Every spring, the stores transform into candy-filled wonderlands with their pastel displays of marshmallow peeps, colorful doughnuts, and those irresistible floral arrangements. Of course, Easter wouldn’t be complete without decorating eggs—whether it's painting them, dyeing them, or even bedazzling them. While my kids adore the brightest, boldest hues imaginable, I’ve always leaned toward a more understated aesthetic. Think soft, natural tones and subtle elegance. My Pinterest boards are brimming with ideas for earthy Easter decor, especially golden eggs. This year, though, I found myself drawn to the idea of adding gold leaf or gold foil to my eggs. The shimmer is undeniably stunning, but let’s be honest—it’s also incredibly pricey. If this were a project meant to last beyond a few days, I’d probably splurge on the real deal. But given that edible eggs typically don’t stick around long enough to justify such an investment—and since I wasn’t planning on blowing out the eggs to preserve their shells—I opted for a budget-friendly alternative instead. Enter: metallic gold paint. Yes, it’s as simple as it sounds. Luckily, I had some leftover metallic gold paint from a recent project with West Elm, so I decided to experiment with creating faux gold leaf eggs. The results? A touch of golden magic without breaking the bank. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to pull off!
Perfect for someone like me who values practicality without sacrificing charm. (Not that I consider myself cheap—just resourceful!)
To start, gather your supplies: paper towels, metallic gold paint (I used Martha Stewart’s multi-surface formula because it works wonders on virtually any surface), and fresh eggs. Place a sheet of paper towel on your workspace to catch any drips, then squeeze out a generous blob of gold paint. You can also mix things up by experimenting with other shades—like robin’s egg blue or silver—to suit your mood. Once the paint is ready, gently roll each egg in the paint while it’s still wet. It’s surprisingly satisfying to watch the metallic finish spread across the shell. My son thought it was so cool that he insisted on joining in.
For a more polished look, you can create geometric patterns using painter’s tape. Simply apply the tape in diagonal stripes or chevron shapes, then fill in the gaps with a fine brush dipped in gold paint.
Once you’re done, set the eggs aside on the paper towel to dry completely. Voilà ! Golden eggs that look almost too good to eat—but trust me, they’ll disappear faster than you think.
