DIY  How to Decoupage Eggs

Blue Willow Decoupage Eggs

Prettily printed paper napkins are the perfect material to decoupage onto delicate eggshells. The hardest part is choosing which napkin pattern to use from the endless varieties of decorative napkins available.

Materials Needed

  • Decorative paper napkins
  • Decoupage medium

Instructions

  1. Cut out the design elements from the decorative napkin you’ve chosen.
  2. Carefully peel apart the layers of the cut-out elements. Sometimes this process is a bit tricky, and it’s likely you’ll tear some of the elements. But don’t worry, since you bought a whole pack of napkins anyway. Set the top, colored layer to one side. Cut out more design elements than you think you’ll need for your project.
  3. Brush a thin coat of decoupage glue onto the area of the egg that you want to cover. Carefully position one of the design elements onto the egg. Use your clean fingertips to pat the napkin onto the egg.
  4. Continue adding design elements to the eggs. You may find it easier to allow a glued area to dry before adding more elements.
  5. When you like the appearance of an egg, let it dry completely. Coat the entire egg with a final coat of decoupage medium for protection.
