You know I love a good paper mache project! This one was no exception! Take plastic eggs and charm them up with colorful tissue paper!
Gather school glue, tissue paper and plastic Easter Eggs!
Spread you paper and make thin strips.
Dilute 1/4 cup of glue and 1/2 cup of water for your glue solution!
Because the tissue paper is so delicate you will want to roll your plastic egg into the glue solution to wet it and lay your strips of paper on the egg. Then dip your finger tips in the glue and smooth out the tissue paper! I recomend using the same color tissue paper as your egg.
Continue layering your strips of paper until it’s covered completely with a few layers of tissue paper.
Lay your eggs on a plastic trash bag to dry. After a few hours you’ll want to roll your eggs to make sure the bottoms can dry evenly. Let them dry over night to ensure that they are 100% dried!
The dried eggs dry smoother then they look while wet so don’t worry too much about small wrinkles! Now your eggs will last for years! Fun bright colored eggs just in time for Easter!
These are so cute. If you put a few beans in them before you wrap them they make great shaker toys for kids too.
How fun! They look like colorful paper mache eggs. Thanks for sharing!

I just made some of these last night! I do need to make my strips smaller, though! I still have a whole bag of eggs to go!
What a great idea. They are so cute.

I just did a whole blog post on tissue papering your walls/ceiling.

I didn't think of doing it on eggs! That's awesome!
So cute, Rebecca.
I knew I'd click on your blog to find something that would inspire me to break out my Easter stuff – - yes!
Too too cute!
I did this one year and it didn't turn out so well. I don't know how you can mess this project up, but I did. =)
I love your blog. My readers are here for an Easter egg hunt. I'm hiding a "Tissue Paper egg."
We'll be back to explore soon.
I so love this idea. I am not one that likes plastic eggs… My kids seem to think they are great for throwing and breaking. Maybe this would help. Thanks!!!

Great idea! I am excited to make a few of these myself. I am on Travelin' Oma's Easter Egg Hunt but I have been following you for awhile as well.
I love these – and prefer this method to dying.
Travelin'Oma sent us your way, and I'm glad she did! Nice blog.
I think this is one of my favorite "egg redo's" that I've seen this season!
Happy Easter!
