Today's craft is so simple you are going to wonder why you didn't think of it yourself.
These Rae Dunn inspired easter eggs feature the signature skinny hand-written style font and some cute Easter words. You could also personalize them with names, which would be fun for little easter baskets.
The process for making them is pretty much identical to that of the Rae Dunn Ornaments I shared at Christmas time, and I made a short video of the process so you can see just hot quickly they come together.
Supplies:
- Black Vinyl
- Transfer Paper or Contact Paper
-Scissors (I like the teflon coated ones when working with sticky vinyl)
- Weeding Tool
- Silhouette Cameo or Cricut Explore

Photo Tutorial:
1. Measure your eggs and type the words you want into the Silhouette Studio software or the Cricut Design space. Make sure you have sized them small enough to fit on the eggs. The font is THE SKINNY from DaFont. (It is free for personal use, you need an alternative if you are making commercial products!)2. Cut the words out of regular adhesive vinyl.
3. Remove the excess vinyl, leaving the words on the backer paper.
Tip: I find it works best to weed from the bottom of the text, holding the delicate letters down with my weeding tool. The will want to pull up since they are so tiny, so you have to be careful.
4. Once you words are weeded it is time to transfer.
Apply transfer paper or contact paper to the front of the vinyl lettering and press down well. Then lift the transfer paper, removing the paper backing from the back of the letters. 5. Trim the transfer tape closely and clip around the edges to make it easier to apply to a the round shape of the egg.
6. Press the letters one by one onto the egg and carefully remove the transfer tape. And there you have it! A basket full of Rae Dunn inspired eggs! Perfect for Easter!
