What you’ll need to make easy decoupage Easter eggs:

  • 1 egg
  • White school glue
  • Decoupage paper or thin wrapping paper
  • Ribbon to hang (optional)
  • Tape (optional)

How to make easy decoupage Easter eggs:

  • If you want to hang the egg as a decoration, you’ll need to blow it first or use a craft paper one which you can buy in places like Hobbycraft.  Make a loop of ribbon and tape to the top of the egg.  Otherwise, just hard boil the egg and allow to cool.
  • Cut up the decoupage or thin wrapping paper into small strips.
  • Brush glue onto the egg and stick on the paper pieces.
  • Add more glue over the top so it’s well stuck down.  White PVA school glue will dry clear so don’t worry about using too much.
  • Leave to dry.

You can also use tissue paper and why not stuck on some sparkly bits to decorate and give a jeweled effect.
