Tutorial: Love Letter Script Writing on Easter Eggs

1. Optional: paint your eggs. I started with plastic eggs that were tan colored like real eggs, so I spray painted them white.  You could easily paint your eggs any pastel color you like.  I would probably stick with lighter colors so that your black script shows up well.  I tossed my eggs in a show box, and sprayed one side. Then when that side dried, I flipped them over and painted the other side. Just let the paint dry completely before adding the Sharpie.
2. Grab your Sharpie and brush up on your very best handwriting skills!
3. Select the words that you want to write.  I chose song lyrics from a favorite song.  Choose any words you like – a song, poem, inspirational quote, or even random words will do!
4. Gently write your words in your prettiest and smoothest cursive writing.  Then go thank your 3rd grade teacher.  You did need cursive after all!
5. I chose to write my script at an angle around the egg.  The lines just wrapped around until the egg was covered with words.
6. That’s it – too easy! Display your Sharpie eggs with your favorite Easter decorations.
