I love Easter! My Mom always made it such a special time for us growing up. I have the best memories of dying Easter eggs, my mom making Easter bread and getting all dressed up to go to church. Being that my mom is from Germany she brought all of the German traditions with her here when she immigrated.

Along with those traditions were the giant paper mache Easter eggs. They have always been my favorite. I would sit in front of them for hours looking at the pictures and daydreaming of the Easter bunny coming to visit. This thought inspired me to make some Decoupage Easter eggs of my own to share with all of you this year! Not to mention that these are Vegan-friendly.
How cute are my sisters and I?

Supplies you will need:
Paper Mache eggs: Now I suppose if you are feeling extra crafty you could just make your own paper mache eggs, or, you can purchase some from your favorite craft store. I don’t have time to make my own so I bought some!
Paper napkins: Find napkins that you love. I bought mine from Oriental Trading Company and Etsy. But I’m sure you can find some at any store.

White acrylic paint: You only need to paint the eggs if you are using light colored napkins.
Mod Podge: I used regular matte mod podge but you could use the glossy one if you want.
Scissors: A simple pair of scissors will do.
Paintbrush: I prefer a nylon bristled brush because it is easier to clean.
Poster Tack: I used this yo hang these little guys over my mantel.

How to make Decoupage Easter eggs
Watch my YouTube video tutorial on how to make these cuties!
What do you think? I LOVE them. For the egg with the little rabbit on it, I actually printed on a piece of napkin. I didn’t even think you could do it so I thought I would attempt it and it works! Let me know if anyone is interested in a tutorial on how to print on a napkin and I’ll make a video tutorial. The rabbit is from an artist that has her work on Pixabay.com for free.

Here are some non-candy ideas for this Easter. Happy Easter!!!!
