Painted Easter Eggs

I bought some wooden easter eggs during a sale at Joann Fabric's online site. Of course, this sale occurred after easter, so my eggs will be waiting almost a year to be displayed in our house. We don't even really do easter. I never had an easter basket as a kid, never did the easter dress thing, never did the egg hunt... And, to be honest, I'll never desire participation in most of the traditional easter rituals. So, this is one of the holidays for which I have the fewest decorations.

I love spring, though. And I love a pile of brightly painted eggs. So, I painted me some.

And I used some varnish to seal them afterward.

I used a glue gun to lay down circle stands where the eggs could sit as they dried. This worked moderately well. The glue circles should be sized appropriately to your egg size. And taller than mine were to truly hold the egg. They did work. But I'd more carefully plan their measurements next time.

I do love my eggs, though. Bright and cheery and springy. Just what they should be.
