When your eggs are painted and varnished you can fill them with surprise treats! I have tried to think up non-chocolate / confectionery treats. I recommend you do a test area first and make sure you don’t over brush! When you have finished painting your eggs it is a good idea to use a matte varnish to seal and protect them. Make sure you wait until the paint is dry before you draw details over painted areas. Paint pens such as Posca pens and permanent Sharpie markers are also a great way to add fine details to your egg designs. Hint: Hold the egg using your pointer finger and thumb and paint around your fingers! You can paint the patches at the top and bottom of the egg later when the sides are dry. This will mean that the paint at the join of the egg will be neater.
I recommend keeping the egg whole if you want to paint it an all over solid colour. Also consider painting the inside of the egg too – which is a nice surprise detail. This is ideal when you want to paint half the egg a different colour. You can separate your hollow wooden eggs and paint each half individually. Step 2: Lightly sand your wooden eggs if required. It’s much easier to erase any mistakes at this stage! Keep the line work nice and light so that it will not show thorough your paint. Use a pencil to lightly sketch an outline of your design on the egg. You may find it helpful to sketch some ideas and patterns for your eggs before you start painting.Ĭreating colour roughs, with markers or paint, is also a good way to see how your egg designs will co-ordinate together.
