Baking Soda Easter Eggs { Easter Ornaments }
Learn how to make Baking Soda Easter Eggs to decorate your home for Easter. These baking soda dough ornaments are faster to make than salt dough ornaments.
I’ve been wanting to make salt dough ornaments for a while now and when I looked at the recipes I was kind of disappointed with how long they take to make.
Ok, they aren’t long to make, but require many hours in the oven. When you have kids who are excited to make something, waiting 3 hours plus cooling time.. is just too long.
I was really excited when I came across a Baking Soda Dough recipe from UrbanBlissLife!! I actually featured her recipe back in December at From Dream To Reality. She had created gorgeous Christmas ornaments, along with a couple of Star Wars ornaments! Very cool!
The baking soda dough recipe is great! It requires 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1 cup baking soda, 3/4 cup water and only takes about 1 hour in the oven at 175 degrees F.

I actually made the ornaments with my Mom and my daughters on Sunday. It was so much fun!
My Mom enjoyed painting them so much that she asked me to make more Easter ornaments so that she can paint them with my nieces and nephews.
Check out the AWESOME Easter Bunny she painted on one of the baking soda ornaments.
Here’s the cute Easter Bunny Gabrielle painted along with a lovely glittery egg ornament Emanuelle painted.
Gabrielle asked me to share this photo (her bunny rabbit with her favorite ornament).

I remember my mother making salt/flour dough when I was a child. Because I’m acutely allergic to corn, I wouldn’t work with the corn starch dough unless you paid me BIG money. The salt/flour dough would air dry given enough time.
I don’t have children of my own, but I do give crafting some exercise with my roommate’s great-nephew and niece. However, since they are being brought up with out religion and my faith doesn’t really do the bunny/egg thing, I’ll probably pass on “Easter” crafts.
I might do the research to discover the salt dough recipe that my mom used, that way we can make something and the next time they come, we can paint them.
Really cute!
Very cute!
Those are really cute for Easter. My kids would love decorating those. I will have to look up that recipe.
We made something similar for Xmas, but they kept cracking. I think I’ll try your recipe and see how they hold up. Thanks!
these turned out great! Love the clean straight lines!
Saw this on Pinterest. What do I set the oven temp on?
This would be an awesome activity to do with kids.
So cute! Pinning and planning to do this with my kids! – Bre @ Average But Inspired
We regularly do the salt-flour dough to sub for Play-Doh, but it cracks too much for my liking for ornaments. I have a huge bag of costco baking soda that might need to be pulled out for this craft.
these are super sweet! Great project for with the kiddos!
Luuuuuurve it !!! I love how creative it is and it’s FAST.
Smooch !

These are so fun! What a great craft to do maybe instead of colouring boiled eggs…these ones will last year after year! I think I’ll add these to our Easter fun list!
Super cute, Christine! They turned out beautifully! Thanks for sharing.
I love, Love, LOVE this craft idea! I agree with Jo-Anna in that I like this a lot better than working with hard boiled eggs every year. These ones would be a keeper!
These are so cute for Easter! Love them!
Adorbs! Those eggs turned out really sweet.

These came out beautiful! I definitely want to try this. I just wanted to let you know that I am linking to this post on 4/1 if you don’t mind.
Your eggs are adorable. What a great idea to do for Easter. Why is it that we only think of doing baking soda dough at Christmas and not at other holidays. Crazy!
Have a great week,
Bev
I love this – we do them at Christmas with salt dough, but I didn’t even think of Easter!
These are really cute, but more importantly to me is that I had no idea you could make baking soda ornaments. I’ve never heard of them before! We don’t have a kids, but I can definitely see us making these soon. =)
The eggs and the bunnys are so cute, looks like a great project to do with the kids too – thanks!
Love the pastel colors. Such a cute project to get the kids involved in!
Wowza to your mom’s bunny! That’s incredible!
My girls would love these! Pinning this right now.
These are so cute! My kids would love them! Thanks for sharing at Monday Funday! Pinning to our board.

Adorable Christine! This would be perfect for craft time with my lil’ lady. Pinned :)
These are really sweet. I always like to bring in branches this time of year, and these ornaments would work perfectly.
Those look great!! :)
These are so cute! My kids would love to make some. (pinning now!)
You inspire me! Thank you for linking up at Wonderfully Creative Wednesdays. I featured your project as one of my favorites from last week on my blog this week. I’d love for you to take a peek.
Best Wishes,
Crystal
How fun. And so cute!
These are so cute, I love the look of them. Really fun and Eastery! Thanks for linking up at Sunday Soirée.
I’ve made baking soda Christmas ornaments but I never thought to do them for other holidays. The eggs are super cute and I love the colors you used!
These are so adorable!!!
These turned out so cute, Christine! I agree–telling a child to wait 3 hours for the project to dry is just not possible. I’m not even patient enough for that!
Wow, these eggs are so cute! We have dough ornaments still left from when I was a child, so to see an updated version, it inspires me to get in the kitchen with the kids and get baking. Love these! I can’t wait to try these!! Yours are adorable.
