These paper easter eggs are fun for kids of all ages. This fun craft can make them with pastels or bright colors and they are a great way to get younger kids involved in making the easter decorations.
These eggs are great for working with fine motor skills and the bonus is they are not messy like paper mache eggs would be. All you need is a few simple supplies for this Easter egg craft, only scissors, paper (I like colorful scrapbook paper), and glue.
You could even make only half an egg, don’t close it and put it into an easter card. 3-dimensional pop-up cards are so much fun.

How To Make Paper Easter Eggs?
For this project here is what you need:
- Construction paper or card stock (I like to use fun paper)
- Scissors
- White glue, paste, or hot glue gun & glue sticks
Assembly Instructions:
- Get Ready: Get your supplies together and choose some paper colors for your eggs. I like to use a combination of pastels and bright colors.
- Cut Out Eggs: Use your scissors to cut out the egg shapes from the paper. You can use our free template to make it easy! Just print the template onto the paper you want to use or hold the template against the paper and cut around it.
- Fold and Glue: Fold each egg shape in half. Then, put glue on one half and press another egg shape on top. Add as many layers of egg shapes as you like and then you will fold the 2 loose ends together and glue them shut.
- If You Want Them To Stand: Put a little hot glue on the bottom of each egg and stick it on a glass surface or a surface that is easy to pick the hot glue off of to make a flat base.
- Let Them Dry: Wait for all of the glue on your eggs to dry completely before moving them.
- Decorate: Once dry, display your eggs in a basket, use them as a centerpiece, or even hang them up for everyone to see!
