    Decorating Easter eggs – with metallic foil & chalk paint

    With metallic foil and chalk paint, old decorative eggs become elegant Easter eggs with a glamorous look. Simple & creative – perfect for your DIY Easter decorations with a wow effect.

    How to achieve the look

    Delete

    Paint the Easter eggs with the chalk paint. Depending on the surface, 1 to 2 coats are needed.

    Allow to dry well.

    Apply conditioning milk

    Apply size and let dry until the blue sheen disappears.

    Apply film

    Once the adhesive is transparent, the film can be applied. Cut the film to the desired size.

    Peel off the film

    Your metallic Easter eggs are ready!

    Done! With vibrant colors and shimmering metallic effects, simple Easter eggs turn into little works of art. No two eggs have to look the same – it is precisely the irregular patterns and unique color combinations that create the special look.

    Whether gold, silver, or copper on bright colors or something more subtle in tone-on-tone: This creates Easter decor that is guaranteed not to look like a traditional Easter.

    Tips & FAQs

    Make sure to apply the film evenly and without air bubbles. Press down with light pressure and peel off slowly to achieve an optimal result.

    Chalk paints are ideal as they create a matte, well-adhering surface. Alternatively, acrylic paints can also be used, although these should be completely dry before the metallic foil is applied.

    Yes, the technique also works with real eggs. However, make sure that the eggshell is clean, dry, and free of any residue. For a long-lasting result, we recommend using blown-out eggs, as these will not spoil.
