Decorating Easter Eggs With Dixie Belle Paint & Redesign With Prima Decor Transfers

March 15, 2022

I purchased this package of dyeable Easter eggs at Target for $3.

I found these larger paper mache eggs at Hobby Lobby. (They are 40% off)

I painted the smaller eggs with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Drop Cloth, Farmhouse Green, Soft Pink, and Burlap.

I brushed on two coats.

I painted three eggs in each paint color.

I purchased this page of small rub on transfers late last fall at Maikas Daughters.

The transfers fit the eggs very well for the most part. I added more than one transfer to a few of them.

I then waxed the eggs with Dixie Belle Best Dang Wax in Clear.

Here are my small eggs!

I stuffed this bucket, (with an old transfer from Iron Orchid Designs), with plastic grocery bags and then laid Hobby Lobby Moss on top of the bags.

After painting the large paper mache eggs with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Drop Cloth, I chose to add three of my Redesign With Prima Classic Vintage Labels transfers to the eggs.

This process was a little more challenging. The transfer didn't lay flat on the rounded surface, but I rubbed down a little at a time and smoothed the clear sheet down as I went. Two of them turned out very well but one had a slight imperfection.

I also waxed these eggs with Best Dang Wax.
