Spring Decor DIY: Blue Willow Porcelain Easter Eggs

Spring Decor DIY: Blue Willow Porcelain Easter Eggs Pin Cover

Here is an easy Spring DIY for you! We love the final look of these Blue Willow Porcelain Easter Eggs in a bowl for display on a countertop or entry hall table, and they really take no time at all to make. 

Olivia will start by showing you how to paint the wooden eggs with off-white chalk paint. Once the eggs are dry, we'll use our IOD ink in the shade of China Blue, along with our IOD Antiquities stamps. We'll show you a tip for getting a good stamp impression on your rounded surface (remember this technique for future projects!) and how to add delicious texture using our Vintage Texture Stamps. 

We had Josie’s husband Aaron build us this wonderful board and nail contraption to dry our eggs after painting, and once we applied the resin, but hey, we know not everyone has an Aaron handy, but don’t sweat; there is a less labor-intensive solution that anyone can do! Combine toothpicks and styrofoam, and you’ll have yourself a nifty egg-drying rack. See the full concept on this blog by Wisdom of the Moon.  

Finishing with Resin: We really loved the finished look of the 48-hour cure resin because it really creates a pro look, especially since we were going for a porcelain finish in this project. BUT, if resin intimidates you, seal these with something else you’re comfortable with. Your stockist can recommend a product for this if you don’t already have a go-to sealer. 

If you get a build-up of resin at your dry spots, just hit those with some sanding paper to dial those back, and you’ll be good to go. Let us see your finals in the Facebook Creative Tribe!
