Spring’s blooming, and I’ve got a craft that’s pure Mozaic magic with a sprinkle of Cakewalk’s DIY charm—3D paper eggs! These come together with just 6 shapes, a few folds, and some glue—easy enough for a quick win, artsy enough to hang or scatter. Go all-solid or mix solids and patterns for a playful twist. Let’s dive in!

Materials

Egg Template: Download the print sheet. Or grab the Cricut PNGs.

Colored Cardstock: Spring shades—lavender, yellow, green (1 sheet per egg);  

Patterned Paper: Optional—floral, dots, stripes;

Glue: Glue stick or craft glue;

Scissors: For hand-cutting;

String: Optional—twine or ribbon for hanging.

Directions

Step 1: Cut Your Shapes  

Print the Cakewalk template sheet on colored cardstock and cut out the 6 egg shapes per egg. For all-solid eggs, use one color (e.g., 6 yellow). For alternating sides, cut 3 solid shapes (e.g., yellow) and 3 patterned shapes (e.g., floral) per egg—mix it up!  

Cricut Option: Upload the PNG, set to cut 6 shapes (3 solid, 3 patterned if alternating)—load your papers and go.  

Step 2: Fold ‘Em Up  

Fold each of your 6 shapes in half vertically with a sharp crease firm. These are your egg’s building blocks.

Step 3: Group and Plan  

Split your 6 folded shapes into 2 groups of 3:  

All-Solid: 3 solid shapes per group (e.g., all yellow).  

Alternating Sides:

Group A = 1 solid + 2 patterned (e.g., 1 yellow + 2 floral);

Group B = 2 solid + 1 patterned (e.g., 2 yellow + 1 floral).

Number them mentally:

Group A (#1, #2, #3)

Group B (#4, #5, #6).  

Step 4: Glue the First Half  

Take Group A:  

Glue the right side of #3 to the right side of #1.  

Glue the left side of #2 to the left side of #1.

You’ve got a 3-piece half—#1 on the bottom, #2 on the left and #3 on the right. Set it aside.

Step 5: Glue the Second Half  

Take Group B:  

Start with #4 (patterned if alternating; make sure the patterned side is face down)—glue the right side of #6 to the right side of #4.  

Glue the left side of #5 to the left side of #4.

Now you’ve got #4 (patterned, back side) on the bottom with #5 (solid) on the left and #6 (solid) on the right—the opposite of the first half.

Step 6: Assemble the Egg  

Glue the two halves together back to back:  

Right side of #2 to right side of #6.  

Left side of #3 to left side of #5.

Press firm—your egg’s now 3D, with alternating solid/pattern sides if you mixed it up!

Step 7 (Optional): Add a Hanging Loop  

Before gluing the halves, slip a 6-8 inch string loop into one half’s top crease—glue it in, then finish Step 6. Hang and admire!
