Decorating wood Easter eggs makes me egg-cited because I can keep them forever. Plus, there’s the uniqueness that comes from working with a natural substance like wood. Each egg ends up with its own quirks (relatable) and I’m here for that!

Easter eggs but make them fancy. That’s how I think of these gold leaf wood Easter eggs.

Ways To Decorate Wood Eggs | Wood Burned

Do you have a wood burning tool? Time to bust it out to decorate your wood Easter eggs.

Ways To Decorate Wood Eggs | Add a Name

How do feel about place cards and keepsakes? How about place cards that are keepsakes? Now we’re talking!

That’s what you can create if you burn or paint someone’s name on a wood Easter egg. It will be a sentimental gift they can keep forever and use year after year.

Ways To Decorate Wood Eggs | Watercolor Paint

A paint wash or watercolor paint is a great way to color wood eggs and still allow the wood grain to show through. Watercolor paint allows you to layer the intensity of the colors too.

Ways To Decorate Wood Eggs | Taped and Stained

You can use painter’s tape to create designs with paint or stain on wood Easter eggs. It is tricky to contain stain with painter’s tape, but I still love how these turned out even if the stain did bleed under the tape a little.

Ways To Decorate Wood Eggs | Metallic

Normally, I wouldn’t totally paint over a wood Easter egg because I like to see the wood grain.

However, I did experiment with using hammered copper paint on a wood egg and love how it turned out. You could easily do this with plastic or styrofoam eggs too.

Ways To Decorate Wood Eggs | Stained or All Natural

Sometimes simple is best.

These wood eggs are stained and not sealed. Aren’t they gorgeous in their simplicity? I used all the same stain color here, but you could also use different colors of stain to achieve some color variation between the eggs.

I hope this blog post gave you some ideas on how to decorate wood Easter eggs.

I have found wood eggs at Target, but I usually order them from Amazon. I’ve ordered these eggs multiple times. I like them because of their size and the fact that they are rounded on the bottom. You can get flat-bottomed eggs that will stand upright, but that’s not what I wanted for these projects.

Which of these wood Easter eggs are your favorite? I’d love to know. You can always comment on this blog post, email us here, or reach out via Instagram or Facebook.

Happy Easter!
