Wooden and foam eggs are most often used to make decorative Easter eggs. Wooden eggs are painted, and foam eggs are decorated with fabric, satin ribbons, beads and sequins. All elements are attached to the plastic egg with pins, which are fixed with white glue. The result is bright, elegant, sparkling Easter eggs. They are used to decorate the interior, holiday table, and as a souvenir. To make a decorative egg, prepare: a 7-8 cm polystyrene foam egg, a light blue satin ribbon 5-10 mm wide, silver or blue sequins and beads, pins with beautiful silver heads and nail pins, glitter glue, adhesive decorative tape with blue flowers, PVA glue, decorative elements for decorating the egg, scissors.

Using regular pins, attach the ribbon to the egg as shown in the video tutorial, dividing the egg into four equal parts vertically and then in half horizontally. Attach songs along the ribbons using pins and beads. Dip the pins into glue and secure all the elements with them. Continue filling the egg with decorative elements in the suggested order or create your own pattern.

After all the pins are ready, thread a sew-on sequin flower onto each pin.

Take a piece of foam plastic (expanded polystyrene) 6 cm long and with a diameter. Cut it so that you get an egg. Cut with scissors, feel free to chop it at the beginning. It is at the end that you will correct it, cutting it off a little and a little.

And now, begin to pierce the foam egg with prepared needles and sequins. It will probably be easier to start from the middle of the top of the egg.

Topiary "Bird's Nest". Super creative"

There are many options for decorating Easter eggs. For example, braiding eggs with beads and bugles. This process is very painstaking, but interesting. The result can be a real masterpiece, for example, beaded egg like in this photo:

There are a lot of options and patterns for braiding eggs with beads. To begin with, it is important to pay attention to the blanks themselves. They are different, so the materials must be selected taking into account the size and shape of the workpiece.

Wooden blank "Egg on a stand"

If for a large egg preparation it is better to use larger size beads, for example, No. 8 or No. 5, then for smaller ones, microbeads No. 10 or No. 11 are suitable. You can braid an egg with various materials: wire, thread, spandex, fishing line. Wire weaving is stronger because the thread can fray over time. Thus, having chosen the blank itself, the braiding material, beads, glass beads, you can begin the decorating process. You can visually familiarize yourself with the materials and choose a souvenir Easter egg blank in our store.

You can decorate Easter eggs in an original way using fresh leaves and flowers. It's quite simple and fast. You need to put leaves or petals on the not yet colored eggs and dip them into the dye.

In order for the eggs to be painted with the imprint of the design from the attached stencil, they need to be tightly wrapped in a stocking, tied and painted. After coloring we get original patterns.

You can apply ornaments to already painted eggs using colored paper. For this work you will need shaped hole punches used in scrapbooking, shaped scissors and glue. If you choose a self-adhesive material, you will not need glue. When starting work, think over the pattern in advance and mark with a pencil the locations of the cuttings.

A more labor-intensive process of decorating eggs is using veneer and straw. Using this technique, you can create real masterpieces that delight the eye with their festive decorations! Look how beautiful it is!

“Caryopsis” eggs will be an excellent accessory for Easter table decor. To create them, everything that the housewife has on hand in the kitchen will be useful: cereals, noodles, coffee beans, black peppercorns. All that remains is to arm yourself with glue (PVA is possible) or paste, a glue gun and, having lubricated the surface of the egg blank, tightly paste it with buckwheat, dried grape seeds or roll in semolina. When the glue dries, apply paint. As a result we get the following:

A great way to decorate Easter eggs for needlewomen who know how to knit is to tie them with colored threads with the addition of beads and rhinestones.

But even here there is a simpler and quick option creating beautiful holiday “shirts” for eggs. Decorating with braid, ribbons, lace, beads, buttons, we create “openwork” eggs. It is enough to wrap a decorative ribbon or braid no more than 1 cm wide around the workpiece. Apply glue to the edges and ends of the braid to fix it, and then glue or sew beads, decorative buttons, and suitable pendants onto the tape. To prevent the Easter egg from rolling, you can make a stand from a strip of cardboard, previously decorated with braid.

Eggs entwined with soutache cord or jute look original and stylish. We tightly wrap the wooden egg blank with a cord, which is attached to the base with a glue gun. And then we decorate with a bow, half beads, glue drops, embroider the letters XB and do everything that your creative imagination suggests.

Egg using quilling technique

One cannot help but recall decorating eggs with paper curls made using the quilling technique. That's very beautiful! Making such beauty is not as difficult as it might seem.

Whether you choose a simple or more elaborate option, it doesn’t matter, as a result of the work you will get a wonderful, original, “airy” decoration.

To work, take strips of quilling paper, glue, tweezers and a fork for curling the strips. You can cut strips of paper yourself, but there are ready-made sets of different colors and densities on sale, which is very convenient. If you still decide to cut the paper yourself, use special paper cutters and a cutting mat (self-healing mat) with markings that make it convenient to measure the required width of the strips. The surface of such a rug has the property of self-healing, which makes it possible to use knives and other tools without damaging the surface of the furniture. Once you have decided on the design, chosen the appropriate paper and cut it into strips, start twisting the curls, tightly wrapping the paper around the fork. Secure the tip of the strip with glue. Then remove the roll and use your hands to shape it right size and shape. When the required number of pieces is ready, carefully decorate your Easter souvenirs with them using tweezers and glue. An elegant Easter decoration is ready!

