Decoupage Eggs
The time has come once again to decide what kind of eggs will be decorating this year’s Easter table.
Decorating Easter eggs is a tradition for many families today, but it’s a custom that originated a far back as the 13th century.
And after last year’s pastel eggs, this year something just a bit more DIY. And it’s not even complicated!
The word découpage comes from the French verb découper, "to cut out". We are actually just cutting out pieces of napkins which we are then applying onto white eggs and gluing them with a natural ingredient - egg white.
And how are you with your arts and crafts?
If you don’t have white eggs at hand, don’t worry. You can safely whiten them at your own home by just boiling them in a 50-50 ratio of water and vinegar. Once the eggs are boiled, scrub them with a clean dish sponge and rinse.
Once you boil your eggs, leave them to cool down and dry.
Separate the top layer of the napkins from the rest and cut little motifs of the napkins or cut them into smaller patches, then place one by one on the egg, brushing every napkin piece over with an egg white.
Leave the eggs to dry overnight at room temperature.
