DIY Modern and Moody Easter Egg Garland

Turn cheap plastic Easter eggs into a gorgeous modern and moody egg garland for your Easter decor. Part of A Very Global Easter series.

Hi there. Welcome to day six of A Very Global Easter where Casa Watkins Living and I are sharing seven days of globally inspired Easter DIYs and decorating tips.  We are getting close to wrapping it up but have a couple of more to share with you.  Today our theme is garland and I’m excited to show you how I transformed cheap plastic Easter eggs into a pretty modern-moody egg garland.  Make sure to scroll down to see what my talented cohost did! 

How to Make Modern and Moody Egg Garland

same paint as DIY botanical eggs

This DIY is so easy!

• Start by spray painting plastic eggs with chalkboard spray paint similar to my botanical Easter eggs.
• Once they are dry,  use craft paint and gave each one two coats of a moody hue.
• Most of the plastic eggs already have a hole in each end.   This makes it super easy to thread thread fishing wire through the little holes to make an egg garland.

• Make sure to thread each end of the fishing wire with a button or bead and tie off a knot so the eggs don’t slip off!

I hung my Easter egg garland around our foyer vignette and added a gold bunny bank to complete the holiday decor. 

I love how the colors tie into our hallway art gallery.  This is the view right when you walk in the front door.

I was planning on doing a bit more but I’ve been fighting a cold this last week and am lacking my usual energy.  But I am planning on decorating for spring soon!

I hope you are enjoying the series as much as we are!  You can find all previous posts at A Very Global Easter page.    Now let’s go visit Casa Watkins Living and see her pretty  Spring Succulent Garland DIY!
