Snow White's Diamond Easter Eggs Craft

Snow White's Diamond Easter Eggs Craft

Ages 5 to 8

Devising an Easter egg decorating technique that truly outshines all the others is no easy task — unless you happen to be an industrious little miner with a store of diamonds at your disposal. Adorned with faux gems and silvery "diamond dust" glitter, these paper eggs are just as sparkly as the ones the seven dwarfs are apt to leave in Snow White's basket. Hide them around the yard for a holiday scavenger hunt, or attach ribbon hangers and turn them into sun-catching window ornaments.
