First, remove the egg carton lid from the Color Your Own Resurrection Story Egg Set. You could also just use the DIY Easter Eggs with Carton which does not have a lid. I used the carton with a lid since I preferred the longer egg separators and higher sides of this carton.

The top row of the carton will be filled with eggs that spell out HAPPY, which is 5 letters long. Fill the 6th egg space with a Metallic Golden Easter Egg.

Press and rub each letter onto a DIY egg to spell out "HAPPY EASTER". Place the letters on the top 2 thirds of each egg to allow room for color blocking.
