Easter Egg Luminary

Light up your Spring with one (or more) of these elegant eggs. At 10" tall, it's sure to make a statement. It's hard to believe, but this jaw-dropping project is surprisingly straightforward to make!

You can cut these shapes out using a cutting machine, such as a Cricut or a Silhouette Cameo. For paper, you'll need five sheets of 12x12" card stock paper. We like textured card stock, such as Encore or AC Cardstock. The textured single-sheet card stock at craft stores usually works well. For the interior liners, you'll need three sheets of vellum. For the panels, you'll need three sheets of 12x12" glitter card stock.

Some glues that work well are Scotch, Bearly Arts and Art Glitter Glue. It's illuminated using an electric candle with an LED bulb.

Paper Collection | Supplies

The Easter Egg Luminary project is illuminated from the inside by a Five-Inch Rustic Country Candle Lamp by Creative Hobbies. You can substitute its bulb for an LED light bulb which is much cooler while on than a traditional incandescent bulb. Alternatively, you could insert a battery-powered LED lights or AC-powered LED lights. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PROJECT ON AND UN-ATTENDED.

This project uses vellum, although it could be made with the cutouts left plain (open) instead. It uses three sheets of 12x12" vellum or three sheets of letter-sized (8.5x11") vellum. It uses three sheets of 12x12" glitter paper (or whatever you'd like to use for its panels) as well as six sheets of paper for its main structure.
