Monday Funday: Zig Zag Eggs
By Candie Cooper (To see more craft projects by Candie visit her, blog Candie Copper's Journal)
Hippity, Hoppity, Easter's on it's way! Did you
ever sing the song, Peter Cottontail, as a kid? That song has been
stuck in my head as there has been a lot of Easter crafts on my work table
lately. From painted baskets, egg dying and these eggs, everything
is bright and cheery.
For this project you will need some pastel colored paints--this
is a photo of the Martha Stewart color pack, but you only need two colors
per egg. You will also need large wood eggs, paint brushes, painters
tape, scissors, green felt, lizard and flower embellishments, ric rac, and
hot glue.
Base-coat the eggs in a light color and leave to dry. Then add zig zags with short pieces of tape. You can see mine
aren't perfectly spaced apart. Just start with a peak of tape along
the bottom and continue outward, trimming where needed. BURNISH the
tape really well to the eggs before starting the next step.
Paint between each zig-zag and leave to dry, you
may need a second coat here. Once the paint is dry, peel the tape
away. Make touch ups if needed because sometimes the tape isn't fool
proof. If you want your eggs to be shiny, seal them with a coat of
acrylic gloss Folk Art varnish.
Use hot glue to add embellishments, like a strip of fringed
felt grass and colorful lizard (from the dollar store). You could
also use paper flowers, buttons, and silk leaves to decorate the eggs.
This egg was decorated felt flowers and ric-rac trim stems. You can hide them around the yard or park for a fun game.
