So this is my first attempt at making the plastic eggs look not so plastic...
Materials:
- Plastic Eggs (bought 18 for $1 at Dollar Tree)
- Tissue Paper (I tried both pastel and white, liked the white better.)
- Mod Podge
- Foam brush
- Parchment Paper
Here is how it was looking with the colored tissue paper:
Not the look I was going for... so I tried white tissue paper:
That is a bit better... (The parchment paper was used so I could complete the whole egg without waiting for part to dry... I could just lay the wet egg on the parchment and it didn't stick.)
Here is the group of eggs now:
Hmmmm.
Not quite the look I was going for, I'm not going to call these a "fail" - but I don't think they are done yet. I'm going to live with them for a couple of days to see if they grow on me. If not, I'll be working with them again over the weekend.
Cute ideas. You have such a Creative blog!!

I like them! But if you're still wondering what else to do, maybe you could either sprinkle them with glitter or spray them with clear shellac?
ReplyDeleteLove these!

ReplyDeleteI recognize a work-in-progress :), I made an egg I was overly happy with earlier this week. I'm sure you'll get the look you want.
