Since I had some things left over from the Easter wreath project I figured I’d make another Easter craft.

What You’ll need

  • a plastic bucket or basket.
  • colorful eggs (Any size)
  • markers or paints. I used paint markers
  • a glue gun
  • something to protect your work surface (I used a trash bag)
  • Stencils (Peel and stick or traditional ones work for this project)

You can also add any extras such as Easter grass or ribbon or other embellishments.

amzn_assoc_placement = “adunit0”; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “rasp02-20”; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = “manual”; amzn_assoc_ad_type = “smart”; amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”; amzn_assoc_region = “US”; amzn_assoc_title = “”; amzn_assoc_asins = “B01MU076WR,B075N3N6S6,B01BNMKG2A,B005LMZDU4”; amzn_assoc_linkid = “f4d8fefe8f7840a309de7fb931ea3cdd”; amzn_assoc_search_bar = “false”;

Once again if you use a glue gun you will want to have cardboard handy to test it with along with a paper towel or a rag to clean up any excess glue

Also if you chose to try this project make sure your bucket or basket is a thicker quality plastic. That way it may be less likely to melt.

Creating the bucket

Basically I purchased an inexpensive bucket at my local drug store. I also picked up the eggs there too. I sat the bucket down and figured where to start.

After I found out what I wanted to do I started to letter the eggs. I used a stencil for one but figured I’d hand lettering them would be easier. I used a set of paint markers to do this. Once I wrote out what I wanted to spell I lined up the eggs and placed them where I thought they would look good on the bucket.

  • Pink bucket
  • Plastic Eggs
  • Paint markers Mozart
  • lettered Egg

Gluing the eggs to the bucket

I will admit this will be tricky. As I mentioned above you will need to have a thicker quality plastic bucket or basket. You will also need to take care not to burn yourself (Like I did). I found it was easier to add the glue to the eggs and then place them on the bucket. This can also help with possible melting of your bucket. I was lucky it didn’t melt.

  • Hot glue on Egg
  • Eggs Glued to basket
  • More Eggs glued to basket
  • back of basket

I had two extra eggs left so I added them to the back of the bucket. If you have excess glue on your project when your done you can warm it with a hair dryer and peel it off. Or you can gently scrape it off too.
