Making Easter egg ornaments with the Egg Ornament Generator

Difficulty: easy. Time: 10 minutes design, 15-30 minutes making. Best methods: layered laser-cut acrylic, multicolor 3D printing.

An egg with a name banner wrapped across it - the laser version of grandma's painted eggs. Type the name in Ornament Text and shape the ribbon with Banner Curvature, Banner Height, and Banner Text Size; the name follows the banner's sweep. Pick a Design Type: Single Layer for one piece, Two Layer for a Backplate plus Front with Text, or Three Layer to add a separate Frame for depth. Name Text Size, Letter Spacing Adjustment, and Text Offset fine-tune the fit, and Thickness drives the 3D export.

What You'll Need

Laser cutting: 3 mm pastel acrylic - spring colors are the point - or laser-grade plywood
Assembly: 3M 467 tape or CA glue for layered builds
3D printing: any FDM printer with a color swap for the banner
Finishing: ribbon for basket handles and branches

Step 1 - Name and banner

Enter the name and play with Banner Curvature until the ribbon flows naturally across the egg's belly. Banner Height and Banner Text Size set how bold the band reads; use Letter Spacing Adjustment to relax long names along the curve.

Step 2 - Layers and size

Two-layer is the sweet spot: pastel backplate, white front with the cut banner text showing the color through.
Eggs around 70-90 mm tall hang well from Easter branches; smaller ones tuck into baskets.
Nudge Text Offset so the name sits visually centered between the egg's curves.

Step 3 - Export

Download the SVG with each layer as its own path, or set Thickness and export STL/3MF for printing.

Choose Your Build Method

Laser cutting

Cut backplate and front from contrasting pastels and bond with 3M tape.
Single-layer plywood eggs look great with the banner engraved instead of cut - run text as engrave in your laser software.
Batch the whole egg hunt: names nest tightly, a dozen eggs per small sheet.
Add ribbon and hang from a budding branch centerpiece.
