THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO DECORATE EASTER EGGS…
The most beautiful Easter egg ideas you have seen, include Ester eggs painted in colors, découpaged with patterned fabric, and transformed to look like kid-friendly spring creatures.
Any decorated dozen starts with the perfectly chosen egg. There are lots of varieties: duck, quail, turkey, ostrich, and, of course, the household chicken—and they all come in various sizes. To make decorated eggs last beyond the season, blow them out first. Once cleaned, they are ready to be decorated.
The best ideas find inspiration in the spring season itself from floppy-eared Easter bunnies to flowers in bloom, chicks, and of course pastel colors. If you are looking to dye Easter eggs, there are several methods to try beyond a standard one-color dip. Use wax, rubber bands, ribbon, and stencils to customize masked designs. And if vivid hues are what you are after, try reusing common kitchen scraps to create natural dyes. Some of the most sophisticated Easter eggs don’t require any form of dyeing at all: From découpage to acrylic paint, you can use other craft supplies to create intricate designs.
Whatever your skill level, these are newfound Easter egg ideas that will thrill everyone in your home. Many of them are easy enough for anyone to make—you, the kids, and everyone in your whole family. Swap the traditional dye job for the twelve creative twists below and create the most elaborate Easter eggs to impress your friends and family on Easter Sunday!
