Decorating Easter eggs is fun no matter how old you are. Most of us grew up with the classic "dye and dry," and if we were skilled enough, we could dye a single egg with two different colors. With Easter right around the corner, here are some festive and fun ways to decorate eggs this year.
Confetti
You can decorate these eggs any way you want. Mix and match, or just go crazy. Square confetti or circles? The possibilities are endless. They add a pop to any Easter basket and scream, "Welcome Spring!"
Foil
To add a bit more flare to your Easter, go for a foil layover. It's classy yet cute. Once again, you don't have to stick to a strict pattern. Every egg can be something different and fun.
Silk Pattern
For anyone who wouldn't mind cutting up their nice silk ties, these eggs are for you. Wrap squares of silk around each egg and secure with string before boiling. Everyone will be in awe over your decorating skills.
The Original Dye
Dye your eggs, your hands, the counter and the dog. For classic Easter eggs, go with the store-bought dye kit. It never gets old.
Color Scheme
If you're in the mood for all of your eggs to have a similar color but different designs, this is the way to go. At a glance, the eggs look the same, but up close, each one is totally different, which makes this decorating style so fun.
Monogrammed
Preppy eggs - need I say more? Who doesn't want their initials on at least one Easter egg? I mean, the Easter Bunny clearly gives the most candy to best decorated eggs.
Chalkboard
This is a fun design for little kids, and if they (or you) mess up, just erase and start over. Piece of cake.
Animal
These eggs are by far the cutest. How can you resist those faces? Animal decorated eggs take the classic dye eggs a step further. They also make great center pieces.
Emoji
Just in case you need to put some more emotions into Easter and egg decorating, these eggs are for when you have no words to express just how excited you are that the Easter Bunny left you a giant chocolate bunny.
Glitter
This style is so pretty, and once again, you can decorate each egg differently, yet they all end up matching. Look to combine glitter, confetti and foil eggs for some upscale, high-end looking eggs.
Have fun!
