1. Prepare your eggs
Before you start painting, make sure your eggs are clean and dry. You can empty them by piercing a small hole at each end and blowing gently to remove the contents. Then rinse the shells with warm water and dry them thoroughly.
2. Choose your colors
Prepare your paint colors in advance. You can opt for acrylic paints, fine-tipped felts or diluted food dyes in water. Make sure you have a variety of colours to create unique patterns and designs.
3. Use various techniques
- Try soaking technique: dip the egg into the paint to get a marbled effect.
- Use stencils to create precise patterns.
- Use a fine brush to draw detailed details.
4. Experience with patterns and drawings
Let your creativity flow by experimenting with different patterns and designs on your Easter eggs. You can paint stripes, peas, flowers, geometric patterns or even drawings of Easter characters.
5. Add embellishments
For an even more spectacular effect, do not hesitate to add embellishments to your Easter eggs. You can glue glitters, beads, ribbons or stickers to create unique and shiny decorations.
6. Let dry properly
After painting and decorating your eggs, make sure you let them dry completely before handling them. Place them on a rack like a grid to allow excess paint to drain and dry evenly.
