Monday Funday: Paper Wrapped Easter Eggs



Can you believe that Easter is only a few weeks away? It comes early this year, but there is still plenty of time to get crafty. One of the most popular Easter projects for kids to create are Easter eggs. Kids will love making paper wrapped Easter eggs with strips of paper and Mod Podge. Cathie and Steve created this paper wrapped egg using our special Mod Podge Wash Out formula. This formula is special because it is kid friendly. If they accidentally spill some on their clothes, it washes right out. Below are all the supplies you will need below, along with their instructions.

 

PLAID Supplies


·       Plaid ® Hot Glue Gun Helpers

·       Mod Podge ® Wash Out For Kids, 8 oz.


Other Supplies

Easter egg shape (plastic/wood or real)
Foam paintbrush
Scrapbook paper
Scissors
Bird nest
moss
Hot glue

Instructions


1. Cut the sheet of scrapbook paper into 1/4” strips.  Apply Mod Podge to the back and front of the strip, position one end on the egg and begin wrapping the egg with the strip in a random pattern.  Repeat the process until the entire egg is covered.  Allow to dry.

2. Hot glue a palm-full of moss to the center of the nest.  Hot glue the egg into the nest.

PROJECT TIP:  Add a touch of glitter by top coating the egg with Sparkle Mod Podge.
