For a few years I had the idea in my head to make some nice Easter eggs, by coloring them black and white. I want to use plastic eggs for it, so I can use them for a couple of years as decoration for Easter. On Pinterest I saw sometimes beautiful eggs, but some are way too difficult to make for me. And most of the time I didn’t have time to make the DIY because I always had something to do for my study. But since I graduated I have a lot more time on my hands for my Blog. So with Easter coming soon in about three weeks from now, I finally started with coloring the eggs like I had in mind.
I can tell you now that it’s not easy to color these easter eggs. I have some paint experience, but had a lot of troubles keeping the lines the way I wanted it and a mistake was made very easy.
What do you need
1. White plastic eggs. I bought them at Action in a box of 8 pieces. They are packed in a nice carton box like it’s the real deal.
2. A little paint standard/tool for easter eggs. I bought mine at Action, but I also saw them at Hema.
3. Black permanent markers in different sizes. I had mine already for some time, but I think you can buy them everywhere.
The eggs:
The tool:
The markers:
All the time I started with an egg in the standard and then I started painting some small cirkels for example. After that I filled the white spaces outside the rounds with black.
Or a little bit bigger rounds:
I hold the striped eggs into my hand and painted it per stripe and turning the egg around.
Sometimes the color needed some drying time, so I started with a new egg then. So many design in my head already ;-).
The crosses were a little bit difficult, specially in the end when I had to make the last crosses between the first and the last one I did before. I started with the egg in the tool, but finally I had to take it out, because of coloring the top and bottom of the egg.
I wasn’t easy to make it the way I wanted, but now in the end I’m satisfied with the results. I have a lot more ideas to draw on the eggs and maybe I want to put some varnish on the eggs to keep them protected. Only I don’t know which varnish yet. I don’t want the eggs to become yellowish of the varnish. So if someone has a tip for that? If I tried some varnish I wil show you the results here on the blog.

[…] Then I painted two layers with the Wood & Wall paint from the Gamma on the bunny and the bowl. On the package it says you have to wait 6 hours to give it a second layer. But that’s not what I did, after 4 hours it was dry enough for me, so I painted the second layer. It’s not a bowl that I will use a lot, so no perfect layers needed. After painting you glue the easter bunny in the middle of the bowl. With searching a easter bunny on my attic, I also found some easter decoration that I bought during my study time. It was very colorful and must be at least 20 years old. So I painted it in the same way as the bowl and the bunny. It’s now shining on our easter table again after 20 years, together with the Black and white eggs from my other Blogpost. […]
