Timing

When to start

Easter is on Sunday, March 28, 2027. Start by Thursday, March 18 and every step below fits, with a spare evening for a second pour.

  1. 1

    Print

    From under an hour for a cookie cutter to overnight for a palm-sized mold.

  2. 2

    Pour the silicone

    Only if the design is a silicone mold kit. Pour it once and let it cure: 4 to 24 hours.

    Cast

    Wax cools right through in 4 to 6 hours. Plaster opens in 30 to 60 minutes and dries in a day or two. Concrete wants at least 24 hours in the mold.

    Paint, seal, scent or pack it, and keep one spare evening for a second pour.

Questions

Easter: common questions

When is Easter 2027?

Easter 2027 is on Sunday, March 28. Good Friday is two days before it and Easter Monday the day after. Western Easter moves every year, always between March 22 and April 25.

Can I make chocolate Easter eggs with a 3D printer?

Yes, through a silicone mold. Put an egg-shaped model into the tray mold, print the caster it builds, pour a food-safe platinum silicone into it and cast the chocolate in the silicone. Coat each half twice and join two halves on a warm plate.

How do I make the mesh Easter egg?

Print the two flat honeycomb nets, warm them with a heat gun or in hot water until they go soft, press them into halves and push the halves together on the pins round the rim. The tab on top takes a ribbon for the Easter tree.

What can the kids make with me?

Cookies. Cutting and stamping with the Easter set is a job for small hands, and a child's own drawing can become the next cutter: upload it to the free cookie cutter maker, which traces it into a cutter that prints in under an hour.

How early should I start for Easter?

About ten days before. Printing takes from under an hour to overnight, silicone cures in 4 to 24 hours and wax cools in 4 to 6. Easter moves every year, so check the date above before you plan.
