Helpful Tips:
Can I use regular paper instead of quilling paper for this Easter egg craft?
Yes! You can cut thin strips of coloured printer paper using a paper trimmer if you don’t have quilling paper on hand. Just be sure to cut them as evenly as possible for a consistent look. However, quilling paper is specifically designed to be lightweight and flexible, making it much easier to roll, shape, and glue into intricate designs. If you’re planning to do a lot of paper quilling, investing in pre-cut quilling strips will save time and give you smoother, more professional-looking results.
What type of glue works best for quilling Easter eggs?
Tacky glue is the best option for paper quilling because it has a strong hold, dries clear, and maintains flexibility without making the paper too stiff. Its thicker consistency prevents excess glue from seeping between the paper rolls. We especially like using Turbo tacky glue, which has a quicker dry time. For even more precision, you can use a fine-tip glue applicator or a toothpick to apply small amounts exactly where needed. This ensures each paper roll stays securely in place while keeping your Easter egg quilling patterns looking neat and polished.
Can I frame my quilled Easter eggs?
Absolutely! Once your quilled Easter egg is complete, you can turn it into a stunning piece of seasonal decor by mounting it onto a contrasting background. Choose pastel cardstock for a soft, springtime look or a darker shade to make the vibrant paper coils pop. Placing it inside a shadow box frame is a great way to protect your delicate quilling while giving it a professional display. Paper quilling Easter eggs are a fun and creative way to celebrate spring with colourful handmade art! Whether you display them on their own or as part of a festive Easter craft display, these delicate designs add a special touch to your seasonal decor. So grab some quilling strips and start rolling!
