Easy Mod Podge Fruit Easter Eggs — Step-by-Step Cherry, Strawberry & Blueberry Designs
Looking to add a creative twist to your Easter decorations? Try making Mod Podge Fruit Easter Eggs — a colorful, easy decoupage craft that turns dyed eggs into playful fruit designs. Using tissue paper and Mod Podge you can create cherries, strawberries, blueberries and more. This project is great for a family craft session and makes a cheerful display for the holiday.
Materials
- Dyed eggs
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Mod Podge
- Tissue paper
Step 1
Draw and cut out your fruit shapes from tissue paper. For cherries, cut small red circles; for strawberries, cut slightly larger heart-like shapes; for blueberries, use small blue circles.
Step 2
Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge onto the egg, place the tissue paper shape gently on the surface, then brush another thin coat of Mod Podge over the tissue to seal it. Smooth wrinkles carefully with the brush. Repeat to add more fruit shapes as desired.
Step 3
Cut small stems and leaves from green tissue paper and attach them in the same way, connecting pairs of cherries or topping strawberries. Continue building each fruit design by layering tissue pieces and sealing with Mod Podge.
Step 4
Repeat the process on other eggs using different colored tissue paper to make a variety of fruits. In this project we made cherries, blueberries and strawberries — peaches, apples and bananas would also work with different shapes and colors.
Finishing tips: allow the Mod Podge to dry fully between layers and handle the eggs gently until the finish is set. Display your fruit eggs in a bowl, nest or as part of a centerpiece for a cheerful seasonal touch.
