Simple DIY Wahine Easter Eggs

Spring has sprung! And for this year’s DIY Easter egg project I’ve created another tropical-themed egg. Say Aloha to the Wahine Easter Egg! Adorned with a pretty haku lei and sweet hand-drawn face, this project turned out to be very simple! “Wahine” means woman in Hawaiian and suits these adorable little eggs perfectly. Before we dive into this years project, let’s take a brief look back at that last two tropical Easter egg projects.

Last year’s Sparkly Pineapple Egg was quite the endeavor. Especially considering I had to create it for an article in Food Network Magazine! The pressure was high to pull it off, as well as to have it arrive intact when I shipped it from Oahu to NYC. The year before that, I did a Hula Girl Egg which turned out pretty adorable as well. A bit more complex than this year’s egg design, but simple enough for the kiddos to create as well. Alrighty, lets get to it!

DIY Wahine Easter Egg Supplies

As I mentioned above, this DIY Easter Egg project turned out to be very simple. I lucked out and found the perfect sized lei garland for my haku lei. This made the project so easy! I had originally wanted to use more of a leaf garland and then miniature paper flowers, but I just wasn’t finding what I wanted in the craft store. And since I had procrastinated on this project, it was too late to order anything online. (whoops!) Here is what I used:

I purchased the foam plumeria with the aim of using them on the haku lei, but they turned out to be way too big. So I decided to just use them as part of the display. I’ve included some possible ideas of what you could use for a haku lei but really it could be a variety of things, as long as it gives the feel of a crown of flowers.

Create Your Wahine Easter Egg

First, you need to cut your garland pieces to the length you need to wrap around the top part of the egg. Next, use your hot glue gun to place a line of glue around the egg, and carefully affix the garland to the egg.

Now all you need to do is create a sweet little face. I used a black sharpie to add two little eyes and a smile, but you can add more facial attributes if you’d like. Voila! You’re literally done.

I repeated the steps above with a few more craft eggs to create a little posse of wahine eggs. Then I placed them in a little cardboard berry basket along with some paper grass and those foam plumeria I mentioned earlier. Just look at how adorable they are!

I was seriously shocked at how simple I was able to keep this project. Infact, it was refreshing. I hope you enjoyed this little DIY and if you’re looking for other tropical inspired Easter eggs projects be sure to check out the links below. Happy Easter everyone and Aloha!
