Grab a few craft supplies and make these floral Easter eggs. Sharing 2 easy techniques to decorate pretty pastel eggs this spring.
Grab some silk flowers and fabric tape – It’s time to decorate pretty pastel Easter eggs!
Easter is fast approaching. It’s time to decorate eggs. My kids picked out a dye kit at the craft store already, but I always enjoy decorating eggs on my own as well.
Plain white eggs are such a fantastic blank canvas to get creative with!
Sometimes I think that the options for creatively decorating Easter eggs have been exhausted. Like, how many different things can you do with such a tiny object?
So these two craft projects were a bit of a crafting challenge for me. I wanted something beautiful, original, and easy to make.
I went to the craft store with Easter eggs on my mind, but no real plan. I left with silk flowers and a roll of various pretty spring fabrics… that I later turned in to fabric tape.
I was ready to get crafting!
Here are the two Easter egg decorating techniques that I came up with:
1 – Floral Easter Eggs with Silk Flowers
The idea here is simple: just wrap a plain white egg in flower petals.
Floral Easter Eggs
Use silk flower petals to make pretty floral Easter eggs and decorate for spring.
Materials
- silk flowers
- plastic eggs
- hot glue gun and hot glue
Instructions
- Disassemble the silk flowers. Separate and stack the petals.
- Using small dabs of hot glue, attach each petal to the plastic eggs. Layer the petals so that the innermost petals are higher up on the sides of the egg and outermost petals are lower.
- Hot glue the green flower base or some leaves to the bottom of the egg.

2 – Decorating Easter Eggs with Fabric Tape
This project was inspired by a fall craft I made a few years ago – fabric tape mini pumpkins. For this project, I made my own fabric tape. It’s so easy to do, and I love being able to pick pretty fabric patterns to use.
Fabric Tape Easter Eggs
Decorate Easter eggs with pretty floral fabric tape for a beautiful spring craft.
Materials
- plastic Easter eggs
- fabric tape
- nonstick scissors
Instructions
- Cut strips of fabric tape - about the length from top to bottom of an egg. Always cut the tape at a 45-degree angle.
- Smooth the strips of fabric tape lengthwise onto the plastic egg, leaving a gap between each piece of tape.
- Fill in the gaps with smaller cuts of tape. Smooth down.
