Tissue Paper Egg

This is an easy Easter craft. The materials we needed her around the house already and it kept my daughter busy for a LONG time.

My daughter picked out 6 colours of tissue paper and I cut a sheet into 2″ x 2″ squares. This is the most time-consuming part. Next I got a foam cup (not great on the environment, though) and poured some white craft glue. You can wrap the tissue paper around a pencil or pen but we used a chopstick.

Cut an egg shape out of your background paper. It should be heavy paper that can withstand the white glue. It can be whatever size you’d like (we went for LARGE).

You take a piece of tissue paper and press the chopstick into the middle. Wrap the rest of the paper around the stick. While it’s still on the chopstick, dip it into the glue then stick it onto the egg-shaped paper. Now you’ll have something similar to my picture here:

Continue until the entire egg-shaped paper is covered! You can do random colours, stripes, polka dots, you name it. It’s a fun 3-D art project for Easter.
