The beautiful Easter nest in Nature-look, filled with marbled Easter eggs brings Easter joy into your home! The idea is very easy to rebuild and a real eye-catcher for all nature decoration fans! By marbling eggs you can easily achieve dreamlike beautiful and colourful effects. The technique is very easy, so that you can also use it for the Easter Crafting with children can apply.

And it's as simple as that:

How do I marble Easter eggs?
Line a small bucket or other container with a plastic bag and fill it with enough water so that the eggs can be immersed without any problems. The water should ideally be at room temperature.

Next, select the colours you want to use to colour Easter eggs . Add a few drops of Colour for marbling one after the other and draw a pattern on the water surface with a wooden skewer. Now skewer an egg onto a wooden stick and carefully dip it into the water with Colour for marbling , turning slowly in one direction

Then pull the egg out of the water, blowing the layer of paint on the water to the side so that the egg is not accidentally marbled again. Now the marbled egg can dry - for this you can put the impaled Easter eggs in a tall glass vessel (e.g. a tall flower vase).

To marble more eggs, scoop off the colour remains from the water surface and put the colours of your choice into the water again one after the other.

As the colourful, fold-out eggs do not have a hole, simply open the Easter egg and hold it with your fingers from the inside when you dip your fingers into the colour. After pulling it out, carefully turn it over and let it dry with the coloured surfaces facing upwards on a well covered surface.

How do I make the Easter nest?
While the marbled eggs are drying, you can start making the Easter nest. For this, first glue cardboard to both moss wreaths from below, Normal 0 21 false false false EN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 stick the smaller wreath onto the large wreath and fill it with the dark green moss

Now fill the nest with Willow, tree bark and the marbled eggs. Additionally you can put small decorative birds or chicks in between.

Open the fold-out eggs, fill them with the remaining moss and put a chenille chick in each.

You can then decorate the nest additionally with bows in spring-like colours as well as with small scattering pieces of your choice (e.g. with butterflies) and distribute the fold-out eggs decoratively around the nest.
