How to Make a Washi Tape Easter Egg
This craft is so easy anyone can do it! You can even do this as a project with your kids, but use scissors instead of an X-acto knife to trim the washi tape.
Supplies:
- Cardstock
- Cricut Machine (optional) or an Egg Shape Template
- Washi Tape
Recently, I purchased some spring washi tape from Pick Your Plum*. I knew I wanted to use it immediately!
*Note: Pick Your Plum is no longer in business. Here is a pretty selection of spring pastel washi tape from Michaels. This colorful washi tape from JoAnn is also a great choice.
Cut Out Egg
To create the egg shape, I used my Cricut. I cut the egg 7″ tall to put it in an 8″ x 10″ frame. You could also cut the shape out by hand if you don’t have a die-cutting machine.

Add Washi Tape
Once you have your egg shape cut out, start laying strips of washi tape across the egg, lining up each new piece with the previous one.

Trim Washi Tape
Turn the egg over. Use a cutting mat and a craft knife to carefully cut off the excess washi tape.
I used dimensional squares to attach my egg to the paper I trimmed to 8″ x 10″.
The yellow paper is from the Amy Tangerine Plus One line I posted about when I created my spring banner.

Love this! I did something like this for our valentine this year, but didn’t even think of doing one for Easter! Thanks for intensifying my obsession with washi ;)
Laura Silva says
Isn’t washi tape the best? Doing a Valentine’s Day one would be so fun, too! Thank you for sharing your idea with me. :)

I love this, it’s so cute and I just happen to be obsessed with Washi! Honestly, I have no idea why I never thought to use my XActo knife when cutting edges on washi tape projects. You may have just changed my life, thank you ;)
See you at SNAP! Or well, the Phx airport first :)

Looking forward to meeting you Sara! I love my X-Acto knife for washi. Scissors are awful since the small pieces of washi stick and you spend more time picking off the tape pieces than cutting!
