I have always loved the look of gold leaf, specially how it looked on Easter eggs. This project requires little materials and so fun to make.
Materials Needed:
– Gold Leaf Metal (I purchased these at Hobby Lobby for $7.99 minus a 40% Coupon)
– Eggs (Boiled or Empty Shell)
– Food Coloring
– A Cup of water
– 1 Teaspoon of Vinegar
– School Glue
– Brush
Dye your egg in your color of choice for no more than 5 minutes depending on how dark you want them.
Add a thin layer of glue all around the egg. Then carefully, take one sheet of gold leaf and wrap around the egg.
Remove gold leaf excess with your fingertips to smooth out surface, leaving some cracks open.
And there you go, a perfect golden egg! Perfect to decorate a centerpiece or mantel.
this is fantastic! so stinking adorable!! What an easy and adorable idea. definitely going to have to make these.
These are so pretty!! Doesn’t look too hard to do either.

These are fabulous! I saw them on Pinterest and am definitely wanting to try them. I gold leafed a dome in my ceiling in the living room and it was so easy. Glad to get a chance to make something else gold leafed!
