These Gold Foil Easter Eggs are pure glam and make a fun twist on traditional Easter eggs. They’re the perfect DIY for older kids, teens, or adults who want to add a little sparkle to their spring.

Three colorful eggs—blue, pink, and purple—decorated with gold leaf, are placed on a white surface with scattered gold flakes.

I originally made these gold foil Easter eggs for the blog, and they quickly became one of my favorite DIYs! They turned out so pretty, I later shared them during a segment on Sarasota’s Suncoast View, where they added the perfect touch of glam to our Easter setup.

Since we use hollowed out eggs instead of boiled ones, these gorgeous eggs can be enjoyed year after year. Whether you’re displaying them in a basket, as part of an Easter tree, on a tiered tray, or as part of your Easter centerpiece, they always add a special touch of sparkle.

Because you have to avoid getting the glue on your fingers, I don’t recommend this for young children. It’s best to save this craft for tweens and teens…and the grownups too!

Gold Foil Easter Eggs

These beautiful gold foil Easter eggs are easier than they look and make the perfect decor for the holidays.

Equipment

Paintbrush

Materials

▢ wooden craft eggs or regular hollowed out eggs
▢ gold flakes
▢ gold leaf adhesive

Instructions

Color your Easter eggs. I like to use rich, dark colors so that the gold foil stands out more. You may also want to find something to prop your egg on. I used a roll of washi tape but you could also cut up a toilet paper tube or use a napkin holder.
Dab glue in little spots around the egg, a few spots at a time. Place foil over the glue. Be careful not to get this glue on your fingers because it’s VERY sticky and takes awhile to get off. The glue also warns to avoid contact with skin.
Cover your egg in gold flakes, using as many or few as you like. Set aside to dry for a couple hours. You may still have some gold that isn’t completely stuck to the egg. Once dry, take a clean paintbrush and brush over the gold to remove loose pieces.

Notes

I would not use boiled eggs because I’m not sure they’d be safe to eat after painting the glue on the egg. I blew out these eggs to hollow them but you can also use craft eggs. The great part about not using actual boiled eggs is that you can use these eggs as Easter decor for years to come!
