DIY Faux Sugar Decorative Eggs for Easter

Clay Crafts· Easter· Spring

Sugar Easter decorative eggs were one of my favorites gifts to receive as a child growing up in a small town in the midwest.
It not only meant a beautiful and delicate gift for me, but a trip into downtown Cincinnati with my grandmother.  Both were special treats.  I decided to make a fun and beautiful Easter craft – my own decorative eggs to place on display!  Granted these are not made of sugar, but they are created in a similar style.

Faux-sugar-Easter-decorative-eggs-Crafts-UnleashedSupplies needed to make your own faux sugar decorative eggs:

  • Paper Mache Eggs
  • Hobby Knife
  • Little Venice Cake Company Dual Tip Modeling Tools
  • Sculpey Polymer Clay 30 Piece Sampler
  • Mod Podge
  • Dazzle Tac
  • Tissue Paper
  • White Glitter
  • Paint Brush

Draw an opening on the egg. Using the hobby knife, carefully cut open the egg. Repeat for as many eggs as you are creating.

Easter Craft EggsBrush on a layer of Mod Podge. Tear tissue paper into small pieces and place a layer of tissue on the egg. Coat the exterior with Mod Podge – let dry between layers.

To add extra shimmer, dip the Mod Podge into glitter and brush on the egg. Note: when working with tissue paper and Mod Podge, make sure you pour the Mod Podge in a separate container, as the color from the tissue paper will bleed.

Mod Podge eggCover the entire decorative eggs with Mod Podge, tissue paper and glitter.  Allow the decorative eggs to dry completely before adding the clay pieces.

Mod Podged eggs with Tissue paperI used cake decorating tools to create the detailed work similar to that of real sugar eggs. I thought if they worked on sugar paste and fondant, they would be great with clay. I was very pleased with the results.

detail from toolsTo create the clay pieces:

Make sure you condition the clay according to the directions on the packaging.  I made basic shapes out of clay for the bases of the decorative eggs.  You can create any shapes, colors and techniques you would like for the bases – have fun playing around!

Clay componentsMaking all the components are not as difficult as they look.  They take a little time to make, but the results are well worth all the effort.

    These are so cute. We used to have them around when I was a child, I guess they must have broken. These are a great substitute! 😉
