Thyme to show you how to make some Primitive Easter Eggs!

Today
I would like to show you how to make some 

PRIMITIVE EASTER EGGS

Lets gather some supplies and paint!
Supplies

colored plastic Easter eggs, cinnamon, thin wire or twine, homespun, old paint brush, drying rack or egg carton, glue gun, drill , disposable rubber gloves, disposable container for  mixing paint
Paint
grey metal paint primer, DecoArt Americana Khaki Tan paint
Lets get started!

The eggs that I found had holes drilled in the top.
If you want to hang your eggs, now would be a good time to drill your holes
IF
your eggs do not have holes in them!
If your eggs come apart in the center use your glue gun
and
a dab of glue to glue them shut!

Spray a couple of LIGHT coats of gray metal primer to your eggs!

Let your eggs dry well between coats.

I use an old egg carton to stand my eggs in to dry.

I spray the tops first , when dry I rotate them and spray the bottoms.

Let your eggs dry well!

Pour some Khaki Tan paint in a disposable bowl

(depending on how many eggs you are painting you may need several bottles of paint)

Sprinkle CINNAMON into your paint a little at a time.

Mix well. 

The paint will be THICK!

( this is what gives your paint texture and adds flecks of color)

BEFORE PAINTING

If you are going to hang your eggs

cut a small piece of wire or twine

and

stick into the holes on top of your egg.

Secure with a dab of glue 

You are now ready to PAINT your eggs!

Use an old scruffy brush and mush the paint on your eggs.

The thicker the better!

You don't need to try to get these SMOOTH!

They are PRIM Easter eggs!

Let your eggs dry well!

Cut strips of homespun

You can tie your homespun at the top of your egg

I display my eggs on my primitive tree.

I made this tree using an old antique sugar tin I found

at a thrift shop!

 I display my

 " primitive tree" 

on an old dough box in my dining room

I make various seasonal decorations to hang on it

I saved some of my eggs to display in my yellow ware bowls

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial to make primitive 

EASTER Eggs!

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon.

Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness,

and

at the end of the day you don't look at it

and

wish you had painted something different."
