Spring is here, and Easter 2025 is the perfect time to get creative with some exciting DIY projects using Vintage Paint. Whether you're decorating your home for a festive gathering or simply looking for a fun craft day, these projects are designed to be both easy and visually stunning.
Best of all, they're perfect for using leftover 700 ml cans from your furniture projects—or even the handy 50 ml format that's just right for smaller jobs.
Textured elegance: eggs with structure powder
For a more tactile twist, try your hand at eggs with Structure Powder by Vintage Paint. Whether you're working on polystyrene eggs or similar materials, Vintage Paint provides a unique advantage. Unlike traditional paints, which often struggle to adhere or give a dull result on polystyrene, Vintage Paint delivers vibrant, long-lasting color and texture.
TIP: sprinkle some Structure Powder while the paint is still wet. Once it dries, brush on a contrasting tone to highlight that rich, grainy finish. It’s the perfect method for achieving a refined yet playful Easter look while giving new life to challenging materials.
Another method is to mix Vintage Paint with Structure Powder in a 4:1 ratio and dab the mixture directly onto the surface. This creates a more sculpted, tactile effect—perfect for adding depth and texture to your Easter creations.
Fun for all ages: splash-painted Easter eggs
Embrace creativity with splash-painted eggs, a project that's not only visually striking but also a delightful activity to do with kids. By flicking paint from a toothbrush or thin brush, you can create abstract patterns that are entirely unique. And for peace of mind, know that Vintage Paint is certified EN71-3, ensuring it’s completely safe for children.
Just make sure to cover your workspace with a cloth or protective sheet—those playful splashes tend to travel everywhere!
Get ready for a day full of giggles and messy fun!
Sophisticated chic: optical-style Easter eggs
If your style leans toward the refined and unexpected, optical eggs are the way to go. By using bold contrasts—like sleek black and white spirals or striking geometric patterns—you can create pieces that serve as a chic conversation starter. Perfect for those who want their décor to stand out in a sophisticated, almost art gallery-like fashion, these eggs add an element of urban minimalism to any setting.
The key here is patience and a steady hand—don’t rush it! For cleaner lines and more control, painter’s tape can be a great ally.
Country charm: romantic Easter eggs
For a softer, more nostalgic mood, try decorating romantic eggs in gentle pastels such as Faded Rose, French Lavender, Dusty Green, Vintage Cream...These are ideal for setting up country or shabby chic atmospheres, bringing a touch of vintage elegance to your home. Decorate with delicate floral decals, lace trims, or a faint dusting of gold antique wax to enhance that dreamy vibe.
Creative detailing: eggs with decorative Woodwill wooden ornaments
Take your Easter creations to the next level with Woodwill wooden ornaments—decorative elements that resemble carved wood but are actually heat-moldable. With a bit of warmth, they become flexible enough to adapt perfectly to the curved surface of your eggs. Available in a wide variety of designs and sizes, they’re the perfect detail to personalize your project. Once applied, finish with a coat of Vintage Paint and a touch of metallic antique wax to bring out the raised patterns and turn each egg into a tiny masterpiece.
Besides Woodwill ornaments, you can also create beautiful raised decorations using Vintage Paint’s 5 min super fast-cure resin together with Re·Design moulds.
It’s an easy and creative way to add even more custom details to your Easter eggs!
Easter décor beyond eggs: furniture with Re Design Transfers
Don’t limit your creativity to eggs! Use Re Design seasonal transfers to give a festive makeover to any small piece of furniture. Apply these transfers to drawers, cabinet doors, or trays that have been pre-painted in soft spring hues. Imagine a small side table, refreshed in Soft Sand, accented with blooming branches, bunnies, or playful vintage lettering—the perfect touch for a balanced, year-round décor that whispers Easter in every detail.
And the best part? With Vintage Paint, furniture can be repainted again and again. So once Easter is over, you can easily give that same piece a whole new look in a different style—no stripping, no sanding, just pure creative freedom.
Soft add-ons: decorating without repainting
You don’t always need to repaint your Easter eggs to make them beautiful. You can also decorate them as they are by applying dried flowers or small pieces of decoupage paper.
Vintage Paint Primer&Sealer isn’t just a base coat—it also works wonderfully as a glue for light materials, making it perfect for these delicate, creative touches.
