Decorative Eggs with paint and ribbon – Rustic Easter Eggs
How to decorate Easter eggs with paint and ribbon for a rustic style Easter. These rustic Easter eggs add the perfect touch to any Easter decor.
Guess what we did this weekend? We decorated more eggs!!
We didn’t do much Easter crafts last year, so we are making up for it this year! hehe :)
I came across these cute farm eggs and I loved the way they were decorated. I used them as inspiration to create ours. Unfortunately the website that inspired me is no longer online.

Decorative Rustic Easter Eggs
Supplies:
- Brown eggs (Extra large or jumbo eggs. Don’t forget to empty them.)
- Acrylic paint
- Decorative ribbon (I got my ribbon from May Arts: Wired String with Mini Raffia Bows in Natural and Sheer Box Pleat Ribbon in Ivory.)
- Thin paint brush
- Dot tool
- Hot glue gun
Instructions:
Step 1: Measure and cut the ribbon you would like to apply onto the eggs. Use hot glue to fasten it onto the eggs.
If you want to apply ribbon onto your eggs, I recommend you do so before painting the eggs. It’s easier to paint the design when you have a straight guide.
Step 2: Use a thin paint brush and dot tool to decorate the eggs.
Step 3: Allow the eggs to dry and you are finished!
Here’s the collection of stylish eggs I made with my Mom.

I love the idea of using brown eggs! It’s so easy to go bold and colourful when it comes to Easter egg decorating but I love how simple and pretty these are.
I love these…they are so dainty and sweet..xo
These are gorgeous, Christine! I love them… so delicate and beautiful! Happy spring!
These are SO pretty Christine! I absolutely love the idea of using brown eggs…why have I never thought of this before?! Just beautiful!
I agree with Jo-Anna. These are so pretty and elegant looking. This is clearly a case of where ‘less is more’ creates such a stunning effect! The brown eggs with the natural coloured ribbon and markings are perfect!
Love the simplicity of these eggs. We pretty much only eat brown eggs around here anyway and this is the perfect way to dress them up without going overboard. Love!
Omg, these are seriously so cute Christine! Love the ideas ;-)
Have a great weekend!
These are so beautiful Christine! I am very behind in egg decorating this year so I need to get on it b/c my kids are already asking. Love the natural look of them too!

Well these are too sweet, Christine! I love that you can still see the natural colour of the eggs! Pinned!
