These nature inspired eggs will look pretty all spring, not just for Easter. You can display them in a creative way, such as placed them on a wood slice and a bed of moss instead of traditional Easter basket. While I pressed pansies, because that is what I had in my garden, you could experiment with other flowers too!

How to Make Pressed Flower Easter Eggs

1. Press flowers for 3 weeks

This craft requires a little planning ahead. You’ll want to press your pansies between wax paper or paper towels for several weeks so they are completely dry before you add them to the flowers. Place between the pages of a thick book and stack more heavy books on top to ensure a good pressed flower!

Use a foam brush to apply a thin coat of Mod Podge to the egg where you plan to place the flower.

4. Seal with more Mod Podge

Add a layer of Mod Podge on top of the flower to seal it. You can spread the Mod Podge around the egg to provide a consistent sheen, especially if you are using glossy Mod Podge. Let dry completely.
