Glitter Eggs

For quite a few years now, my family decorates pumpkins each year with glitter. It’s an easy we first saw on the Martha Stewart Show and liked it so much that we do it every year now. So when I saw that she also had an idea to do the same thing with Easter eggs, I was intrigued to say the least!

There’s one thing I don’t like about Martha’s idea in this case (although I usually love everything she comes up with) and that’s that she likes to do these eggs by making them hollow. In other words, blowing out the centers so that the insides come out.

Time consuming!

So to make this idea more efficient, I tried this concept with plastic eggs. You know those cheapie eggs you can get at the dollar or hobby store? I doused these eggs with ModgePodge type craft glue and then the glitter. The glue did not do too well in sticking to the eggs. I went back to the dollar store and found some eggs that were more cloth-like. They had a design on them, but who cares? I was going to cover over it anyways.

This time, it worked great. Messy though. Put the eggs in a plastic box that you will throw away when you’re done with the project. Then you can pour the glue, sprinkle the glitter, and not worry about making a mess.

I have to say, I absolutely hate decorating Easter eggs. I may be the only one on the planet that does. Somehow holding the eggs in dye and then just sitting there…. well, I always feel like I have better things to do.

But in the last few years I’ve noticed some really fun ways to decorate them. For example, if you like photographs, this idea is a great way to display your pictures, decorate your eggs, and personalize your table. Just print off your best photos on “white water-slide inkjet sheets,” which you can get from decalpaper.com. What a cute way to display favorite photographs! Think of how much fun your family will have looking through these as you eat your Easter dinner.

While reading Shai’s blog I came across a fun entry; 65 Floral Inspirations. So far this spring I’ve written a bit about the season; on the first day of spring I was inspired. I wrote about sensing spring and even spring weddings, since hubby and I just celebrated 22 years together.

I’ve said before that I love spring, even though the last week has been more like summer. I hope you check out the list of spring things to do on Shai’s blog. Perhaps you will be inspired to create something or just feel the need to write in your journal about the season.

I hope you enjoy this journal prompt. Please leave any comments in the section below.
