Bring out a young crafter's creativity with these Easter egg heads. Kids think the wiggle eyes are especially funny.
What you'll need:
- Boiled or Chocolatescape Eggs (see tips below)
- Tulip 3D Paint, in a variety of colors
- Tulip 3D Paint in white or tacky glue
- Wiggle eyes, in any size
- Mini bowl, optional
- Empty Egg cartons (if using Chocolatescape Eggs)
- Cooling rack or film canister lids
- Tweezers, optional
- Ice pick (if using Chocolatescape Eggs)
How to make it:
If using Chocolatescape Eggs: Click here for directions on how to make Chocolatescape Eggs.
You will need for the eggs to dry once you decorate them. Use the ice pick to poke a hole in the parts of the egg carton that stick up (dividing the eggs). You can then place the stick through this hole to allow your decorative egg to dry.
If using boiled eggs:
You will need to decorate only one side of the egg at a time. Let dry either on egg cartons turned upside down, on a cooling rack or film canister lid. Decorate other side when first side is dry.
- Decide where you want to place the eyes. Put a puddle of white paint in the spot and press the wiggle eye in the puddle. Repeat for other eye. (Note: You may use glue if you wish.)
- Use the other colors to create hair, mouth, ears, or anything you want.
- If you wish to add a bow, make a puddle of paint and press the bow in the paint. (Note: You may use glue if you wish.)
- Repeat as many times as desired around the egg. (Reminder: If this egg is not on a stick, you will need to leave one side empty until it is dry.)
- Let dry as described above.
- Place on a decorative plate, an Easter basket, or make an arrangement for your table.
