EASTER EGG DECORATING

Easter eggs are commonly decorated with lots and lots of colors. Ironically, wearing blocks of different colors is also in style right now too! Have you heard of color blocking? In terms of fashion (for both little girls and grown women), color blocking is used to describe when a garment has several solid colors integrated into the design. Imagine shirts and skirts with geometric “blocks” of colors. I thought it would be so fun to put a little fashion into our Easter eggs this year. Introducing: Color Block Easter Eggs!

Create geometric shapes with the washi tape. Luckily, the wash tape makes it easy to create triangles, squares, and rectagles. Simply get creative by wrapping a couple pieces of tape around your eggs.

Then, make sure the edges of the tape are securely sealed to the eggs.

With alternating pastel colors, paint your eggs! The acrylic paint on the white surface only took me one coat (score!). Plus, acrylic paint dries really quickly (score again!).

Be sure to keep one of the blocks white though! I reserved a white block near the top of each egg. Then, you paint that block with white Elmer’s glue and sprinkle on some golden glitter. Why not celebrate a golden egg in your Easter color blocking? SO FUN!

As you can see, I outlined the blocks of color with a black Sharpie. That part is optional but it helps to cover-up any spots where your paint lines weren’t perfect.

I think the gold adds just he perfect “pop” of glitter to the eggs.
