Learn how to make an easy 3D layered Easter Egg with intricate lines, curves, and layers like a mandala.

A few days ago I shared a pretty rainbow with hearts design for displaying in your front window. Well, with it being so close to Easter (less than two weeks away now), some folks are opting to also put Easter eggs in their windows for a sidewalk Easter egg hunt. So we designed one of the super popular 3D layered mandala-style designs in the shape of an Easter egg, as well. as a more layered floral Easter Egg. Mandalas are so easy to make, and if you want another design to make for your house, check out my heart mandala too!

These 3D layered Easter eggs are part of our MAKE IT EASY Craftalong Challenge, filled with fun and EASY daily themed projects for your Cricut!

You can make the 3D layered Easter Eggs big and detailed or small and simple. The ones shown in this tutorial are about 8″ wide.

All you need to make these Easter eggs is basic cardstock and a way to keep them together, like glue or spray adhesive. If you want to get the 3D look, you use spacers in-between the layers — you can use foam mounting tape, pre-cut adhesive foam circles or squares, or just bits of cut cardboard, craft foam, or layered cardstock.

The secret to getting a beautiful even look is to apply the spacers to the underside of each layer — that way you won’t see the spacers peeking through once it’s all put together.

We’ve designed two different FREE 3D layered Easter egg patterns for you to try, and they’re both very easy!

Here’s the floral Easter egg — this one is just four layers! Learn how to make this one in the video above.

    I sometimes have a hard time finding the file for items like the 3 D eggs with the proper extension.
    When you did the eggs the other yu told us they were first in your library but they weren’t when I logged on later.

    1. Hi Randi! You can find the design file number for the eggs in the materials section of this blog post.
