Hand Painted Robin Eggs Bird Nest Décor
These easy to make hand-painted robin eggs make for super cute springtime or Easter decor. This is a very fast craft project with most of the time coming in for drying of the eggs.
Hand Painted Robin Eggs Bird Nest Décor Notes:
● You can prime your eggs with a layer of spray paint for plastic if you like. You could also use wooden eggs and prime for a wood base. It doesn’t matter if the fake eggs are brown or white. You could use “chicken” eggs, but realize they will be larger than “robin” eggs. Do purchase plastic eggs that do not come apart for a more “realistic” look.
● While you do not have to, you may want to use a spray paint that claims it is better for plastics.
● While this is done in two shades of blue you can do any color of your choice. Some other great options would be pink, yellow, or green. While not exactly “robin” eggs in all those shades, they are very much great springtime egg colors (or Easter egg colors).
● While two different shades of blue were used for these eggs, you can do one shade or three or four shades! It is really up to you how you’d like your egg nest to look.
● You can hot glue your nesting to the bottom of your bowl if you like.
● You can make a ton of these eggs and place them into a tall vase. Whether you choose to have the moss and nesting at the bottom alone, or in layers as you add eggs to your tall clear vase, is up to you!
● For your glass bowl – check the dollar stores or Target. You could use an old terrarium bowl, or something from delivered flowers too!
