I had such fun that I made 8 texture plates and more that a dozen prints!

 Two of them I liked so much that I framed them and they are hanging in my house.

Beautiful Easter Eggs with Gel Press

Happy spring, crafty friends!  I have a video to share with you today with an Easter project using the 8" round Gel Press Printing Plate, plastic easter eggs and plain white tissue paper.  I had such fun making these Gel Press Easter eggs!  

Check out how to made them in this video.  

Wouldn't this be a fun project to share with older kids as an alternative to dying easter eggs? Customize the eggs with your favorite colors of acrylic paint, stamps, and pretty ribbons. And you can reuse them from year to year!  Wishing everyone a very happy Easter! 

Until next time,
Kathy
