Decorating Easter Eggs with Rubber Stamps

Hi there! Easter is coming up (March 31st) and I wanted to try an Easter egg decorating technique using some craft materials that I already had on hand.

Let's begin with a few eggs.

Here are cherry blossom-themed stamps. They are cling-on stamps meant to be mounted on acrylic blocks so that you have a better grip when stamping. 

Without the acrylic block, the stamp is more flexible allowing the print to adhere to the rounded edges of the egg.

It's not a perfect print but I think the flaws add a handmade charm.

Now, let's try some alphabet stamps.

Just be aware that it might take two or three tries to print each letter -- just carefully follow the curve of the egg. 

Use them to spell out greetings or names. 

Here is another set of stamps. I used the words to make these Christmas gift tags.

Today, I'd like to use the flourishes.

They're a little tricky to use. Instead of a clean print, shadows or repeats are formed.

But they do add a unique pattern.

Here are my Easter Eggs decorated using rubber stamps and ink pads...TADA!

Use the eggs as table decorations or additions to an Easter basket! And if you need more Easter Egg decorating ideas, you can find them here, here, here, and here.
