Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Fantastic Easter Eggs Decorations from Styrofoam

Mar 17, 2023

This Easter craft project will show you how to make beautiful eggs with a foam clay technique that involves covering the egg's outer surface with a layer of foam clay and then covering the egg with flat-back pearls.

Foam clay is a product I discovered when a kit was given to my son for a birthday, and it is so fun!

It is air dry, and that always makes things easy. But the best part is what it's like after it dries. It dries into something soft and slightly squishy, just like other craft foam products. It's so cool.

What will they come up with next?

Step 1 - Cover eggs with foam clay

Cover the egg completely with a layer of foam clay. The thickness of the clay should be around a quarter of an inch.

Step 2 - Even out the clay

Roll the egg around on all sides using the palm of your hand and a flat surface to even out the clay.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Step 3 - Add flat-backed pearls

Grab a flat-backed pearl and add a dab of glue to the back.

Gently push the pearls into the clay just a little.

Use various colors and sizes of flat-backed pearls to cover the entire egg.

You might want to roll your egg around again with the palm of your hand to even things out.

Depending on the thickness of your egg, doing it could embed the pearls deeper into the egg, which could be a look you like even more.

These were fun to make, so I made several.
