In anticipation of Easter, my husband and I made these eggs last night. Ok, fine. I made these eggs last night while my husband studied Physics next to me. He did make one egg. I guess that was overdoing it for him. =)
I just love them! Here’s the details if you’re interested.
- Find some pretty napkins. It looks nicer when the napkins have a white border around the designs. I got these napkins at Wal-Mart. Tissue paper works well too. You will also need modge podge and a foam paintbrush. Oh yeah, and eggs! I used blown eggs, but if you don’t plan on keeping them, you can use hard-boiled eggs.
- Cut out the designs you want to use. You can also cut out individual letters to spell a word.
- Peal the back layer from the napkins. (This could also be done before you cut out the designs.)
- Using a foam paintbrush, put a thin layer of modge podge on the surface or your egg.
- Place your design on the modge podged egg. Smooth it down with your finger.
- Brush modge podge over your design. This little monster looks like he’s saying, “No!! Not icky modge podge! I don’t want to be stuck to this egg forever!” =)
- Let the egg dry. It is easier to do one side at a time, leaving time to dry between sides. I stuck a toothpick in the tiny hole I had used to blow the eggs. Then I turned them upside down and stuck them in an egg carton- that way the eggs didn’t roll around and get smudges or get newspaper stuck to them.
Here’s how they turned out:
Monsters… for my classroom.
I made girly ones for my (almost) seven-year old niece who came to visit me today. (Joshua made the one that says, “easter.” Didn’t he do a good job?)
These springtime ones I made from tissue paper. They are going in my hutch.
Have an ‘egg’ceptional day!
adorable eggs! I hope to make some this coming Sunday.
Nice!
One Word.. AwEsOmE
What a lovely work! I’ve never seen something like this, thank you for sharing it!
Well those are cute monsters!
Awesome! I really liked those eggs!
These look really great, certainly made me smile!

Really love it! so cute!
loved the eggs! Happy Easter in adv
These are so cool! I am pretty lazy when it comes to decorating eggs, if I even do it at all. This seems like a pretty straight forward idea though so I might just try it. Great job and congrats on FP!
Really pretty. Looks like fun. Congrats on FP!
Aww there so cute i am going to make some
what a cute idea, love the designs, I presume modge podge is some kind of glue or are you using old fashioned flour and water?
Yeah, it’s just a brand of glue used for collages and such. It leaves a nice gloss or matte finish on whatever you are glueing.. depending on which brand/type you buy.
you’re so creative… love the monster eggs..
These eggs are egg-xactly the perfect Easter decorations. How pretty.
These are adorable! I’ve been a modpodge addict since the tender age of 6, and am always looking for new items to annihilate with pretty pictures and glue. (:
CAn you do this with boiled eggs instead of blown? What a fun and neat thing. modge-podge. I will have to look into this stuff. It looks fun. We already colored our eggs for this year, but next year I have a feeling we will be gluing some stuff! And I am re-blogging this one now! Enjoy your holiday!
The eggs are delightful. I have done them myself with hard boiled, blown, plastic and my favorite (wooden eggs). You can get them at most craft stores or I have also found them online already covered in something that looks just like eggshell.
Sure, I just wouldn’t eat them!
This is such a brilliant idea, saves time and still be able to have pretty easter eggs! I thought those designs were hand drawn at first
Yes, I can see that you guys have been busy. A lot of effort has gone into these eggs. Congratulations on being freshly pressed.
Very cute
like this verymuch

Eggs must be red. Otherwise are not Easter eggs. They are just daily eggs we eat in our breakfast.
Whoa! Amazing and creative egg designs! Love ‘em all! Gorgeous pieces! Cheers

That’s so creative and nice. I love the monster eggs~
easter was my fav holiday in school we dont celebrate it but i loved the thought of it
We are getting ready for our egg deco project this week. Will add this to the mix. Very fun!
I couldn’t resist a pun like that.
These are so fun! We always melted crayon wax onto the eggs to make “cool” patterns, but these are wayyyy prettier, haha.
Happy Easter!

I am very eggcited too seeing your lovely eggs (I mean the eggs you made not laid).
Omg, these are the nicest eggs I’ve seen, such a great home project! I think I can get my two ninja warriors to even try this. Thank you for sharing
Really cute eggs!
Inspiring!
They’re very pretty. Egg-cellent job!
They’re fabulous ! (You’re making me feel so lazy, I haven’t even bought the eggs yet !)
Whats easter without music. what’s your favorite easter song?
Loved the egg idea!! Do you give them out to your students, or just decorate your room with them? Congrats on freshly pressed!!!!!!!
I just decorated my room with them. They love them!
This is such a brilliant idea, saves time and still be able to have pretty easter eggs! I thought those designs were hand drawn at first
Perhaps your husband was attempting to unlock the secrets of the universe – specifically, time travel – in order to travel back in time and decorate your eggs BEFORE you ever sat down to work on them in the first place!
Didn’t that occur to you?

These Easter eggs are so cute and so easy that I just had to share! Thanks to the 2 Busy Brunettes for this fun Easter idea.
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your webpage? My blog site is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my visitors would definitely benefit from some of the information you present here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Thanks a lot!
You sure can. We don’t mind at all if you provide a link back to our site.
They look lovely, I paint mine by hand and hang them in the window … looks really nice. Which reminds me have to put them up this week
Really love these eggs, will give it go this weekend with Izzy!

