Prepare* the surface. Depending on the type of surface you’re using, you may need do different things to prepare it: • clean • sand • paint *as necessary

Choose a decoupage glue. Decoupage glue comes in a variety of finishes: • glossy • satin • matte • antique • glitter • outdoor • fabric

Prepare paper/materials. Cut paper or materials to size. You can use larger sheets or strips of paper or cut out parts of the design. If you’re decoupaging with napkins, separate into layers first.

Affix paper to egg. Apply a thin layer of decoupage glue onto the egg’s surface. Then add the paper on top, gently smoothing out any air bubbles.

Apply a topcoat. Let the first layer of decoupage glue dry completely before applying a thin topcoat of Mod Podge or decoupage glue onto the paper. Repeat, as necessary

Seal, as needed. Once decoupaged eggs have dried, seal with an acrylic spray. A sealer adds protection and durability.

So many beautiful ways to decoupage Easter eggs!
