Here’s my version, and today I’ll show you how I did it:
I started with these eggs and moss from Hobby Lobby.

(Side note … I found this wooden game board at Goodwill many months ago and bought it for $1. Works great for when I’m painting round objects like eggs and Christmas ornaments. )
Next, I glazed the eggs using Ralph Lauren’s Smoke glaze. Glaze one side at a time by applying with a sponge brush and wiping off with a paper towel.

I chose random letters and numbers…
I placed the eggs and moss in the glass jar turning the eggs so they faced out:
A fun addition to my Easter decor…
