Spray paint your DIY Wonderful Wood Eggs in an assortment of colors. I tried to paint them with acrylic paint first, but that was too hard. I quickly decided spray paint would be a better option.

Apply a small amount of adhesive to the painted DIY Wonderful Wood Eggs. I used Elmer’s® Adhesive Spray.

Carefully apply Gold Foil Leaf Sheets onto adhesive. Gently, press down on the gold leaf to make sure it sticks to the egg. For this step, I recommend wearing gloves, unless you want to have gold leaf fingers too!




Using a brush, carefully brush off any extra gold leaf. If you have too much gold leaf in one area, apply a bit more pressure to remove the excess. This makes a mess. I covered an old piece of foam core with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Place your eggs in our Easter Planter Box Centerpiece. Optional: You can seal your gold leaf with a metal leaf sealer. This will help protect the gold leaf and keep it in place.
