Step 1: Make Shapes

Use craft punches to cut shapes from vinyl tape to create stencils. Editor’s Tip: To align the tape when punching designs, hold the punch upside down so you can see where you are punching

Step 2: Stick on Stencils

Apply stencils to eggs and use fingers to burnish along the edges of each shape to ensure it’s tightly adhered.

Step 3: Paint Eggs

With a slightly dry brush, apply color wash to eggs, starting at the edges of stencils. Let dry and remove tape. Editor’s Tip: Create a color wash by mixing two parts of craft paint with one part of water.
