I love great recipes, awesome DIY and beautiful craft projects. Come on over and check it out! I can also be found on Pinterest Facebook and Twitter. I hope you enjoy this Easter egg craft.

Glitter eggs

Hard boil white eggs and let cool completely.

Place super fine glitter (I used metallic) in a shallow dish.

Using a paintbrush, brush a thin layer of Elmer’s glue onto the egg.

Roll the eggs in the glitter to cover completely

** Note – I did one side at a time with the glue/glitter steps.

Ombre eggs

Hard boil 9 white eggs and let cool completely.

Label plastic cups 1-9.

Put 1-cup boiling water and 2 TBSP white vinegar in each cup.

Starting with cup 1, put one drop of food coloring into the cup. In cup 2, put two drops of food coloring into the cup. In cup 3, put three drops of food coloring into the cup. Continue adding the drops in the subsequent cups.

Carefully place one egg in each cup and allow to steep for at least 5 minutes.

Place in an empty egg carton to dry.
