Paint lovely Easter eggs for hanging 09. March 2023

Choose paint in your desired colours and find a small bowl or glass for each colour. Pour a small amount of paint into each bowl and mix each paint with 2 tbsp decoupage glue and 1 tbsp water. Combine the mixture well, so that each paint has an even texture. "The paint should drip slightly from the brush when held above the bowl," Anna explains.

Poke a hook into the top of your egg by pinching the hook. You can choose to extend the hook with stem wire to ease the work with the egg.

Fill a bowl with coarse Himalayan salt.

Paint your egg in your desired colours and dip the egg into the salt immediately after and cover it completely. Let the egg dry. "You can use an empty egg tray for drying your eggs," Clara suggests.

When the paint is dry, you can rub off the salt, and the egg now has a lovely structured surface.

If you prefer an egg with a marble effect instead, you can achieve this by painting your egg in different colours and letting the egg dry from a branch or rack without rolling it in the salt. The marble effect develops as the paint runs down the egg, and if you are not happy with the result, you can always paint it over and try again. Remember to also cover the surface to protect it from the dripping paint.

When all of the eggs are dry, you can tie a ribbon onto the hooks and hang the eggs from branches or windows.
