DIY Craft: Glitter up those Easter Eggs

Let’s Glitter up those Easter Eggs with this quick and easy craft project…perfect to do with the kids!

Easter is right around the corner…so, I thought now would be a good time to update those Plastic Easter Eggs that we all have left over from years past.  You can give them an update quickly and easily with adhesive dots and glitter…so let’s Glitter up those Easter Eggs!
Glitter up those Easter Eggs
Step One:
Gather your supplies.  Here is a before picture of some eggs from last year, they came in three pieces instead of two, which makes them rather cool to begin with….
Of course everything is better with glitter, right!

Step Two:
Work over a piece of copy paper, simply attach the adhesive dots to the eggs one or two at a time and sprinkled the glitter over them, in the color of your choice.  Tap the loose excess glitter onto the copy paper and then, use a paint brush to remove any additional excess glitter as needed.  
Designer Tips:
  • You will be sprinkling out a lot of glitter but not using much…as a little glitter goes a long ways.
  • Do one color of glitter at a time to keep from mixing colors together.
  • Simply fold the copy paper in the middle to easily pour the left over glitter back into their containers.
Step Three:
Repeat step two until you have the desired look on your egg.

Each egg can be done a bit differently to have a variety of looks.  If kids are helping you glitter up those eggs…they could each pick out 2 or 3 colors of glitter so they know which ones are theirs when all of them are done.  I did each of these three a bit different and they turned out great.
I also did a Facebook Live sharing this technique, where I used glue dots, Mod Podge and double sided tape.  I uploaded it and you can check it out on my YouTube channel:
