How to Make Homemade Glitter Easter Eggs

Creating these beautiful Glitter Easter Eggs was pretty simple actually.  In preparation, I got out my very handy Martha Stewart Glitter Trays that my sister gave me as a Christmas present, a paintbrush, Mod Podge, a plastic spoon, glitter, and a plastic Easter egg in the same color family as the glitter I was using. First, I covered one-half of the plastic Easter Egg in Mod Podge.  Then, using the plastic spoon, a covered the Mod Podge coated area of the egg with glitter. The glitter that doesn’t stick to the Mod Podge will fall right off, ready to be used again. Once the bottom half was completely covered in glitter, I let the egg dry for about 10-15 minutes. When the glittered area was dry to the touch, I carefully painted Mod Podge onto the second half of the egg and finished covering the whole thing with glitter. After the Mod Podge has dried, the glitter seems more translucent and sparkly.

Here are all the colors that I used.  It took me about an hour to decorate one dozen eggs. These Glitter Easter Eggs would look fabulous sitting in an Easter Basket as an Easter Brunch table centerpiece. The glitter is delicate and would come off easily in an Easter Egg hunt for example but they are sturdy enough to use in decorations. You can spray the eggs with hairspray or a clear coat crafting spray and that will help a little bit.
