SUPPLIES:
- Fusion Mineral Paint – Picket Fence and Heirloom
- Wooden Eggs
- Paint brushes
- Fusion Mineral Decoupage and Transfer Gel
- Metallic Gold Leaf for crafting
A great way to achieve the colour that you want is by mixing Fusion Colors together like Picket Fence and Heirloom to get that gorgeous Robin’s Egg colour. We also have our newest French Eggshell everyone is talking about. All are available in tester pot sizes too! (Feel free to also dye your eggs the traditional way and follow the steps below using the metallic gold leaf.)
Step 1: Paint your eggs and allow them to dry for 30 minutes before applying your next coat. You may need two coats to achieve the coverage you need.
Step 2: Use Fusion Mineral Paint Decoupage and Transfer Gel by painting a thin layer where you want to place the metallic gold flake. Make sure to hold the egg so that one side is facing you, use a small brush to apply a thin layer of size in small, random strokes. You don’t have to cover the entire egg and would recommend leaving some areas free to get a marbling effect. You can cover all the areas and let them dry by placing them in a paint palette.
Step 3: Let it dry for a few seconds and place the foil with your finger when patting down with the small brush.
Step 4: To seal and protect your glammed-up egg use the Decoupage and Gel Transfer to finish the look. Now you’re ready to add your eggs in a home decor style either in a Robin’s nest, a Jewellery box, or your favourite centerpiece. Whatever look you are going for the DIY Gold Foil Metallic Eggs are the way to go!
Bonus Tip: Try using Fusion Mineral Paint Metallics as a foil substitute
