Supplies: Egg Boxes, Dresden Borders and Corners + Embellishments, Rice Paper Sheets, Mod Podge or Decoupage Glue, Metallic Paint, Clear-Drying Craft Glue (Alleen's Tacky Glue), Scissors, Paint Brushes, Pencil + Eraser
Step 1: Tear images from rice paper sheets and determine placement on egg box. Tearing the images leaves edges frayed and rough which is ideal for a smoother, more border-less application.
Step 2: Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the top of the egg box where the image will be placed. Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the back of the rice paper image. Place image on egg and gently press into place. The image will lay down on the curve of the egg with slight overlaps and folds in the design. Paint a coat of Mod Podge over the top of the design, taking care not to "rough" the fibers of the paper and scuff the image. Repeat for each additional image. Let dry completely (generally over an hour).
Step 3: Use pencil to draw an oval shape around image. If this step is frustrating, use a tape measure to measure approx. 1-1/4" from the sides of the egg, top, and bottom and make small marks in each place. Use the marks as a guide to draw your oval.
Step 4: Paint egg up to pencil line with two coats of metallic paint. Let dry.
Step 5: Add Dresden borders: Glue small Dresden border along pencil line around image. Small trim can be gently bent for ease of applying along curve. Glue larger border along edge of egg. Let dry.
Step 6: Glue embellishments along edge of small border to create a fancy frame effect.
Step 7: Repeat process for other half of egg box.
Tips: Dresden border (DFW278) is ideal to place around the image-- it has a symmetrical design and bends well.
Try cutting small elements from larger Dresden corners. The green box, below left, uses two floral sprigs cut from larger rose corners. The yellow box in the example above uses flower and leaf pieces cut from the same rose corners.
It's OK if your pencil line, paint and Dresden border touches or slightly covers the image -- it simply adds to the look of the image in a frame.
Paint an even and generous coat (or several lighter coats) of Mod Podge over your images -- the idea is to seal the image as well as adhere it to the egg box. You'll be amazed and delighted at how a generous coat seems to level out and disappear once dry.
We used Antique Gold or Silver Dresden pieces to contrast with the metallic paint colors, but using colorful Dresdens will also yield a beautiful result.
It requires about 12" of Dresden border to edge one half of an egg box -- so about 24" per egg.
Your egg halves don't have to match: Try using similar but different images on each side of your egg, like the blue and green eggs below. You can also turn your egg sideways, as in the green egg.
