Easter: Painted Saguaro Cactus Easter Egg

Arizona Cactus Easter Egg As Seen In Food Network Magazine copy

I’m over here totally geeking out that I can now add “as seen in Food Network Magazine” to my blogging resume. Food Network Magazine picked 50 craft bloggers from across the country to design an egg representing their home state. I was honored to design an Easter egg for Arizona and I hope I did my state proud with my blooming saguaro cactus egg! I’m a longtime Food Network Magazine reader, so it was pretty cool to see my work on one of those glossy pages. Keep on reading for the tutorial.

SUPPLIES

Eggs (faux or hard boiled)
Paint (green & white)
Paint Brushes (a thinner brush is needed for the cactus “needles”)
Faux Pink Flowers 
Hot Glue Gun
Mini Terracotta Pot


TUTORIAL Step 1: Paint the entire egg using green acrylic paint. I used Martha Stewart’s Satin Acrylic Paint in Scottish Highlands.  Food Network Magazine Arizona Easter Egg 4 copy Step 2: Once the egg is dry, use a fine tipped paint brush to add white vertical lines to the egg. Add “X’s” to the lines to look like cactus needles. I used Martha Stewart’s High Gloss Acrylic Paint in Wedding Cake. Arizona Cactus Easter Egg Tutorial copy Step 3: Once the white is dry, hot glue a faux pink flower to the top of the egg. Place egg in a mini terracotta pot.  Food Network Magazine Arizona Easter Egg 2 copy Step 4: Grab a copy of Food Network Magazine (April issue) to browse the rest of the state inspired eggs. You can find the online gallery of State Easter Eggs HERE.  Food Network Magazine Arizona Easter Egg 3 copy You might also like these Easter crafts:   Little Lamb Donuts   Bunny Butt Oreo Pops   Bird Seed Ornaments

I'm Vanessa and it's my mission in life to spread my love of hot glue guns and glitter to others. I suffer from craft ADHD, regularly working on at least 10 projects at the same time and my craft room looks like a tornado hit it. My first craft book, Party in a Jar, was published in 2014. I look forward to crafting with you!