Veramente graziose, non le aprite vero?
What a great idea!
These are super cute. I love the different designs you chose. I see this being a great Saturday project with the little ones. I also thought that instead of buying designs, we could draw some on tissue paper, then paste those on the eggs. That way they would be even more personalized. Thanks so much for the great post.
Great idea! Thanks for the post!
These are so cute! And actually doable. Thanks!
These are adorable.
What a fabulous idea!
absolutely adorable!
These are so amazing! How adorable!
Wow! I should make one of those for my family this Easter Sunday. Lov IT!
so nice
stunning
I wish I could go back in time and give myself monster easter eggs for Easter. Those are adorable!
CUTE! I looooove the little Aliens/Monsters.
So cute, great idea!
Love the crafts! Keep up the great work!
What fonts did you use for the “girly ones”, which say “love” and “easter”?
The effect is really nice
I didn’t use a font from the computer. I just used th bachelorette napkins I found at Walmart!

Awesome! I have nowhere to put them in my small dorm, but I am so making these when I go home for the holidays (even though that will be long past Easter).

This looks like a fun thing to do. I would try it with boiled eggs instead of blowing them out.
Looks like I found next year’s new thing to try!

Modge Podge gosh I had forgotten the cool things you can do with it! Thanks. You’re eggs are truly cute.
OMG…. these are so adorable! I never used Modge Podge before, but now I am going to have to get myself some! Thanks ever so much for sharing – what a great post! GREAT JOB – very EGG-ceptional!
This is so cute!
Love these have not had time to do them with my kids yet!
I have spent the last two hours attempting to clean up the kitchen of dried egg, bits of tissue, paint and glue, however I do have two very egg-cited kids (couldn’t resist… sorry….) and some great little Easter pressies – thanks for the fabulous idea ladies – we just love them!
You’re welcome! Glad we could inspire you to create!
Love the title!
Those look fun! Thanks for a cool idea, and congrats on being FP!
SUPERCUTE
nice! nice! nice! and funny !:-)
So cute! Just chucked when I read your post title… Now you’ve got me eggcited about Easter too
Lovely eggs! and Happy eastern!

They are so pretty! It must be hard not to break them while doing it.
Actually, it’s not hard at all. Plus I baked them in the oven at about 200 for 15 minutes or so. I can’t remember the exact time or temp. But it made them more durable.
I see! That sounds like a good way to do it.
Great idea. I would never thout to use tissue paper as it is so soft but looks like it works well.
Check out my site and more easter egg ideas http://arhitekturaplus.wordpress.com/tag/easter/

Thanks for sharing, and have a blessed Easter! 
very cute – I ‘pinned’ this… also I’m looking for a great Easter fruit displays.. if anyone has seen any new ones this year.!
Love the eggs!! They turned out so nice!!! Sure beats dyeing the eggs (and finger tips).

i love the eggs! they’re fun and bright. i use napkins and modge podge on votives holders. i recycle glass candles like Glade candles or purchase them online and use the same method. one year when things were tight i made a bunch as christmas gifts using holly napkins and hot glued some flat stones on the bottom for a base. awesome – btw love your blog header, who drew it. this is a fun blog. thanks for sharing.
Super Cute! We need to put some creative easter decorations in my dental office in Wicker Park!

I love these, so cute. Wish I had children to make them for.
Do you think that this would work on hard boiled eggs?
Sure, just don’t eat them!
I love the colors and designs and no dye! yaaaaay!!! the springtime ones are my favorites but i love them all!!! i have a fine art blog dedicated to the art work of my father but i am a ‘crafty ‘ person by nature too so i need to start on the craft-sphere of blogging. love the blog! gonna bookmark and follow this one!!! Happy Easter and Peace!
OMG, I love the flowers and the robots especially! Brilliant! I love that you blew out the egg so you can keep them for a long time!!
What a neat idea!! I love the way those turned out!!
The eggs are super pretty and I always wanted to make one. Thanks to you now I know the easiest and simplest way to make one.
Great idea! I just may have to give this a try.

Adorable monster eggs
Was thinking of giving mine a Harry Potter make-over !
Those monster eggs are just too cute! Thanks for sharing.
Such a cute idea! Now I know what I’m doing this weekend!
Those eggs are absolutely adorable! I made some easter-eggs myself last night, tough not this type, I made cardboard-ones but now I’ll definitely have to make these ones as well it doesn’t seem to be that difficult! Does it take a lot of time?
If I could get hold of some blown eggs I would do this…very cute!
What a wonderful idea! They look professionally done! I’ll file this Easter craft away for future use.

These eggs a delightful. I have done this same thing on wooden eggs. (I found some online that were treated to look like real eggs.) This is a wonderful way to celebrate spring and kid friendly as well.
GREATEST IDEA EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are some lovely monsters!
Last year I made some “plaid eggs” from martastewart.com
These are amazing! Those monsters would be a sweet surprise for any child to find!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
So creative!! I love them!! : )

Brilliant! They are adorable! I am from the UK and I am assuming that modge podge is a form of glue? (love the name!)
Very cute!

The coolest Easter eggs I’ve seen!
This is awesome! I have so may scrapbooking stickers that would go great with this. I don’t know what modge podge is lol but I am inspired! Beautiful work!
Would it work on Chocolate rather than real eggs. Love the designs
I’m not real sure. I’d never want to try it though! I’d rather eat the chocolate!
So creative!
