Are you looking for a personal gift idea? Why not give away a surprise egg you made yourself!

DIY surprise egg - just paint it - done!
For this handicraft idea you need a only large and some Polystyrene Egg color.

In our decoration example, we have painted the egg with Handicraft paint like an Easter bunny or Santa Claus and then glued on ears or a Christmas cap.

What is the best way to paint?

No matter whether you want to turn your Styrofoam egg into a Santa Claus, a reindeer or an egg gift - first sketch your idea on a sheet of paper. Use the Paper. Strich-Ex pen to paint your figure on the egg. This pen is Ink filled with a self-erasing one, so that the drawn contours disappear without a trace later. Paint the egg according to your personal imagination with Handicraft paint.

As soon as the paint has dried, the egg can be filled. To make the filling look even more noble, simply fix something inside with hot Straw silk paper glue and place your little things on it.
Design rabbit ears
It is best to paint your ears Paper beforehand and use them as a template to transfer them to the Felt egg. Transfer 2 times the right and 2 times the left ear. Cut them to size. Glue two ears on each other and put a piece of winding wire between them.

Now transfer the inner ear to the artificial fur band, cut it to size and stick it to the felt ears using hot glue.

Now put the finished rabbit ears into one half of an egg and fix them with hot glue.

Finally you can paint a papier-mâché carrot as decoration.
