Carrot Eggs for Easter
Even though Easter is a few weeks away, I couldn’t resist creating some fun carrot eggs for my mantel.
These were super easy and fun to make!
How to Make Carrot Eggs for Easter
Supplies
Hard Boiled Eggs
Craft Paint
Sponge
Tissue Paper
Glue
Procedure
Sponge Paint Eggs
Instead of using dye for my eggs, I dabbed on orange craft paint with a sponge. This paint technique dried very quickly which was an added bonus.
Make the Carrot Top
The carrot tops were formed by folding a 4×4 square of green tissue paper.
Glue Carrot Top to Egg
After folding the tissue paper, adhere it to the egg with a dab of hot glue, then gently pull apart the layers of tissue paper to create fullness.
Display
Brown shredded paper in a vintage dish looks like a carrot garden!
I used these carrot eggs on my Easter themed mantel. Here’s a sneak peak!
Paula, this is just a darling idea. I’ve pinned it and will be giving it a try for the holiday. Thanks for sharing
Very cute and looks so easy!
Very colorful! Are they safe to eat or just for decoration?
They are hard boiled eggs but I won’t eat them because they haven’t been refrigerated after boiling. I am hoping that the insides will dry so that I can save them.
These are so cute! What a great idea for Easter!
Paula, these are TOO cute! Thanks so much for linking them to Grace at Home–I hope lots of people get to see these! I’m going to feature this post and I’m pinning it to my Easter board. Adorable!
Thanks, Richella!
OMG – this has to be the most original egg decorating idea that I’ve seen yet! I love this! 🙂
Thanks! I’ve enjoyed seeing them on my mantel this month.
Paula, these are just So sweet! We will be featuring them on the blog Tuesday! Thanks so much for sharing them with us!
Take care,
Trish
