Supplies to Make DIY French Script Easter Eggs

  • Paper Mache Eggs
  • Mod Podge
  • Paint brush
  • Printed pages of this French Script poem printable  – printed from your printer
This poem is called La Cigale et La Fourmi (The Grasshopper and The Ant) written in the 17th century by Jean de La Fontaine. 

This poem tells the story of an industrious ant, a carefree cricket and the end of summer! 

 DIY Tutorial:

  1. Print out the poem – you can get it here .
  2. Cut out each line of words into strips.
  3. With a paintbrush apply Mod Podge to back of paper strip and apply to egg.
  4. Press firmly to make sure all edges are glued on.
  5. Keep applying the paper strips until the egg is covered.

You’re done – Enjoy!

Here are my eggs all finished and placed on a bed of Reindeer Moss (I love this stuff – I used it to make my DIY Reindeer Moss Spheres).
