DIY Easter Egg Placemats the Kids Will Love to Make & Personalize

These placemats are super easy to make with colorful washi tape and letter stickers. Your kids can even help! Follow the step-by-step directions to make your own.

You’ll need the following supplies to make these DIY Easter egg placemats:

Poster board (11″x17″ for each placemat)

Washi tape in different colors and patterns

Letter stickers

Pencil and eraser

Scissors

Glue stick

Lamination or clear contact paper

First, draw the shape of an egg with the pencil, the biggest size you can fit inside the poster board. Start applying the washi tape one by one as stripes, in any order you want. Don’t forget to leave space between each piece of washi tape.

To make a row of dots, trace the outline of a small bottle cap with your pencil. Draw six or seven dircles on the poster board, then fill them in with washi tape and cut the circles out. With a glue stick, glue the dots one by one to form a stripe. You can do this as many times as you want along the placemat.

Finish the placemat base by adding more stripes of washi tape. Then, cut along the edges of the egg shape that you drew.

Use this picture as a template to make a label for your child’s name. Pick the size label according to the length of your child’s name and how many letter stickers will fit inside the label.

Use your eraser to erase the remaining pencil marks along the border of the placemat. Cut the name labels you’ve chosen to use. You’ll need one big label, which you’ll decorate with washi tape as a background, and one small label that you’ll use to spell out your child’s name.

Fill the big label with washi tape for the background. Add the letters to the smaller label to spell out your child’s name. Glue the small label over the background label with the washi tape.

Now that you’ve got the name labels glued on, you’re ready to laminate your placemat. Use a laminating sheet or clear contact paper and apply on both sides of the placemat. Be sure to press the edges tightly to seal them. Cut around the edges to trim the excess laminate, leaving about a quarter inch of laminate to prevent it from getting wet in case of a spill.

Place your placemats on the table with plastic eggs, marshmallows, jelly beans and any other treats that your kids enjoy! They’ll love to have their own personalized Easter egg placemats!
