Golden Egg Hunt Tablescape & A Natural Textured Egg DIY

April 14, 2014 · 4 Comments

Garden Golden Egg Hunt Inspiration Easter egg hunts weren’t really a tradition in my family, but I know they can be quite fun having seen a few in college. So I wanted to recreate my own egg hunt with a playful centerpiece.IMG_1483

I hid eggs, big and small throughout, which makes looking at the centerpiece like an egg hunt itself. “The Golden Egg” beautifully displayed beneath glass, and a second placed within another centerpiece in the living room. Three plastic eggs, which I left untouched because I thought the peach-orange color would pop amongst pink roses, simply put into a white pitcher, I’ve been waiting to finally use. This garden egg hunt inspired centerpiece makes me smile, maybe it’s because nothing makes me happier than working with beautiful blooms such as these or because it really is like having a piece of Spring indoors.

If you’re anything like me, you save anything if it has the potential to become decor. I’ve been really into different textures, and wanted to see how this DIY would turn out on plastic instead, see below for the steps on creating your own eggs.

Natural Textured Eggs
You’ll Need

– Plastic Eggs

– White All-purpose craft paint

– Joint Compound {Home Depot has a good selection}

– Craft Paint in tan color

– Paint brushes {use an older brush for the joint compound}

– Craft paper

– Mod Podge, Loose Glitter, Glitter Paint, Black Paint {and anything else you’d like to decorate your eggs with}

Directions

Paint the eggs with two coats of the white craft paint, allowing to dry between coats. In a plastic bowl, mix the joint compound with water until it resembles greek yogurt. Stir in craft paint until the desired shade of color {it will dry slightly lighter}. Lay painted eggs onto craft paper, or in a bowl to prevent from rolling, and allow to dry completely before painting a second thick coat, dry completely {preferably overnight}.

To make a speckled looking egg, with a small paint brush create random spots in different shapes and directions. Use a toothpick to make spots trickle into thinner shapes. To make Golden Egg, brush a layer of mod podge, then place into a bowl filled with gold loose glitter, coat completely and allow to dry.

    […] Seriously, can Pinterest stop being so addictive! There’s just way too many beautiful breathtaking images and inspiration being shared that I can’t keep up. I want to surround myself with all these lovely things, have experiences with these products, share them with loved ones and immerse myself with all this creativity. I  think I’ll give myself a little break from the virtual creative world, and live it out on my own, or perhaps I just need to travel to the ends of Bali, and immerse myself with peaceful beautiful nature.A simple easy and bright way to display flowers for Easter, then save up all those eggs for plenty of brunch dishes. {For more Easter decor inspiration, see here} […]

I’ve never been one to connect with the color pu I’ve never been one to connect with the color purple much, & yes I believe everyone connects to colors in certain ways. And yet, Clematis are some of my favorite flowers🌿

For a brief few Spring days each year, the garden is a vision of purples....deep rich violets that almost look black, their sheen like velvet, delicate lavenders & pretty mauves that flutter in the breeze. Nature is a true delight for the soul🤍

They’re calling for a too hot, too soon kind of weekend, but we’ll be surrounded w. love celebrating a special wedding at a lovely location! Hope this weekend brings you moments of rest & joy, that allow you to look at all that is blooming🌱…
tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
