Easter is right around the corner and these decoupaged French style Easter eggs are perfect!

And what’s even better is that you can reuse them every year!

This is such an easy project, and you can order everything off of Amazon and have it delivered right to your door!

Here’s what you will need: 

(May contain affiliate links)

  • Decoupage
  • Paper Napkins
  • Small Artist’s Brush
  • Styrofoam Eggs (you can also use wood or plastic eggs)

You will want to remove the back layer from the napkins…just peel it off, leaving the layer with the design.

Tear or cut small pieces from the napkin.

It’s easier to decoupage a round object with small pieces, rather than large.

How to Create French Style Easter Eggs with Decoupage | Edith & Evelyn | www.edithandevelynvintage.com

Using the small artist’s brush, place some decoupage on the egg, place one of your pieces of napkin on it, and then decoupage over the top of it, layering the pieces around the egg.

I worked on several eggs at a time, letting some of the layers dry before adding more. Otherwise, it gets too sticky.

The decoupage dries quickly so it doesn’t take long to finish a dozen eggs!

Once all of the eggs are finished, add one more thin layer of decoupage over the entire egg to seal everything, and let dry.

Then they are ready to display!

There’s so many ways to decorate with these French style Easter eggs, and they have such a pretty look added to a plant or urn.

They also make a pretty adornment for each place setting at the Easter table!

We recently found a gorgeous antique French dining table and I used an old salvaged architectural capital filled with orchids for a centerpiece.

It has preserved green moss in the bottom and I added a few of the French style eggs to it as well as a nest.

    I know I’m only a couple YEARS late.
    First off, oh my goodness, how adorable ❣️❣️
    While reading and scrolling a little (size) video popped up on the screen.
    It showed lamb’s, with no wool.
    Then cutting microfiber cloth (atomotive dept), in sml pcs, they used tweezers to glue the white cloth onto the sheep.
    Was that another video of yours?

Who says pumpkins have to be orange? 🎃 With a li Who says pumpkins have to be orange? 🎃 

With a little paper clay, decorative moulds, chalk paint, and touches of antique gold, simple craft store pumpkins become elegant French -inspired treasures. I love the beautiful texture and old world character the moulded details give each one….and no two are alike!

They’re gathered in an antique dough bowl for a soft, sophisticated fall centerpiece that can be enjoyed year after year.

The complete step-by-step tutorial is on the blog. Tap the link in my bio to see how I created them!

“It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who “It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives—the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can do is remember.”~Ronald Reagan

To every family who has sacrificed a loved one so that we could enjoy our loved ones today, thank you. 
“Greater love has no man than this; that someone lay down his life for his friends.” 
– John 15:3
