Today I’m sharing Easter egg crafts. The days are getting longer and soon will be spring. Easter isn’t far it’s April 4th, so I think it’s a great time to begin sharing ideas for spring, don’t you?

After finding this 6″ paper Mache egg on Factory Direct Crafts I bought the egg and began thinking of spring egg craft ideas.

How I Began My Easter Egg Crafts

Briefly, I was planning to paint the egg pink as you can see in this picture. However, thinking how using smaller paper Mache eggs I had bought. I had decided keeping the eggs in the same color is best, so I begin creating my Spring egg project.

So now, I begin painting my egg two coats ASCP Old white and let it dry in between coats.

As you can see in this picture, before I made plans to use a graphic image an applique was the plan for Easter egg craft. However, realizing the applique may be a problem since the paper Mache egg has an arc the applique would be an issue.

Adding a Piece of Lace to the Egg Craft

So then, I continue cutting my lace and using Mod Podge I add the lace and pat to adhere to the egg project. Incidentally, I used plastic wrap to keep the lace from wrinkling however, I did forget to take a picture.

This is where I learned about the plastic wrap trick The Apple Street Cottage, take a look.

By the way, this is when I had chosen my graphic I have had on my computer. Also using scissors that add a fancy edge gives this graphic a pretty look to my Easter egg craft.

After I cut the graphic, I add Mod Podge and I place it on the Easter egg project. Computer paper has gotten thinner, so I immediately use the plastic wrap again and the image is perfect. The plastic wrap together with the Mod Podge will definitely be something I do when using graphic image.

Adding Lace Ribbon to Give the Lace Finished Edges

In the meantime, I cut lace ribbon to finish the lace off. It gives the lace a nice, finished edge and also adds another layer of texture to the front of my Easter egg project.

So then, using dry Chamomile buds I have and add them using Elmer’s glue giving my Easter egg craft elegance.

Lastly, I place the Easter egg piece into my French Jardinière where I have added moss and a nest, I created that you may enjoy seeing in this post.  Spanish moss is placed inside for another element of texture and spring craft project fits nicely inside the nest.

You may also enjoy reading how I made these easy moss grapevine balls and are fast to make.

The antique shutter and the easy wreath I made recently finish spring egg craft off with a French Market basket filled with lavender for an additional French look.

I hope you enjoyed the Easter egg crafts and I would love for you to share on Pinterest and save for the future.  This craft is quite easy to create.
