Craft Project #20 – Eggstravaganza! Let the painting begin, part one: Shades of yellow and peach

I will begin this installment by painting 3 dozen plastic eggs using 4 different colors of acrylic paint. There will be 9 of each color. Considering that I’m beginning with 156 eggs and the possibility of adding 60 more, I decided this would be a good starting point.

For the first group, I used Apple Barrell acrylic paint in the color Sunny Day.

The next group was painted using Anita’s All Purpose acrylic paint in the color Vanilla Cream.

For the next group, I used Delta Creative Ceramcoat acrylic paint in the color Calypso Coral.

The last group was painted using Anita’s All Purpose acrylic paint in the color Light Coral.

I applied 2 coats of paint to each egg allowing several hours between coats. I am happy with the ways the colors have turned out!

I may or may not go back and put a coat of Mod Podge on the eggs but that it still in the thinking/planning stage. I still have 120 more eggs to paint.
