Easter Egg Decorating Ideas

Here are a few Easter egg decorating ideas that you and your children may want take on as a project this Easter holiday.

Eggimals

Turn all your eggs into animals this Easter. With some dye, colored markers, felt, tiny pom-poms and glue, you can create animals like pigs, owls, skunks, rats and bunnies. You'll have a backyard filled with hidden Eggimals in no time.

Bling Bling Eggs

Add some sparkle to your Easter eggs this time around with some dye, glue and whole lot of glitter. Not only will they be gorgeous to look at, but with your Bling Bling eggs you won't have to worry about accessorizing.

Confetti Eggs

There's nothing like smashing an egg on top of someone's head, especially when it's filled with confetti. Confetti eggs are the best way to get crackin' with the Easter holiday. They're a lot cleaner than cracking real eggs and the after effects leave you with a beautifully decorated head.

Crayon Eggs

This activity is great for everyone, even small children. If you're looking for a neat and mess free way of decorating your Easter eggs then this is the perfect method. While your eggs are still warm you can take an ordinary crayon and start decorating. The heat will melt the wax and let the crayon adhere to the surface of the shell. It's easy and so much fun.

Create An Easter Egg Wreath

Every holiday seems to have a wreath of some sort; Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc. So why shouldn't Easter have one too? What better way to make an Easter wreath then with Easter eggs. Here's what you'll need:

    14 plastic pull-apart eggs
    Puffy paint
    Egg cartons
    2 large heavy-duty paper plates
    Scissors
    Glue
    Green craft foam
    Twist ties


Then you simply follow these directions:

1. First, decorate 14 plastic pull-apart eggs with puffy paint and let them dry. (Overturned egg cartons make great workstations and drying racks; just set each egg half over a carton cup bottom.)
2. Cut the rims from the paper plates and glue them together. Glue green craft foam leaves around the ring, leaving 1 1/2 inches between them.
3. To attach the eggs, tightly wrap twist ties (one for each egg) between the leaves around the paper plate ring, then simply close the egg halves together over the ties.
