Glittered Easter Egg Ornaments
Easter baskets to brighten
someone's day.
- Small sponge brush
- 2-1/2-inch-long plastic Easter eggs (hot pink, orange, green, yellow, purple, and blue)
- Mod Podge decoupage medium
- Glitter (in colors to match the eggs)
- Paintbrush
- Waxed paper
- Paper plate
- 10-inch length of 5/8-inch-wide sheer ribbon for each egg
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Hot-glue gun and hotmelt adhesive
1. Using the sponge brush, cover a small area of a plastic Easter egg with decoupage medium. Sprinkle the area with glitter while the medium is still wet. Continue this process until the entire egg is covered. Place the egg on waxed paper to dry.
2. Once the egg is dry, dip the handle end of the paintbrush into the decoupage medium. Dot three or four drops of the medium on the egg surface. Working over a paper plate, sprinkle the wet drops with a contrasting color of glitter. Shake the excess glitter back onto the paper plate. Continue in this manner until you've covered the entire egg with polka dots. Allow the egg to dry completely.
3. Fold a ribbon length in half. Tie a knot in the folded ribbon 2 inches from the fold, and tie the ends into a bow. Trim the ribbon ends. Glue the bow loop to the top of the egg.
