A CREATIVE EASTER HOLIDAY

Bring Easter into your home with our Do-It-Yourself project to create a unique decoration full of colour!
Surprise your guests by creating your own Easter eggs and add a creative touch to your table.
So grab your equipment and give free rein to your imagination to transform simple eggs into original decorations.

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?


• Hard-boiled eggs
• A pencil
• A box of 12 tubes of Gouache Studio paint
• Fine paint brushes
• A glass of water to clean the brushes
• Kitchen roll
• A palette to mix the colours (optional)
• A spray-on fixative (optional, to protect the finished eggs)

FOLLOW THE STEPS


STEP 1 - PREPARING THE EQUIPMENT


First prepare your eggs by boiling them or buying them pre-boiled and ready to decorate.
If you intend to paint hard boiled eggs, make sure you leave them to cool completely before starting to decorate them.
Get all your equipment together and prepare your table.

STEP 2 - CHOOSING PATTERNS


Before starting to paint, take the time to think about the different patterns you want to create on your eggs.
Feel free to find inspiration on Pinterest, for example. You can opt to draw traditional Easter motifs, such as flowers, or to create more abstract or geometric shapes.

STEP 3 - CREATING YOUR COLOUR PALETTE


Choose the colours you want to use.
Feel free to mix colours to obtain the different shades you want to use.

STEP 4 - APPLYING THE COLOURS


Once you have chosen your pattern, start applying the colours that you have already mixed on your palette. Use a fine brush to produce precise lines on the surface of the egg.

STEP 5 (OPTIONAL) - FINISHING AND PROTECTION


Once completed, leave the eggs to dry completely.
If you want, you can apply a spray-on fixative to protect your work and give it a shiny appearance.
Once everything is dry, place your eggs in an attractive basket or on a tray to lend your Easter table a creative touch. It’s sure to impress your guests!

We’d be delighted to see the result of your creativity! Feel free to share them on the social networks using our hashtag #Carandache and mentioning @carandache.
