Spray paint, on the other hand, can be used for any material and is also offered in a wide variety of colors. You also have the choice between mats and shiny or even glittering colors.

Start painting different patterns on the eggs with the help of the hot glue. If you paint the Easter eggs in this way, the imagination can be left free, because all motifs and patterns are allowed. Point patterns, wave lines or even words are suitable. These give the eggs an interesting 3D effect that is special about this Easter egg decoration and design.

Techniques for additional decoration

If this variant is too simple for you, on the one hand you can choose a different color and use additional decorations on the other hand to make beautiful 3D Easter eggs. Glitzer is very popular for the design of Easter eggs and, for example, can be used. You have to be quick for this. The glitter is spread on the hot glue as long as it is still soft so that it remains gluing. Furthermore, you should keep in mind that the egg in this case is sprayed or painted and only then designed with the hot glue and glitter. Otherwise you would spray the glitter with the color. However, if you want to decorate the Easter eggs with elements such as glitter stones, ligaments or the like, you can do this at the very end. They also use the hot glue conveniently.

In the example above you can see different variants with additional decoration. In the first picture, the egg was first designed with glitter. The three strips of color were then delimited from each other with the help of hot glue. The Easter eggs next to it was only designed in color and painted with hot glue, on which either glitter or sequins were either sprinkled. As you can see, a wide variety of techniques are possible. Just try several and like to come up with others when you paint and decorate the Easter eggs.

If the egg is too hot, the wax rushes and the pattern or motif does not look nice anymore. You can handle all of this with a hot glue gun and still paint and color the eggs as usual Easter eggs.

In principle, they use them exactly as they would use the wax. You must first paint the future Easter eggs again. Paint any pattern, motifs or words on the eggs. White eggs are best suited for coloring. If necessary, you can also use browns. Wait until the glue gets stuck and dip the eggs in any color. As soon as you have removed it and the color has dried, you can remove the hot glue. You can now leave the Easter egg like this or immerse yourself in another color so that the pattern is also colored. Finally, we recommend rubbing the eggs with the help of a small piece of fabric and a little oil. Then they shine nicely.
