Do-It-Yourself Paint Sample Egg Garland

Easter is so much fun to decorate for, its like bringing Spring inside!  Here is one of our favorite Pinterest crafts found on ThrivingHomeBlog.com to help you put some Spring in your celebration!

     This craft requires cardboard or thick cardstock, paint samples, scissors, hole punch, and ribbon.  Large paint samples will give your eggs more options on color patterns.  (Another cute take on this craft is to use Easter or Spring themed scrapbook paper, craft paper, or card stock.)

     Using he cardboard, or thick card stock, creat an egg shaped tempate.  Then, use the template to outline an egg shape as desired on your paint samples.  Then, use patience to cut out as many eggs as you want/need for desired length of garland.

     Punch two holes at the top of each egg to weave your ribbon through.  "Line the eggs up in the pattern you would like, (ombre, rainbow, random, etc.) and weave your ribbon through.

The best part of this project is that it is a great craft for kids as well and to do as a family!
