INSIDE : Learn how to create simple DIY Metallic Gold Plastic Easter Eggs using spray paint and chalk markers! The finished result is trendy, fun and so easy.
Spring is officially here and Easter is on it’s way! Honestly, what a wonderful time of the year… although, I heard some of you are STILL getting snow and that just is plain wrong. Hopefully I can cheer you snow folks up with my pretty DIY Metallic Easter Eggs today!
A few weeks ago, I found a box in my closet and it was labeled, “Spring.” I opened up it and found all kinds of spring projects and plastic eggs from last year and a few random items that I never got around to using. These simple eggs were going to be transformed last year, but lucky me, I get to play with them this year!

WHAT SUPPLIES ARE NEEDED FOR GOLD PLASTIC EASTER EGGS?
White Plastic Eggs (Note : These are Non edible, since you are spray painting them)
Spray Paint (Vintage Copper
Fine Point Bistro Chalk Marker
First, be sure to work in a well ventilated area and give a nice coat of spray paint to each of the plastic eggs. I painted four eggs in each of my spray paint colors. They each took a few coats to get a nice even coverage.
After the eggs are fully dry, it’s time to do some decorating!
The good thing about using this Bistro Chalk marker is that it provides a nice clean matte colored line. And if you make a major whoops, you can just use a damp cloth and it will wipe right off.
I painted/drew four different designs on the eggs. One design was a small cross pattern, a horizontal stripes, fun polka dots and simple vertical stripes.
I kept trying to decide on a favorite pattern but I am not quite sure if I can! I loved how each of them turned out.
I am leaning towards the polka dots and horizontal stripes.

Hi there! VIsiting from the Inspiration^2 link party. These eggs are so beautiful! I love that you used different shades.
Oh my goodness! Now these are DARLING!
Aw, thanks so much Shannon!
Well, Amy, these are just way too cute! I love the color palette that you used, so chic! I think I need some metallic eggs now… 😉 Thanks for linking up with us at Best of the Nest!
Oh, thank you Jennifer! It’s not my typical Spring colors, but I sure love how these metallic eggs turned out! I’ll definitely be linking up again at your party.
These look adorable. Almost like Christmas ornaments
The color mix is great! And yes I have actually tried drawing on them before. I used permanent markers on blown out eggs. They turned out nice (not quite as cool as this). It is really the fixed palette that makes these great.
I love these! Thanks for linking up to the Creative Collection! I’m sharing these today on Facebook!
Wow, these are so cool!! Now you’ve got me wishing I wasn’t all done with my Easter decor, lol!! Pinning, for sure 🙂
Aw, thanks for the pin Cindy!
