DIY CRAFTS Easter Chalk Paint Eggs

Chalk paint is something like obsession. Once you start painting, you can't stop; you just want to paint everything.
This year I decided to make some Easter decoration since our son, three and a half now, could participate more in the preparations. I wanted to make some eggs with black doodles and hang them on branches, but I didn't find white eggs. So, I decided to paint the brown I bought with white chalk paint, keeping also some of their appearance for a more natural result.
materials


eggs


needle, or thin hand drill


syringe


paintbrush


white chalk paint


step 1


This year I discovered a very easy way to empty the eggs. I made two holes, one small in the top and one larger in the bottom, using a thick needle. You can also use a thin hand drill. Then, I put in the small hole the syringe (without the needle) and pressed it to blow out the inside in a bowl.


step 2


I washed the inside with water. I cleaned up the outside with a wet cloth.


step 3


Paint the egg! Whether you paint your eggs all white (my son covered his own egg with all his white paint ... we had to wait one whole day to dry...), or you want to make patterns and motifs, there are several choices according to your taste and your free time.
step 4


When I finished the painting and let the eggs to dry, I made some hangers with natural twine. The "secret" is to make a large knob to fit in the hole. So, when I put the knob inside the egg hole, it couldn't go out. And, I hanged my new chalk paint eggs in the branches I had gathered and painted the previous day.
