Crafts for Easter: Easter eggs with silhouette

To make such crafts for Easter we will need the following tools and materials:

• 
  wooden eggs of different sizes
• 
  universal primer
• 
  acrylic paints
• 
  silhouettes for translation on an egg
• 
  carbon paper
• 
  scissors
• 
  cutting board
• 
  marker
• 
  sticky paper
• 
  brushes of different sizes

First you need to cover the egg with a primer. In principle, instead of a wooden egg, you can take an ordinary chicken egg to make an Easter craft. But in this case, you must first make two holes in it, blow out the yolk and protein through them and work with the rest of the shell.

So, cover the workpiece with a primer a future craft for the Passover - a wooden egg or an empty egg shell. Primer is needed in order for the paint layer to lie flat. Allow the primer to dry for a few minutes.

While the primer dries, translate the silhouettes onto sticky paper through a carbon paper. Ready-made silhouettes can be found on the Internet, butif you can draw, you can depict them immediately on sticky paper. When you copy or draw silhouettes, carefully cut them out using sharp scissors.

Apply on egg first coat of paint - this will be the color of the silhouettes. For example, if you want the silhouettes to be pink on a blue background, the first coat of paint should be pink. Allow the paint to dry.

When the paint dries, gently glue the silhouette on the egg. It is very important to gently smooth the edges of the silhouette with your finger, so that they stick well - otherwise the paint will penetrate under the sticker, and the silhouette will be fuzzy.

Cover the egg second coat of paint (and silhouette, too). This will be the main color of the egg and the background for the silhouette. Allow the paint to dry, and then gently remove the glued-on silhouette. Easter egg is ready!

As silhouettes for Easter crafts can act not only drawings, but also letters or geometric patterns. If you want to do multicolored silhouettes, you just have to apply more layers of paint. For example, you want the egg to have two patterns: red and green on a yellow background. Then first you need to cover the egg with green paint. After drying the paint, glue the desired silhouette and paint the egg with a red paint. When the paint dries, glue the second silhouette without peeling off the first, and paint the egg with yellow paint. When the last coat of paint has dried, unlock both silhouettes.
