Adding a touch of glam to Easter decor is easy with just a few items. Gloria’s home is decorated with lots of gold and white decor pieces, so the traditional pastel Easter colors just don’t fit in. These Golden Easter Eggs are a perfect for her color scheme.
My idea for this started when I spotted this gold tray at Goodwill recently. It was only .99. It just needed to have the sticker removed and it was ready to use.
I bought a pack of craft eggs from Walmart. I like that these are smooth, without any markings on them.
I already had some gold paint on hand. It’s Folk Art Metallic. It gives a matte finish which is what I wanted for this project. Painting these was a little messy. I painted one side, allowed it to dry and then painted the other side.
Gloria found these pearl borders at Michaels. They have adhesive backing. I cut the strips down to the size I needed and wrapped them around each egg.
The pearls give the golden eggs a little extra touch of glam.
I had a couple of pearl garland strands in my craft stash and they were just what I needed to add to the tray. The eggs are nestled on top of the pearls.
I love how these turned out. Until Gloria takes them home with her, I have them out on display in my foyer.
If you’re looking for something other than pastels for Easter, give this a try! Who says Easter eggs have to be pastel?

March 23, 2016 at 6:45 pmWow, that is so beautiful and the photos are excellent too. Very creative. I once thought I would be a craft blogger, good that I changed my mind, I would be so outclassed with these beauties.

March 25, 2016 at 12:31 pmI am obsessed with metallics (I actually have that same paint!), so I love these. They’re beautiful … so I hope Gloria took her time to pick them up and you could enjoy them longer.
Beverly says
March 25, 2016 at 4:55 pmThanks, Lisa! Gloria loves metallic finishes, too especially gold. I made a few gold ones for myself, too.
