Paint Scrape Easter Egg Craft
Are you ready for some Easter fun? This Paint Scrape Easter Egg Craft is such a great way to get creative and play with paint in a different way. It can get a little messy, though, as only the best paint crafts do. So I would definitely suggest taking that into consideration.
We used a piece of a shipping box from our last cardboard craft, which happened to be Cardboard Yarn Wrapped Flowers, to scrape the paint on our Easter eggs. We then wiped the paint off after each scrape. You could also use multiple pieces of the box for less mess. And for the egg shape, we used our Free Printable Easter Egg Template from our Tape Resist Easter Egg Craft.

To make our painted Easter eggs you will first need our egg template.
The rest of the supplies include rectangle strips of cardboard, white cardstock, acrylic paint in an assortment of colors, markers, and scissors.

Easter Eggs Scrape Painting Step by Step Directions
Begin by gathering your cardboard. Make sure it’s easy to grip and the side when standing up sits flat. You will also want to make sure your table is protected, and you’ll need paper towels to wipe the paint from the cardboard.
Now, squeeze drops of paint along the side of a sheet of white cardstock. Use whatever colors in whatever pattern you’d like.
Then use the piece of cardboard to scrape the paint from one side of the cardstock to the other.
Wipe the paint off the cardboard after each pass.
Make more eggs in different colors and patterns. It’s addicting!
Let all the paint dry completely.
When the paint is completely dry, print the egg template. Trace the egg onto the painted cardstock.
Cut out the egg.
Now, the eggs are beautiful as is. However, we took our eggs a step further and continued to decorate them with markers.
Such a fun Easter egg craft! We hope you get creative with this one, too!
