A fresh holiday means a new, simple honeycomb DIY — and this one couldn’t be easier. Honeycomb Easter eggs are quick to make and endlessly charming. I kept making them until I had both large hanging eggs and small cake-topping versions. Imagine hanging a cluster from a tree during an egg hunt for unforgettable photos — a sweet memento for families after the hunt. Spring always puts me in the mood for pastels, and these eggs are the perfect way to celebrate the season.
Pastel colors are ideal for spring — soft, cheerful, and fresh. They give these honeycomb eggs a light, festive look that works for decorations, table displays, or party favors.
Supplies
Honeycomb paper pads or pre-made honeycomb balls
Paper for templates
Scissors
Pencil
Double-stick tape or glue
Wooden skewers and tape (for cake toppers)
Thin thread or fishing line and small paperclips (for hanging)
Make small honeycomb eggs
Begin by cutting an egg-shaped template from paper and fold it in half so the shape is symmetrical. Place the folded edge of the template against the folded or glued edge of the honeycomb pad and trace the outline. Cut carefully through the pad. Depending on the size of the honeycomb sections, you may need two matching halves to form the full egg. If so, align the straight edges and join them with double-stick tape so the honeycomb opens into a full sphere.
Make cake toppers
If you’re turning mini honeycombs into cake toppers, tape a wooden skewer along the straight edge on the inside before opening the honeycomb. Open the honeycomb around the skewer and hold it in place with small paperclips so the decoration can be reused later.
Make large honeycomb eggs
For larger eggs using pre-made honeycomb balls, make the same egg-shaped template and fold it in half. Align the folded edge of the template with the straight edge of the honeycomb ball, trace, and cut. When you open the honeycomb, secure it with paperclips so it keeps its egg shape and stays ready for hanging or display.
Hanging and finishing
To hang the honeycomb eggs, attach thin jewelry thread or fishing line to the inside of the honeycomb as close to the straight edge as possible and secure with tape. This keeps them balanced when suspended. Clusters look lovely over a table, along a porch, or from tree branches during an egg hunt.
