DIY Fabric Easter Egg Decor

I’m excited to share my latest scrap fabric craft projects. I love finding a use for leftover fabrics and other materials. I have two Easter egg decor ideas that I’m sharing with you today. Both are no-sew ways to create stunning Spring decor.

My first idea was to cover the eggs with strips of fabric and Mod Podge. This method offers so many possibilities, from creating multi-colored eggs or eggs made of only one fabric choice. Plus, you can use almost any type of egg you have on hand.

The second idea is one I’ve never tried before, but I love the results. This method requires Styrofoam eggs because you stuff the fabric into the egg to secure the design. It sounds somewhat complicated, but I assure you it’s not. Let me share both methods; you can decide which you like best.

Scrap Fabric Decoupage Easter Eggs Decor

First, I will share how I made the scrap fabric decoupage Easter eggs. This tutorial offers so many options. I used one fabric pattern to cover most of my eggs and then added trims with contrasting fabrics. You’ll see one egg where I used two fabric choices. However, you can mix the colors and patterns to create many great designs.

Step One – Cut Fabric Strips

Begin by using the rotary fabric cutter to cut strips of fabric 1 inch wide. Use a straight-edge ruler or yardstick to keep the cutter steady and even. I used 45-inch-wide fabric, and two strips of that length were enough to cover one egg completely.

Step – Two – Attach Fabric To Easter Eggs

Now, you want to measure and cut the fabric to circle the egg from top to bottom. Then, using a small paint brush, apply mod podge to the egg slightly wider than the fabric. Attach the fabric at the top of the smaller end and pull taut as you wrap and secure the fabric in the glue. You can hold in place with a straight pin if needed. Wrap another piece around the opposite side of the egg. This will leave four equal open spaces around the egg.

Continue to fill in with fabric, pulling taut and securing to the small top of each egg. Allow the fabric layers to slightly overlap to avoid any gaps. Ensure that you add mod podge over the previous fabric layer edge so that the top fabrics adhere. Once the Easter egg is covered, set aside to dry.

Step Three – Adorn The Fabric Easter Eggs

Once the fabric decoupage Easter Eggs are dry, you can adorn them with ribbon, beads, etc. I used a contrasting fabric to tie a bow around the center of the egg. Then, I added a flower bead to the bottom of the egg with hot glue. You can use ribbons, beads, appliques and more to adorn your eggs.

How To Make Fabric Stuffed Styrofoam Easter Eggs

Next, let’s look at our second option for making scrap fabric Easter Egg Decorations. For this method, you will need larger pieces of fabric, Styrofoam eggs, and an exacto knife.

Step One – How To Cut Fabric For Easter Eggs

First, you will need larger pieces of fabric for this technique. The eggs will be divided into four sections and the fabric needs to cover the width and height of the sections. I used pieces approximately 5 x 8 inches to ensure that they would cover sufficiently. You will need four sections, and I will use two contrasting fabric designs.

Step Two – Prepare Styrofoam Eggs

To prepare the styrofoam eggs for this project, begin by dividing them into four sections from top to bottom. I used the natural seam in the egg, and then put a rubber band around it to determine the center from the other direction. A Sharpie is best for drawing the lines to divide the egg.

Once the egg is divided into four equal sections, cut along the lines with the exact knife to form seams along the sections. Ensure you cut as deep as the knife allows and have smooth, uninterrupted seams around the egg.

Step Three – Add Fabric To Eggs

Now you are ready to add the fabric. Begin with one piece held in the center of the section. Use the dull side of the exacto knife to push the fabric into the seams. Start at the middle of the egg and work from side to side to keep the fabric smooth. Push the entire piece of fabric into the seams. Once it is secure, use scissors to trim away the excess fabric.

To finish, push the remaining fabric into the seams until no edges are visible. Once the fabric is in place, repeat on the opposite section. Finally, the contrasting fabric will be similarly added to the remaining two sections.

Step Four – Add Trim To Cover Seams

Finally, you will want to cover the seams with decorative ribbon or fabric. I used the rickrack ribbon and applied it with hot glue. Fill the seams with a small bead of glue and press the ribbon into place, ensuring that it covers the open area. As an optional step, I left an extra length of ribbon at the top to use as a tie to hang the eggs. Then I finished with the flower beads.

DIY Fabric Easter Eggs Decor

I made several eggs in pastel colors and used a few different techniques. However, there are so many options for enhancing the fabric Easter Egg Decor. Below are the eggs I made, and I will also show you some close-up images.

Here are three options for the pink and white Easter eggs. I plan to display them with the DIY Dollar Tree Easter Bunny I shared previously. I’m using the large bunny on my mantel until the weather permits placing it outside. One of the cute eggs enhances the mantle’s Easter theme.

I decided to include some blue and white eggs to display for Easter. I’ve transformed my living room with blue and white accents for Spring. The single egg looks adorable on a wall shelf.

I used yellow gingham mixed with a fun spring floral to contrast on a couple of eggs. They may be my favorite. However, check out these purple fabrics. I decided to use two fabrics on the decoupaged one but wasn’t happy with the design. So I added more rickrack and love the details once it was complete.

All the Easter eggs look so cute grouped together in a dough bowl. They would be sweet in an Easter basket, large platter, or planter. What do you think?

I love them all and hope I have time to make a few more. I ran out of eggs, or I would have continued to create more styles. There are so many possibilities, and the more I made, the more I wanted to try different designs. I’d love to hear or see what you come up with.
