DIY Rae Dunn Easter Eggs

 

If you have a Rae Dunn obsession, you will love these DIY Rae Dunn Inspired Easter Eggs. Rae Dunn products have been trendy over the years, and DIY Rae Dunn has blown up on craft blogs… like yours truly, hehe.  I created some Rae Dunn inspired ornaments this past Christmas, so I knew these eggs would be easy peasy to make.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FYI, you need a Cricut machine or similar cutting machine to make these ornaments. The cut is super small and I would not recommend trying to cut these by hand! Keep reading to learn how to make these farmhouse style Easter eggs and get the free cut file to use in Cricut Design Space!

 

 

If you’re curious (or in a hurry)…

It’s an excellent Cricut Machine and yet, you’ll also find that it is one of the cheapest options you’ll find online.

It’s available in several colors and gets great reviews. If you can get it for under $300, grab it. That’s one heck of a deal on a Cricut machine! See color choices, check the current price & read reviews here.

What is Cricut Design Space?

 

Cricut Design Space is the program you will need to design and cut your Cricut projects. When you set up your Cricut machine, you will need to install Cricut Design Space. All Cricut machines come with Design Space, their free, easy-to-learn design software. It’s cloud-based so you can access your files from any device, any time. Start on your phone, continue on your laptop, and even work offline – all without breaking stride. From there you have the option to arrange a design from scratch or select from thousands of ready-to-make projects. Place your material on a mat, load it in the machine, and press Go. The machine handles the rest.

 

 

Design Space features tons of ideas to kickstart your next masterpiece. Browse and play with thousands of images, fonts, and ready-to-make projects. Since Cricut is adding more all the time, you’ll always find something fresh, new, and inspiring.

 

Do you need a computer to use a Cricut machine?

 

A computer is recommended, however, you can access Cricut Design Space and a Cricut Explore Air machine through mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, and Android devices). I highly recommend using a computer with Cricut Design Space and a Cricut Machine because you will have the full design options in Design Space and your machine needs to be close by to cut (even if you are using wireless Bluetooth).

 

What is Cricut Access?

 

You may have seen or heard about Cricut Access from Cricut or another blogger. Cricut Access is a membership that gives you 10% off your Cricut purchases (and various other offers and discounts) and access to thousands of images and fonts in Cricut Design Space.

 

 

I have a Cricut Access Membership, which provides me with thousands of free images to come up with some Cricut craft ideas. Be sure to check Cricut Design Space for some free Cricut projects! Some of the free Cricut DIY projects in Cricut Design Space can be used to sell (which makes the membership fee worth it in my opinion!).

Making personalized gifts, cards, home decor, farmhouse signs, and more is easy with a Cricut Explore Machine.

 

Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the cost for all the benefits!

How to make DIY Rae Dunn Inspired Easter Eggs

 

SUPPLIES:

• Adhesive Vinyl
• Clear Contact Paper
• White Craft Eggs
• Cricut Explore Machine
• Standard Grip Cutting Mat
• Cricut Basic Tools

 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Download the free SVG, DXF, EPS, or PNG file. Upload the file to Cricut Design Space and gather supplies. I found some white craft eggs at Michael’s Craft Stores on sale for only $2!
2. Edit the free cut file in Design Space as needed and size image accordingly (mine was sized 1 x 1 inches for all eggs pictured).
3. Weed the cut images. 
4. Apply contact paper and adhere to eggs. These were so easy my 7-year-old daughter helped (her hands below)!
5. Peel off the contact paper to reveal the egg. 
6.  Repeat steps for the remaining eggs.

What Cricut Accessories Do I Need?

 

Cricut Essentials make putting the pieces together a joy. From tweezers that handle delicate parts to Cricut EasyPress for foolproof iron-on, every Essential makes a great project even greater, every step of the way.

These are the Cricut Tools & Accessories I recommend for the serious crafter:

 

Cricut Easy Press

 

 

 

I highly recommend purchasing the Cricut Easy Press if you plan to do any iron-on or heat transfer projects. The Cricut Easy Press will make your Cricut DIY’s so much easier!

 

The Cricut Easy Press comes in 3 different sizes, however, I own the 9 x 9 and it’s the perfect size for most projects.

Cricut Easy Press Mat

 

 

If you purchase the Cricut Easy Press, don’t forget to get the coordinating Easy Press Mat, which will protect your surfaces and projects from burning. Alternatively, you can use a folded towel, however, the mat is sleek and easier to store in the craft room 😉

Cricut Bright Pad

 

 

The lightweight, low-profile Cricut BrightPad makes crafting easier while reducing eye strain. It illuminates fine lines for tracing, cut lines for weeding, and more.

Cricut Cutting Mats

 

I suggest having a variety of cutting mats that are customized to match the weight of commonly used crafting materials. With three different mats specifically designed to work with different weights of materials, you can ensure success in all your projects.

Cricut Tool Set

 

 

You will thank me later for telling you to just get the Cricut Tool Set instead of buying each tool individually! The tools included in the Cricut toolset are all helpful when using your Cricut machine.

My favorite non-Cricut brand materials

 

You can find other brand vinyl, iron-on, contact paper, and more outside of Cricut.com. A few of my favorites are:

• Oracal 651 Permanent Vinyl (find it here or at your local craft store)
• Siser HTV
• Dollar Tree clear contact paper (or shelf liner)
• Various fat-quarter fabrics at Walmart
• Felt sheets at local craft stores

 

 

Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the cost for all the benefits!

How To Choose a Cricut Machine

I bought my first Cricut machine in 2013… it was called the Cricut mini and was one of the first Cricut machines that didn’t have a keyboard. It was a great machine but as soon as Cricut released the Cricut Explore machine in 2014, I quickly bought it. A year later Cricut released the Cricut Explore Air and I bought that too. Then in 2017, Cricut released the Cricut Maker Machine and of course I bought it too. So you can say I’m pretty experienced with Cricut machines and have in-depth knowledge about using Cricut and various Cricut projects.
