INSTRUCTIONS

1. Gather some plastic or paper mache eggs to paint.
   
2. (TIP: I glued my eggs onto the bottoms of paint bottles with hot glue to have a make shift handle while I painted the surface!)
   
3. Paint some of your eggs solid Copper Extreme Sheen. Allow to dry.
   
4. Paint some of your eggs solid with Coral Blush Americana Acrylic. Allow to dry.
   
5. Paint some of your eggs solid with Cadmium Yellow Americana Acrylic. Allow to dry.
   
6. Paint some of your eggs solid with Desert Turquoise Americana Acrylic. Allow to dry.
   
7. Paint some of your eggs solid with Matcha Green Americana Acrylic. Allow to dry.
   
8. Use the provided patterns to plan out designs for your eggs. Draw on design with a white colored pencil. Some eggs can stay a solid color. Some eggs can be painted with a liner brush and the Copper Extreme Sheen. And the rest of the eggs can have a fun combination of the Cadmium Yellow, Matcha Green, Coral Blush, Desert Turquoise and the Eucalyptus Leaf paint colors.
   
9. Once all your designs are dry, pop off the egg from the glue. Touch up the bottom of each paint color and allow to dry.
   
10. Display your modern, fun Easter eggs this Spring with other colorful decor!
