Egg cups with Zendoodle patterns

Happy Easter bunnies for the breakfast table

These cute egg cups with their smiley designs are sure to bring egg-stra fun to the breakfast table at Easter time! Each egg cup has its own unique, bright character. With their colourful ears decorated with detailed Zen-Tangle patterns, they really do look quite special.

To create this effect, the best choice of pen is the edding 1800 profipen. Starting with just a few strokes, link them together little by little until a small work of art appears. The patterns that develop can then be coloured in with the edding 1340 brushpen which features a flexible brush nib. The new edding 1340 Tangle Brushpen Set is now available, containing ten vibrant colours ‒ so now everyone, including children, can have lots of fun and make Easter egg cups!

Step-by-step

Step 1

For each egg cup you will need one strip of thick coloured paper measuring 14 cm x 3.5 cm. Use the edging scissors to create a decorative top edge. Cut out the ears from the light-coloured paper with the aid of the stencil. Begin by drawing the eyes and mouth in the centre of the strip of paper using the edding 1800. Stick on a mini pom-pom as a nose.

Step 2

To decorate the bunny ears: First, draw the outline with the edding 1800. Then fill it in with individual strokes and circles, linking them together little by little. Add lots of colour to the whole design (or just parts of it) with the edding 1340 brushpens. To make the orange egg cups, we coloured in the area around the Zendoodle pattern with an orange pen. We've put together templates with beautiful tangling patterns, which you can download.

Step 3

Bend the strip of paper with its bunny face into an egg cup shape. Glue the ends together, then glue the ears on. And there it is – your finished Easter bunny egg cup!
