Cactus Eggs
Super easy DIY, and these little cactus 'plants' will even carry over after Easter.
Ingredients
- 4 faux Easter eggs from my local Pier 1
- jars of blue, yellow and white acrylic paint from my local Michael's
- black paint marker from my local Michael's
- tube of craft glue from my local Michael's
- tiny faux paper flowers, 1 per egg from my local AC Moore
- 4 small clay pots from my local AC Moore
- bunch of faux dried moss I had on-hand
Instructions
- This is a picture of all the supplies I used for this DIY.
- Mix the blue, yellow and white paint to a color green that looks like a cactus color (my color was more yellow-green than blue-green).
- Paint the eggs until they are completely covered. I had to apply 4-5 coats until I got the coverage I wanted.
- Let the eggs dry completely.
- Using the black marker, make patterns of black marks on each egg, a different design for each. I googled faux cactus eggs for ideas.
- Apply a generous dot of craft glue on each flower and place one on the top of each egg.
- Stuff the clay pots with faux moss and create a small hole in the center so the eggs will sit in the pot without falling out.
- Add one egg to each pot.
