DIY Easter Egg Topiary +15 Ideas for Dollar Tree Stackable Eggs

This DIY Easter Egg Topiary is the perfect seasonal craft that looks high-end but is made with Dollar Tree stacked egg decor!

Materials

  • Dollar Tree stackable plastic eggs 3 sections per egg
  • Mod Podge matte
  • Foam brush
  • Assorted napkins look for fun spring or Easter patterns
  • Ribbon for a bow
  • Rhinestone embellishment optional
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Instructions

Step 1: Separate the Layers of the Napkin

  • Most decorative napkins are 2-3 ply. Carefully peel the layers apart, keeping only the top printed layer. This will make the napkin thinner and easier to adhere smoothly to the egg’s surface.

Step 2: Apply Mod Podge to a Section of the Egg

  • Using a foam brush, apply a thin, even layer of Mod Podge to one section of the plastic egg. Start with a smaller area so the glue doesn’t dry too quickly before you apply the napkin.

Step 3: Add the Napkin

  • Lay the napkin over the Mod Podge-coated area and gently press it down, smoothing it into the egg’s surface. Use your fingers or a clean brush to press the napkin into the grooves and design of the egg. Be very gentle to avoid tearing. Trim any excess around the edges with scissors if needed.

Step 4: Repeat on All Egg Sections

  • Repeat the process for the other two sections of the stacked egg. You can use the same napkin print for a cohesive look or mix and match different patterns for a whimsical touch.

Step 5: Add a Bow

  • Create a simple ribbon bow using your favorite spring ribbon. A pastel stripe, polka dot, or floral print would all work beautifully. Use hot glue to attach the bow to the top or front of your topiary egg.

Step 6: Add an Embellishment (Optional)

  • For a little extra sparkle, add a rhinestone, button, or jewel to the center of your bow using hot glue. This adds a polished, boutique-worthy finish to your craft.
