Coming up with new and creative place cards is one of our favorite parts of styling a party. And it’s even more fun when we get to create them for one of our favorite holidays! We are obsessed with these DIY Wood Eggs and knew they would be the perfect starting point for our Easter themed place cards. With just a few coats of color blocked paint, some decorative details and fresh, spring florals, our DIY Egg Place Cards became one of our favorite details of this Modern Easter Party!

Begin by painting the bottom portion of the DIY Wood Egg light pink. We applied 3 coats of paint, allowing the paint to dry in between coats.
