Faux Sugar Egg Easter Decor

As a child, my favorite Easter craft was diorama eggs.  I loved paper mache and each year I would make my own paper mache egg that I would fill with little toy chicks and plastic eggs.  I decided to make a grown up version this year, and styled my paper mache egg to look like a sugar egg.  Thanks to Mod Podge’s Collage Clay, it’s easy to recreate the look of sugar and icing without the calories (or the sugar ants!)

Supplies needed to make your own faux sugar egg:

• 4 inch Paper Mache Egg
• Wooden Egg Stand
• Chalky Finish Paint (white, pink, light green, etc.)
• Mod Podge Collage Clay
• Flocked Rabbits
• Green Festive Yarn or Paper Shred
• Miniature Baskets
• Hot Glue

Step one. Paint the paper mache eggs and wooden stands.  Hot glue the egg to a stand.

Step two. Trace a circle or oval onto the painted egg and cut out the shape with a sharp X-Acto knife. The inside of the paper mache egg is plastic so be careful while cutting.

Step three. Use Mod Podge Collage Clay to embellish the egg.  You use it the same way you use an icing bag.  Choose a tip (each box comes with 3 tips) and pipe the clay onto the egg.

Step four. Once the collage clay has hardened, decorate the inside of your sugar egg. Fill the egg with yarn, bunnies, and baskets.

You could also fill the eggs with chicks, Easter eggs, or anything else you like.  Maybe even put a battery operated tea light inside and light it up!  Have fun crafting and creating!
