DIY Strawberry Easter Eggs (Style Me Pretty Living)

These little cuties are the definition of sweet! Using not much more than egg dye, paper, a touch of glue and your own imagination, empty egg shells are transformed into summer’s favorite fruit. Use them to top gifts, tuck into your little one’s Easter basket, or create a beautiful tables cape that looks good enough to eat! Read on to see how in our simple guide below.

Hard boil or blow out to prepare eggs for dyeing, whichever you prefer.

Dye eggs red using Paas dye, vinegar, and water.

While eggs are dyeing, make a drying rack with the foam core and pins.

Place the dyed eggs on the drying rack and let dry.

Dot the eggs with the black paint pen to make strawberry seeds.

Print out the strawberry greens template and cut out each shape. Trace the star templates onto tissue paper and cut out. You’ll need 1 of each color for each egg. Save time by folding the tissue paper into as many layers as you need, then cut once!

Trace the stem template onto green cardstock and the flower templates onto the white cardstock, then cut out. Cut out small dots from the yellow cardstock. Fold up the petals of the flowers and glue a yellow dot inside each flower. Glue the flowers onto the stem.

Glue the tissue paper tops onto the rounded end of each egg. Roll a small piece of green cardstock paper to make the stem and glue onto the top of each egg.

Group the eggs into a dish and tuck in the greens. You can also glue the egg tops to the greens for a more “authentic” look.
