Easy DIY Easter Egg Canvas + Template
I have a fondness for canvases – photos, quotes, art – I think everything looks better on a canvas. And my home is decorated with a number of canvases, both seasonal and year round. But until my easter egg canvas, I had have never made my own.
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of FrogTape Brand Painter’s Tape.
Somehow staring at the literal blank canvas always overwhelmed me. I even bought a canvas once to make something and returned it. But that is silly, and now that I have created my own Easter canvas I will not be afraid to make more!
Using a template, this craft was so easy. I did have to let it dry for sometime in between steps, so it wasn’t quick. But I just left everything set up and came back to it as each step dried.
In the end, I just love the way it turned out. It makes a cheerful addition to the Easter decorations in the playroom.
How to Make Your Own Easter Egg Canvas
Since there is no such thing as freehand when I create art, I relied on Frog Tape® to help me create a template that was easy and worked perfectly.
Materials:
- Blank Canvas
- Frog Tape®
- Puffy Paint
- Sponge Pouncers
- Parchment Paper
- Scrapbook Paper
Step one: Download and print the egg template. Cut out the egg shape. Then layer a large piece of scrapbook paper, the egg shape and a piece of parchment paper.
Step two: Cover the egg with strips of Frog Tape®.
Step three: Cut out the egg shape.
Step four: Carefully remove Frog Tape® from parchment paper and scrapbook paper and place template on canvas. Hint, I found it easies to work left to right, sticking the tape to my work surface as I removed the left side.
Note – I used Frog Tape® Delicate Surface, next time I do this I will use normal Frog Tape® for this step and switch to Delicate Surface for the next step.
Step five: Using the Sponge Pouncer dab paint inside the egg shape to create your Easter Egg. Remove tape to reveal your perfect egg.
Step six: After your egg dries (a couple of hours to be safe), use Frog Tape® to mask off a wide line on your egg. Then fill in area by dabbing on another color of paint.
Step seven: Allow your stripe to dry, and then mask off another thinner stripe and dab on paint.
Note, I did not allow my paint to dry between steps because I was inpatient. So I formed a skinny piece of tape, and then smudged the whole thing with the back of my hand. Don’t do that! Let it dry.
Step eight: Once everything is dry, use the puffy paint to squirt polka dots directly onto the canvas.
Step nine: Allow to dry and admire.
Thanks to Frog Tape®, I am no longer afraid of a blank canvas. I plan to use this same method to make more seasonal canvases!
Trace the Bunny
Print the bunny silhouette to fit your canvas – a sitting up bunny works perfectly for this purpose. You won’t want to do anything too complicated. It needs to be rather simple and large for the tissue paper to work in making the shape.
Cut out the bunny silhouette and trace around the edge with a pencil, directly on top of the painted canvas.
Apply the Tissue Paper
Cut several small squares of white tissue paper. Take one square of tissue paper and wrap it around the eraser end of your pencil. Pour some Mod Podge out onto a palette or piece of paper and dip your tissue paper/pencil into the Mod Podge.
Push the tissue paper down onto the canvas within the boundaries of the bunny silhouette. Pull up the pencil and it should leave the tissue paper behind.
Keep adding tissue paper in the same way until the entire bunny silhouette is filled in. You’ll see if there are any spaces that need to be filled in when you stand back a little.
Add the Features
Glue pom poms where the nose, eye, and tail should go using craft glue.
Let dry completely before displaying! I’m sorry, I can’t help but love the size of his cute tail. I think it’s the largest pom pom I’ve seen.
Now hang up your Easter bunny canvas! I’ll admit, this project made me excited . . . because I’m wondering what other silhouette art I can make with tissue. Let me know what you think in the comments!
