Dollar Tree Sunflower Easter Egg

Makeover a wooden Dollar Tree Easter Egg with an unlikely theme. Sunflowers! This unique and affordable DIY Easter decor is made with a rice paper printable, and the best part is it can be made on a budget!

I know I know, you’re probably thinking “But Amanda, Sunflowers don’t really go with EASTER“? And if you know me, then you know my answer is “Sunflowers go with EVERYTHING!”

And if you don’t know me, then Hi! My name is Amanda and I have OSD. Obsessive Sunflower Disorder.

So of course the Design I ended up using for this Dollar Tree Easter Egg was the Vintage Sunflower print called “The Victoria”.

Dollar Tree Sunflower wood Easter Egg made with a rice paper printable, a Dollar Tree wall tile, burlap, sunflowers and greenery for DIY easter decor.

Ever since I discovered printables from Cathy at Digital Deco Designs I have been literally obsessed. I’m telling ya, go check them out for yourself and I dare you to not get addicted!

I download and print them onto rice paper at home from my regular printer, but she offers print and ship as well for those that may not have a printer. Either way, once you start Mod Podging rice paper, you can’t stop!

I love this particular print sooooooo much that I’ve used it quite a few times. My fave project being the Thrift Store Globe that I upcycled into something fun and unique!

How to Make a Dollar Tree Easter Egg with Sunflower Printable

I made this Dollar Tree Sunflower Easter Egg on video, so you can WATCH it or click on the picture right below.

To start off, paint the bottom half of the egg white, so that the rice paper design pops once it’s Mod Podged on. There’s no need to paint the top, because you won’t see the wood through the wall tile.

Next, measure and trace out the bottom half of your egg onto the printable, cut it out and Mod Podge it to the bottom half of the egg. At this point, the bottom half should be the sunflower printable and the top half is still plain wood.

Now do the same measuring and cutting for the top half with the Dollar Tree wall tile, but paint it all white before gluing it to the top half of the wood egg.

Once it’s all glued on, brush some antique wax over the raised parts of the tile, and all around the outer edges of the egg to grunge it up and give it an older distressed feel.

Glue a strip of frayed burlap across the center of the Dollar Tree Wood Egg, to cover the spot where the rice paper printable meets the wall tile.

Add 3 small sunflowers across the burlap to jazz it up.

Finish it up by arranging some greenery with one larger sunflower head front and center.

You can’t see it here, but I added a piece of twine across the back to hang it, and secured it with hot glue and reinforced it with popsicle sticks.

I’m so incredibly in love with how this Dollar Tree Sunflower Wooden Easter Egg turned out!
