How To Make Glitter Easter Eggs

In our house, we love to dye Easter Eggs, even with the kids being older now. We moved past the traditional dying easter eggs with food coloring this year to some fun new ways like dying eggs with rice and also making these fun glitter Easter eggs! Sure this method is a little messy, but the end results wow you and the kids. It is the perfect egg for the Easter bunny to hide!

Items Needed:

• Boiled Eggs
• Fine Glitter
• Elmer’s Glue
• Paint Brush
• Quart Baggies
• Hairspray (optional)

How To Make Glitter Easter Eggs

• Place a bit of Elmer’s glue or white craft glue in a small bowl.

• Make sure your boiled eggs are nice and dry.
• Add some of each color of glitter to a quart baggie. Do not mix the colors. I added only a couple of tablespoons, but filling the bag up a bit more, if possible, would definitely be better. 

• Use the paint brushes to coat one egg at a time in glue. Make sure you don’t miss a spot!

• Gently drop the coated egg in the bag of glitter of your choosing and gently roll it around in the glitter, being careful to not scrape it against the sides of the bag too much.

• Once the egg is nice and coated, leave it in the bag and lay it flat for about 2 minutes. 

• Gently remove the egg from the bag. If there are any spots that didn’t get coated, gently apply glue in just those spots and place it back in the back and repeat the process.

• Once coated to your liking, spray the egg with hairspray, if you’re using it and gently sit it down without scraping the sides and let it dry for about 8 minutes. The hairspray helps the glitter to not shed near as much. Enjoy your glitter eggs!

Tips Tricks and FAQs

• The hairspray cuts down the amount of glitter that sheds, so I chose to use it when making these eggs. Buy a cheap bottle at the store because it works just as well as more expensive hairspray. 
• Coating the glitter in another layer of glue did not work. It just makes the eggs a very gooey mess. 
• Be sure to keep the eggs in the bag for the full two minutes after coating the egg. This allows time for the glue to dry and the glitter to stick. 
• While it might seem like a good idea to sprinkle the glitter over the egg and apply it that way, it did not work as well as rolling the egg in glitter in the bag. 
• Fine glitter covered the egg better than chunkier glitter. 
• Use a paintbrush to apply the glue. This ensures that it does not go on thick. 
• You can use any variety of eggs that you prefer. 

Can you eat glitter easter eggs?

Yes, you can technically eat glitter easter eggs, however, I prefer not to. The reason, if you ingest too much glitter you may have sparkly poop, which may not be something that you would like.
