How to Make Easter Egg Heads

Easter would not be the same without decorated Easter eggs. Most often, Easter eggs are decorated with food coloring and stickers, but you can get a bit more creative with your Easter eggs this year, and turn them into egg heads. You can use just about anything for these characters, from ribbon to buttons, to create people or animals and a whole new style of Easter egg decorations. Read on to learn more.

Things You'll Need

• White liquid glue
• Plastic "wiggle" eyes (multiple sizes)
• Hard-boiled eggs
• Craft supplies (ribbon, yarn, felt, pipe cleaner, glitter, tissue paper, felt pens)
• Painting supplies (squeeze-pen paints or puff paints are fast and easy)
• Cooling rack or film canister lids
• Tweezers

Instructions

1. Glue the eyes onto your egg head first, and build the character around the eyes. Place a small drop of glue onto the egg where you would like to position the eye, and press the plastic "wiggle" eye into the glue. Repeat with the other eye and allow the glue to set before starting your decorations.

2. Create any other decorations you may like to add to your Easter egg head while you are waiting for the eyes to dry. You might cut out a bow-tie or bunny ears from felt, create yarn hair tied with a ribbon or turn yellow pipe cleaners into chicken feet.

3. Add any decoration which requires glue, such as yarn hair, ribbons or bunny ears and set your egg head on a cooling rack or an old film canister lid for the glue to dry. You can also paint on hair and lips with puff paints or make rosy cheeks with water colors.

4. Allow the paint and glue to dry throughly before adding the final touches with a fine felt-tipped pen. You might add eyelashes or whiskers, or draw on glasses and a nose.

Tips & Warnings

• Decorate your Easter egg heads one side at a time, allowing the front of the head to dry completely before starting the back of the head.
