Salt Paint Easter Egg Paint Project

Salt Painted Easter Eggs supplies needed.

To make our salt painted Easter eggs you will need heavy white cardstock, watercolors, glue, and regular table salt. Few supplies, so many possibilities!

Easter Eggs Paint Project Step by Step Directions

To begin, gather your white cardstock. You can use as big a piece as you’d like, to make eggs as big as you’d like, but we used smaller card sized cardstock.

Make a glue design.

Now, draw an egg design on the cardstock. Don’t worry if you have some glops or if some of the lines run together, just try to make sure the lines are smooth. You may need to practice a line or two before starting your eggs.

Pour over the glue with regular table salt.

Once the egg is designed, pour a generous amount of regular table salt over all the glue.

Remove all excess glue.

Flick off all the excess salt. We save all the excess to use on other eggs.

Gently dab lines of glue with watercolors.

Then, gather your watercolors. Load your brush with paint and begin lightly touching the glue lines with the paintbrush.

Continue using watercolors to paint eggs until complete.

The colors will bleed and run together, making really pretty eggs.

When your egg is finished, all that’s left is to make sure it’s flat and while it dries completely.
