EASY DIY WOODEN EGGS

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR EASY DIY EASTER DECORATIONS?

I’M SHARING 3 CREATIVE AND ADORABLE IDEAS TO CREATE EASY DIY WOODEN EGGS.

HOW CUTE AS A NAPKIN HOLDER

Remember my scrap wood hearts? Well I still had some wood left. It’s tongue and groove flooring and I figured I could use it up and create my own Easter decor.

You could use pine or any other scrap wood, I wanted to show you different ways you could use the eggs.

I got this egg cookie cutter and my plan was/is to make sugar cookies for Easter.

When it arrived I thought it was the perfect size to make wooden eggs.

CREATING THE DIY WOODEN EGGS

I traced cookie cutter onto the wood and used my jigsaw to cut it out.

After I cut the eggs, I used this WEN sander to smooth out any rough edges or places where I didn’t cut it right along the line.

You just hold the piece against a metal tab and it does all the work for you. I love this sander.

Next was to decide how to decorate the eggs.

DECORATING THE WOODEN EGGS

I love neutrals and my table is going to be soft pinks and greys. Shocking I know.

I picked up this tablecloth from Target and I love it.

The first decor I made was a candle holder.

I painted the egg a soft pink and added polka dots.

Next I upcycled a lid from a Sand and Fog candle by painting it for a base.

I cut up a sheet of moss and glued that to the top, then added the egg.

Next I added a candle holder behind the egg. Then I added a little carrot.

A cute little table top piece. Imagine all the colors or combinations you could make to match your own table setting.

EASTER GARLAND

My next project with the eggs was to make a garland. For these I painted the eggs and sanded them a bit to give them a worn look. Stapled them onto rope and I was done! I love to use garlands for decor but I like them to match my own home.

You could paint these bright colors if you are a person who loves lots of color.

EASY DIY WOODEN EGG NAPKIN RING/HOLDER

My last idea was to use the eggs to hold napkins on the table.

This was so easy to do. I glued a piece of string to the back, folded the napkin and tied the string around so the egg was on top.

An idea to personalize this could include writing a name on the bottom and using as a placecard/napkin holder.

Here is a sample of other ways you could decorate your eggs if you are not a neutral lover like me!

I painted these to match these beautiful napkins I found at HomeGoods.

MORE EASTER EGG INSPIRATION

Easter is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for. Especially tablescapes. I love bunnies and decorate year round with them. Here is a link to a post with several tablescape ideas for Easter. This post is a must see, it’s got a coastal feel tablescape, one where I use a vintage quilt as a tablecloth and more!

    Regina, what a cute idea. I’m impressed by anyone who knows how to use a jigsaw. I love that you got three different projects out of one idea and one piece of wood. Can’t even choose which one I like best. They are all darling.
