How to make your own robin eggs

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Mar 13, 2016 · Modified: Feb 4, 2025

Hi there everyone!  You may remember today’s guest back from February when Rachel from Holy craft shared her Dollar Valentine picture frames.

I adored Rachel’s project so much and felt she is very much in keeping with what I do and share here, that I decided to have her over once a month to share her creativity.  It of course, will be fun, and budget friendly!

Thanks Rachel, and now onto today’s project how to make your own robin eggs.

I was in Target the other day shopping the one spot and found these huge plain eggs for only a dollar. A dollar! I love a good deal, and these were a blank slate just waiting to be used for a project. I picked up the egg and it had a little tag on it that said “decorate me”. I thought to myself, “challenge accepted” as I threw that egg in my cart. I had lots of different ideas for things to do with the egg. Some of them I’ve already done like cover the egg in book pages or draw a cool design with a sharpie.

How to make your own robin eggsSee what I ended up doing with it. I really like the way it turned out.

I started with some blue paint that I had in my craft stash. We all have so many different colors of paint at our disposal right? Pick the one you love and start brushing it on in a thin coat.

I squeezed a small amount on to my paper plate I was using for paint and dipped my brush in. Now, things are going to start getting real!

How to create your own Robin eggs this spring season with dollar treeI’m hoping you will run out to Target, get an egg and be inspired to create something for yourself now. Then tag me @holycraftblog {on instagram, twitter and facebook} so that I can see your creations.

    I just LOVE anything ‘birds’…….nests, eggs, feathers, and of course the cute little birdies themselves. Your robin egg is fantastic; I’m gonna make some for sure!! Thank you for your share.

    Cute. Wouldn’t you know it. After I was just at Target, I’d see something like this. I’ll have to look and see if I can find any of the eggs. Where I live sometimes when ideas like this are posted people will make a run for it,and clean the place out. This might be fun to do with some of the kiddos.
