Stylish Easter Eggs Made From Plaster of Paris #EasterPreview

by Amy D

Plaster of Paris is poured into hollow egg shells to create simple egg forms that can be decorated in tune with the Easter season.

Simple yet stunning Easter eggs

Once the egg forms are completely dry, a single bird feather adds the crowning touch or the outer shell can be embellished with tissue paper, which was lightly sanded to smooth out any rough edges of the tissue paper once it was dried. Diluted Elmer's glue is used for the adhesive; a light coat of wax could be used at the end to seal the surface. A bit of dried floral grass and a collection of silver vases and candlesticks for holders provides a vintage inspired table centerpiece.

Trying to find the tutorial, but I must be missing the link on the how to. Could you tell me where to find this - I LOVE the eggs and plaster of Paris idea.

Thank you Amy. I went to the link that is now there, but maybe I misunderstood the beginning concept-did you make the plaster eggs or buy them? If you made them, is there a tutorial on how you did that? They are all of them really beautiful but the feathers are intriguing.