How to decorate eggs - other ways

Using the dry felting method, you can make these elegant Easter souvenirs.

To work, you will need a base made of thick foam rubber, cut in the shape of an egg or a foam blank, wool, felting needles, a marker and decorative elements: rhinestones, ribbons, beads, sequins. The base is covered with small strands of wool, starting from the top of the head and gradually pressed down with needles. We decorate the egg with thin strands of wool of contrasting colors, rolling them with a thin needle.

You can also decorate an Easter souvenir with floss threads, winding them from the top of the egg down, moving along halftones to color scheme. It turns out very tender and beautiful.

The festive table can be decorated with an Easter composition. For example, place painted, decorated eggs in a sisal nest. Sisal is amazing natural material, it is a pleasure to work with it, and a nest made from it looks very natural. So, we twist the sisal “nest”, we can reinforce the bottom with cardboard on the reverse side. We decorate the composition with artificial flowers, leaves and place eggs in the nest. You can make small nests for each egg separately and place them on the Easter table. Holiday mood guaranteed!

For those who love bright, unusual colors in decoration, marbling is a suitable option. The dyeing technology is simple. All you need is marbling paints or nail polish various colors, bowl filled 2/3 with water room temperature and the egg preparations themselves. We drop all shades of paint into the water and spread it with a thin stick to form fancy patterns on the surface. Gently dip the egg into the water and turn until the color covers the entire surface. Then take out the egg and lay it out to dry. To do this, it is advisable to prepare in advance a foam base with toothpicks inserted into it in a checkerboard pattern. By laying eggs on them, we reduce the contact area of the surfaces and preserve the painted surface without defects.

You can also decorate eggs for Easter using regular colored paper. This is a very simple way of decorating and an excellent game for mother’s little helpers, which will allow them to show their imagination and feel like adult housewives.

You will need: glue and scissors. Cut out flowers and a strip of green paper for the grass. For flowers, it is most convenient to use shaped hole punches, for example this Flower Hole Punch. The length of the base (grass) is about 13 cm. We cut out all the flowers of different diameters, twist the leaves with them (you can use scissors) and, placing one on top of the other, glue them together by the middle so as to obtain multi-layered petals and volume. Glue the ribbon with grass into a ring - the stand is ready. Place an egg on it and attach a flower to it with a drop of glue.

Also, a scattering of small flowers made of foil or fabric on an Easter egg will look light and festive in the spring. Using a template, or using a shaped composter that suits your taste, we cut out the flowers and “plant” them on a drop of glue.

Can be done mosaic egg. This Easter egg decor idea is from Stephanie Hung. The technique is simple: color the eggs with food coloring and let them dry. We break the shells into mosaic fragments and glue them with white glue to a whole unpainted egg, leaving small gaps between them. It looks very interesting.

The mosaic technique can be complicated by using pieces of fine porcelain and any unnecessary decorations - crystal beads, artificial pearls, vintage buttons, pendants, rhinestones.

You can try something unusual in decorating Easter souvenirs with thin multi-colored foil, varnish markers and 3D contours. We tear the foil sheets in half and wrap the eggs. Using the back of a teaspoon, smooth out the foil. Then we apply a design with a varnish marker and decorate it with sequins, which we place on a small amount of 3D contour of a suitable color.

An Easter souvenir decorated with polymer clay looks original. This material molds like plasticine, and after baking in the oven it becomes hard. Polymer clay You can decorate various surfaces. It is better to choose two or three different colors to work with to get a more colorful result. You will also need a blade, an ordinary stationery blade, and a device for rolling out layers (a simple rolling pin will do). The clay must be kneaded in your hands, first cutting it into small pieces. It should become soft. Afterwards we roll it out into thin plates, no more than 1-2 mm thick. As a result, we get several plates of different colors, equalize them, put one on top of the other and roll them out with a rolling pin. It is important that there is no air left between the layers. Then we tightly roll the plates into a “roll” and cut them into thin slices, which we use to decorate the surface of the Easter egg. To prevent fingerprints from leaving on the product, it is better to wear gloves. When the workpiece is completely covered, it needs to be rolled in your palms to erase the boundaries between the fragments and baked in the oven at 110 degrees for 20 minutes. When the product has completely cooled, you need to apply varnish to it.

Decoupage Easter eggs

In custody, Special attention I would like to focus on decorating Easter eggs using the decoupage technique. To work you need napkins with various designs, paste or glue, scissors, a brush and acrylic paints. PVA glue can be diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio. Sometimes whipped cream is used as an adhesive. egg white. We cover the egg blanks with light acrylic - white, cream, salad or yellow. Then we cut out individual fragments from the napkin or use it entirely, making only a few cuts along the edge. Carefully separate the excess layers so that only one, thinnest top layer remains. Lubricate the surface of the egg with glue and gradually wrap it, starting from the top. It is more convenient to decorate in small fragments, as they lie more evenly on the round surface of the egg.

Thus, we paste over the egg, carefully smoothing the edges of the napkin. The top can be coated again with glue or decoupage varnish and let the product dry. When the glue dries, we apply decorative leaves, curls, and ornaments using a stained glass painting outline. Unusual and colorful Easter eggs are ready!

In this review, we did not talk about all the ways to decorate Easter eggs. Perhaps you will use one of them or invent a new one! Unleash your creative imagination! Happy holiday to you!
