Egg Decorating!



This year the boys and I wanted to do something slightly different with our Easter eggs! So we decided to try and decoupage idea I had been seeing on the internet. We colored our eggs with standard egg dyes and then let them dry completely. Then we took one layer of some spring decorated napkins I had picked up from the dollar store, and cut them into strips and little sections. I didn't have actual decoupage glue so I took basic white glue and mixed it 1:1 with water. We put the glue solution onto the eggs, placed on strips of the napkins and then gently put more glue solution on that. It was easy to tear and the boys lost a bit of patience, but it was fun and the eggs were different and unique! Overall the boys said it was great and want to try it again next year.
