Easy Wooden DIY Painted Easter Eggs
Learn how to make easy wooden painted Easter eggs in this DIY craft tutorial. If you are looking for an alternative to traditional easter eggs this spring, check out this simple way to paint wood eggs. It's the perfect craft for kids this season!
Materials
- Wooden Easter Eggs
- Acrylic Paint
- A Container with a Lid
- Googly Eyes (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the lid from the container and set it aside. Add paint in your desired colors to the container.
- Add the wooden eggs to the container, put the lid back on, and (while holding the lid securely in place) carefully roll and shake the eggs inside the container for 10 seconds.
- Open the lid and check on the eggs. If there are still many areas without paint, replace the lid and roll/shake for another 10 seconds.PRO TIP: You don't want to roll the eggs around for too long or the colors will mix too much and you'll get gray eggs. We want multi-colored, marbled eggs that are mostly coated so shake and check often until they're done.
- Let the eggs dry completely. (These wooden eggs have a flat bottom so they can dry upright.) Once the eggs are dry, you could coat them with clear acrylic sealer for extra protection if you want.
- (Optional) - You can glue googly eyes onto the dry eggs to make silly egg buddies as a fun Easter craft for kids!
Notes
- You can use any type of container as long as it has a lid, is clean, and your eggs fit inside. Some options include old shoe boxes, yogurt or oatmeal containers, tupperware containers, or shipping boxes.
- If you don't have wooden eggs, you can use plastic easter eggs. Make sure to hot glue the two parts of the eggs together first so they don't come apart when you're shaking them in the container.
