April means Easter, school holidays, and for some, the first real break of the year.
You may be planning a trip away, or simply nesting at home with the family, seeing friends, and indulging in hot cross buns and Easter eggs. If you have young children around, it’s always fun to do some traditional kid-friendly activities, like Easter egg hunts, baking or egg-decorating.
This year, instead of using traditional pastel shades, why not give your Easter eggs an extra sparkle by exploring shades of gold? Use dipping techniques to cover half the egg in one colour, and the other half in another. Or tape to mask off areas to create a striped effect.
My favourite Easter table decoration is a bowl or basket filled with solid gold-looking eggs, created by using 3-4 shades of paint from Resene’s FX Metallic and Special Effects collection of metallic and pearlescent finishes. Visit your local Resene ColorShop to purchase testpots or shop from the comfort of your home by choosing your testpot colours at shop.resene.co.nz/testpots
Use real eggs, or purchase egg blanks (made from papier-mâché or wood) from your local crafts store. For more inspiration and the dos and don’ts of egg painting, simply visit resene.co.nz/easter for a whole host of Easter ideas and then enjoy making some lasting holiday memories.
