Let’s Create an Easter Egg Pedestal

Hello Sweet Friends,

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a new DIY project with you. So with Easter fast approaching, I am sharing an Easter egg pedestal craft idea with you. It was created using supplies from mostly Dollar Tree and Walmart, so it is a very budget-friendly project.

It was super EASY to create and I think it turned out AMAZING. I hope that you like is as much as I do.

So without further delay, let’s get into it!

Supplies needed

Dollar Tree Plus decorative Easter egg
candlestick (mine was thrifted)
white chalk paint
antique wax
hot glue gun
E6000
ribbon and embellishment

As you can see in the above photo, my Easter egg was yellow when I purchased it. So my first order of business was to paint it a more neutral color. Waverly chalk paint to the rescue! I used two coats of the color plaster, with dry time in between. I made sure to get into all of the tiny little crevices.

Then I moved onto the candlestick and gave it a couple of coats of the same chalk paint, allowing it to dry between coats.

To give the egg and candlestick a more aged/vintage look, I dry brushed them both with some of the antique wax. To achieve this, I dipped my paintbrush into the antique wax and dabbed most of it off onto a paper plate. This left only a small amount on the brush.

After all of the paint and wax had dried, it was time to glue the egg to the candlestick. I used hot glue and E6000 both for a secure hold.

At this point, the Easter egg pedestal is nearly finished! A little embellishment is all that is needed. So I tied a very simple, neutral bow, dovetailing the streamers.
