but if I do, I'll have to remember this tip!
I love your eggs! Great job!
They look great!We’ll make some ,too!
These are so adorable! We are TOTALLY making these!
after they dry are you able to open them? Like is it easy to cut them so you can still use them? Super cute I’m going to have to try this! LOve!
Hi Jessica! I actually didn’t try that. My goal was just to make the plastic eggs look pretty for a display, not to use. But, I would guess if you used an X-Acto knife around them, it should probably work! If you try it, come back and let us know! 🙂
