I was perusing the seasonal section of Target as I far too often do, and came across the prettiest Easter nonpareil sprinkles. Obviously, I bought them. And then I proceeded to cover eggs in them. Because isn’t that the logical thing to do!? Sprinkles are the new glitter, after all! These sprinkle Easter eggs are quite delicate but man are they pretty! Now make your own. You know you want to.
Pastel Nonpareils (I found these at Target!)
Eggs, Hard-Boiled (Update: If you are concerned about wasting eggs, you can use this same concept on styrofoam eggs or other faux eggs you can find at a craft store!)
Tacky Glue
Paintbrush
Spoon
First you need to get everything set up. Pour your sprinkles into a medium size bowl. Squeeze some tacky glue out of the bottle onto freezer paper or wax paper. Using your paintbrush, cover your egg in a good, even layer of the glue. Now dip your egg in the sprinkles and press down firmly, covering about half your egg in sprinkles.
Let go of your egg in the bowl, and using a spoon, cover the other half of the egg with the sprinkles. Now for the most important part! After your egg is fully covered in sprinkles, firmly press the arc of the spoon against and around your egg, “sealing” the sprinkles on. If you don’t do this step, your sprinkles will fall off very easily. So do it!
Let your egg dry partially right there in the bowl of sprinkles (You can use a large bowl so you can do multiple at once). Once the sprinkles are mostly set, if you want, you can carefully lift it out and allow it to dry completely on a wire rack.

A little note.. These eggs are delicate and meant for decoration only. Make sure you do the spoon “sealing” step to secure the sprinkles and try not to toss these around. Please do not eat them! Obviously the glue renders the sprinkles inedible, and be sure to throw away your excess sprinkles since they will have come in contact with the glue as well.

Awseome, nice eeg image
Well said
These turned out so great! I love ’em Kelly.
Pretty, pretty!

Your photos are exceptional
This is a fabulous idea!!
An excellent idea – I love it”
I’m sure you could use blown out eggs, plastic eggs, and Styrofoam eggs..coat in a sealer or mod podge and use the next year.. no wasted eggs, and no worries about little hands eating the wrong stuff =)
Great ideas, Terri! I’m going to update the post with these ideas to eliminate any worry for those who are concerned.
Thanks!

Me too-
This is amazing! I love it!
Oh, I like it! I have never seen anything like this. Thanks for sharing Kelly.
I have read you can make an edible glue with meringue powder and water. I wonder if using that would work – then the eggs would still be edible.
I was thinking a sugar “paste”. But, I bet meringue would be better. Def, will try both. Too may people grab and start eating without asking(okay, yeah, so that would be me!). Unless, you told every housemate–hey DECOR only. I think the chances someone’s gonna glue in their mouth is pretty high. Otherwise, thanks for post!
SPRINKLES!!! What a cute idea! Thank you for sharing, Kelly.
When I tried to do this the sprinkles and color started to dissolve. Any suggestions?
Oh no, that’s not good! Can I ask what kind of sprinkles you are using? I only tried this with the nonpareils. I didn’t have any issues with them dissolving! If you are using sanding sugar sprinkles, I could imagine those wouldn’t hold up well with the glue.

Thanks for this awesome Blogspot.I recommend you to update it by clarifying doubts in the comments.
any other ideas for sticking the sprinkles with an edible option?
Hi Laura! Another reader mentioned making an edible glue with meringue powder and water. I haven’t ever done this so I’m not sure how that works and if it will hold, but might be worth a try! Let me know if you test it.

You may be able to attach the sprinkles using piping gel so you can eat them later.. Or even peel the eggs then attach sprinkles with piping gel
Hi! This is kind of off topic buut I need some guidance from
an established blog. Is it tough tto set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any tips or suggestions? Many thanks
I like your information you have provided, thanks. Very useful advice within your post!
I’ve seen glitter covered eggs but these are even better! The pastel sprinkles are perfect Easter/Spring colours!
I’ve just put together an “Easter Inspiration” post on my blog and had to include this (link back, of course!) – if you’re not happy me with using your picture just let me know and I can amend the post.

This is so cute. The eggs look perfect. Certainly this idea I will use the next Easter 🙂
This year at Walmart the had white plastic eggs by the dozen for less than 2 dollars. They didn’t dye very well but the matte texture made glue and paint stick really well. I bought 4dozen but i wish I bought more.
can you seal these with something? modge podge or spray shellac???
Oh my GOD! I wish I saw this post before Easter, I would have totally made all the eggs like this lol. I will definitely do it next year!
Yummy, but can’t eat it.
Good job! I love it! Very original!
