Design no. 1 – Ruffled Easter Egg

Step 1: To begin, print the Easter egg template on a piece of board paper. Cut each egg as it will be the body of the paper craft.

Step 2: Cut 1-inch strips of crepe paper because this will be your decorating material. To make it alive and cute looking, I chose the bright colors pink, yellow and orange but you can change it to your liking.

Step 3: Add a thin layer of glue onto the egg, then grab a piece crepe paper and carefully create a ruffle pattern by overlapping it on each other. Continue until the egg is completely filled. Alternate the colors to create a beautiful ruffle effect.

Step 4: Once completed, flip the Easter egg and crop the excess.

Design no. 2 – Crumpled Easter Egg

Step 1: Gather more strips of crepe paper and crumple them one by one. Doing this will create a crumpled effect to the crepe paper which we want to achieve.

Step 2: Add a thin layer of glue onto the egg and add the crumpled crepe paper one by one. Add the colors alternately for a beautiful pattern.

Step 3: Once again, flip the egg and crop the excess crepe paper to reveal the Easter egg.

Design no. 3 – Festive Easter Egg

Step 1: Cut an inch of crepe paper, then carefully cut small strips to make fringes. The fringes look like a piñata décor which makes the egg look like a festive decoration.

Step 2: Carefully peel the crepe paper and glue them to the cutout Easter egg shape.

Step 3: Fill the Easter egg with enough fringes and once done, trim off the excess.
