Make a tissue paper Easter egg design
We used the coloring page with circles on it. Choose two or more colors of tissue paper. Cut them into small pieces and then scrunch them together. Glue each of the tissue paper balls onto the paper Easter egg. We started by filling in the circles with pink tissue paper, and then used green tissue paper balls to fill the remainder of the egg.
Make a glitter glue Easter egg design
For this paper Easter egg design, we printed the egg with swirls all over it. Have the kids color in the Easter egg page using crayons, pencils, or markers. Using glitter glue, trace over the swirls, and then add spots all over the egg too.
Make a scrap fabric Easter egg design
Cut strips of scrap fabric and glue them over a paper Easter egg. Set them aside to dry.

To make our scrap paper Easter egg design you will need to print two paper Easter eggs. Use one as a template to cut out your scrapbook paper, and the other for gluing your fun colors and designs onto.

Once your glue is completely dry, turn your Easter egg designs over and cut along the egg shape line that you can see through the back.

More Paper Easter Egg Craft Ideas
We showed you how to make large paper Easter eggs above, but what about making ornament (or egg) sized paper Easter eggs with an added ribbon loop glued on the back to hang from an “Easter tree”. A really cute idea is to create an Easter tree from a bunch of cut pussy willow branches in a large vase.
You could take that a step further and use it at your Easter celebration with each person adding something they are thankful for to their decorated egg ornament.
We also have another fun way to decorate paper Easter eggs using construction paper.
