Floral Easter Eggs

Are you looking for a grown up way to decorate Easter eggs that make classy and beautiful eggs? Look no further! These floral Easter eggs are super adorable and the perfect adult Easter craft!

Hey guys! I did not decorate too much for Easter around here this year but I did put together a simple mantel with some fun floral Easter eggs. Since Easter is drawing near, I figured I better get to sharing them with y’all! I will be sharing the flower eggs with you today and will share the mantel soon.

These floral sequin eggs were inspired by some Cherry blossom eggs that I saw on Pinterest however I wanted to make them to coordinate with the colors on my mantel. I found some more bold colored flower sequins at Michaels which worked well for what I was going for. They were a little bigger in size than I wanted initially but I think they turned out beautiful.

Cherry Blossom Easter Eggs

I also made a couple Cherry Blossom eggs too since I got some smaller pink flower sequins as well. They are really pretty too! I like them both and could see making more of these in the future when I have some light pink Easter decor.

These flower eggs are worth making

In full transparency, this flower egg craft is not one for the crafting weak of heart. It did take a little while to make an egg, I believe each egg took about 40 minutes from start to finish. That is also after practicing a couple times already. But don’t worry, I will give you some tips to make your eggs go along more smoothly!

After all is said and done, I believe they are definitely worth making! They are so elegant and delicate, plus they will be something that you can use year after year for Easter and Spring decorating. You can make them with any colored flower sequins as well so if these colors don’t float your boat, no worries!

How to make floral Easter eggs

The first step in making these sequin flower eggs is to wrap the eggs in some fine natural colored yarn. The nice thing about these crafting eggs are that they are already white so no color will show through your wrapped eggs. Also, even though they are plastic, they almost have a paper feel to them so they are not as slippery as the cheap colored plastic eggs that we are all used to. The Mod Podge actually adheres to these eggs where it does not on the slippery colored plastic eggs. However, I also used hot glue in some parts as that secured it better, as you will see.

To prepare for the steps ahead, pour some Mod Podge onto a paper plate and get a flat paint brush to use to apply the glue. Set this to the side for now.

To start your wrapping, add a dab of hot glue on the bottom (wider end) of your egg. The hot glue will hold the end of the yarn in place better to start your wrapping. Pull the end of the yarn from the middle of the skein and lay the end of the yarn into the hot glue and press it down.

Start wrapping the yarn around the center making a spiral, pressing it into the hot glue as you go. If you have a hard time doing this with your fingers, you can hold the end down with tweezers and wrap the yarn around the tweezers to start your spiral.

Apply Mod Podge to the egg

Now that you have the yarn started, grab your Mod Podge and apply a generous amount around the egg right below the yarn going down about 1/2 inch. Next, wrap the yarn around the egg, continually pressing it down onto the egg as you go. The longer the glue sits, the more tacky it will get, however you don’t want to let it sit too long as it will dry out.

Add some more glue under the yarn again and repeat.

As you get towards the middle of the egg, you will be able to just turn the egg and the yarn coming out of the skein will wrap itself around the egg. This is the easiest part of the wrapping. You can do this until you get to the point where the egg starts tapering down on the smaller end.

Use hot glue for the tip of the egg

Once you hit that point, you will want to use hot glue again. I tried using Mod Podge and the yarn just kept slipping off. When working with the hot glue, the key is to not add to much at once, work in smaller sections and make it a thin layer by spreading it around with the tip of the glue gun. This way you do not have hot glue all over your finished egg. Keep the hot glue close to the previous layer of yarn and spread it along about half the egg at a time.

When working with the end of the egg, instead of wrapping the yarn, you will be basically pressing the yarn into the hot glue above the previous layer. Make sure to keep the layers close together so you don’t get gaps in the wrapping.

When you get to the top of the egg, cut off the end of the yarn leaving enough to finish the top. Add some hot glue into the end and press down the tip of the yarn. It will give a nice finished look to the top of the egg.

Add some branches to your floral Easter egg

Next up, we will need to add the branches on the egg. Using a fine tip marker, start drawing some branches on one side of the egg. I just winged this, they do not have to be perfect, just like branches are not in nature. Once you are done with one side, turn the egg over to draw some on the other side.

To paint the branches, I used some nutmeg brown acrylic paint and some metallic gold for highlights. Use a very fine, thin tip paintbrush to paint on the branches.

Just follow along your drawn lines with the brown paint first, then when that is dry add some highlights with the gold.

Add the flower sequins to the eggs

The finishing step to these flower eggs is to add the individual flower sequins to the branches. I found out that it is much easier, and looks much better, when I used tweezers to apply the flowers. Add a small dab of hot glue to the back of the flower and then lightly press it down onto the egg. Most of the time I applied the flowers at the end of the branches, but sometimes would leave the end empty and put them in the middle of the branch. Just do what you think looks best. I also tried to separate the colors so I did not have two of the same colored flowers right next to each other.

Using the tweezers, I was able to be more precise and not get hot glue everywhere. You can see in the video where I started by using my fingers but I soon had hot glue on the flowers. Doing it with tweezers also left the center of the flower with some glue poking out just a bit which I think resembles the pistil of a flower.
