Create Decorative Wooden Eggs for Spring

If you like the look of intricate pysanky style eggs, but not all the work, decorate wooden eggs instead. With a few tools, you can create faux Ukrainian pysanky eggs. They will last forever and are easy to create.

You will need: wooden eggs / craft paint / paint brush / and paint pens (optional). Apply a base coat of paint to your wooden eggs. Let them dry thoroughly. 

For a simple pysanky style egg, you'll need to draw a basic grid. Traditional pysanky eggs have geometric patterns. To help with placement, draw a vertical line in pencil down one side of the egg. Then repeat on the opposite side. 

Draw another line perpendicular to the first, vertical line. This line should bisect the vertical line in the middle.
