Make Your Own: Easter Egg Decorated with Gold | 2022

The basis of our craft project will be an Easter egg, which can be made of plastic, polystyrene, or wood. We’ll leave the choice of material up to you. The only real difference is whether you want to hang the finished decoration. If so, we recommend plastic or polystyrene. Of course, we have many types and sizes to choose from.
Once you’ve chosen your egg, it’s time to give it a new colorful coating. Since we try to create in harmony with nature, we chose eco-friendly Nature paints, which are gentle on the environment.

Once the paint is dry, we can move on to the more fun part of decorating, gilding. Gilding may look complicated, but it’s actually very simple. To start, we need application milk, which we apply to the areas we’ve selected. Once dry, the glue creates a great base for the metallic leaf, which we place over the painted area. You can also apply the foil with a brush. Later, you can use it to remove any leftover pieces that didn’t stick to the surface of the egg.

We used a gilding set for our project, which already includes everything you need. You can use gilding on different surfaces to create patterns or turn every Easter egg into a unique piece. Your decorated creations can be used in ikebana arrangements and wreaths, hung on golden rain branches, or placed in a basket.

Remember, crafting doesn’t have to rely on just one technique. Your creative time can result in something this varied, too.

Easter crafting is one of the activities we enjoy most. Whether you decide to decorate eggs, make wreaths, or create other decorations, the main thing is to enjoy it to the fullest. And we’re glad we can be part of your creative journey. :)
