I thought it would be fun to bring this post back from last Easter for a few reasons:
Easter is only about 39 days away (gulp)
The sun is shinning and it’s putting me in a springy mood
This was the last post I posted on blogger almost a year ago. It never made it’s way over to wordpress and it still sits on some of my favorite peoples blog rolls. (I don’t have the courage to ask them to update, I know, crazy)
The kids had so much fun making these
~Easy DIY Sparkly Easter Eggs~
I googled it to see if had been done before and was so happy to see my friend
Maryann from Domestically Speaking pretty eggs.
Shows you how far behind I am.
This one is Maryann’s
Grayson, my 5 year old helped me.
Have a plate of epsom salt and a plate of glue ready. (I used Elmer’s)
Paint the glue on the egg.
Roll it in the salt and let them dry.
~Voila~
Such a fun project to do with the kids.
Thanks for stopping in today!

Those eggs are beautiful! If I can find Epsom salts, I'm going to make those. Last time I tried to buy salts, when I wanted to fill the jar by my bathtub, they told me its illegal to sell it now because people buy it to make crack. I kid you not. Maybe that's just in California?
Those are really cute! Good luck on your move to word press. I am certain it will go better than my initial move. Loving it now though!
Very pretty!
I love this! What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

This is a fantastic idea. The pastel colors are so pretty.
This looks like such a better option than my attempt at mod podge on eggs! I'm going to try this tomorrow! Thank you
LOVE these!! So pretty and sparkly. I hope to try these with the kids this weekend. Hope you are having a great week!

Every egg I see I think oh how could any be cuter than that one… well then along comes epson salt eggs. And even better – glue and salt, I can do those!

Beautiful!
When I make my switch, I’ll have to add everyone back. lol.
I’ll make sure to include you
I originally pinned this last year and there must of been an Epson salt shortage because I couldn’t find any. I’ve got some now however!

Cute. Makes me wish they were candy, coated in sugar so I could take a bite lol.
That is so cute! Looks like candy!!
OOOH, wann try this asap!!!! Thank you for sharing!
Great idea Kristin – epsom salts aren’t just for Christmas anymore! Have to pin this!

How cute, and fun to do with your little guy!
After you are done with them, you can throw them in the tub and take an epsom salt bath to get out the toxins….. Just kidding, the glue is probably full of toxins.
Did you use plastic eggs?
