Great Easter Egg Decorating Ideas

03/19/2012 Leave a Comment

Every year I look forward to coloring Easter eggs with the boys, and selfishly it’s more for me I think than it is them.  I love the colors.  I love creating and mixing colors, it’s fun to me.  I don’t always like eating the eggs {or smelling them in my fridge}, but I adore seeing those beautiful jewel tones in my fridge.  One of my most favorite colors to make is this deep teal and I mix it will a fuchsia purple to make a beautiful marbled egg.  I thought these ideas would help you find some new techniques you might not have thought to use normally.  I am a big fan of using stickers, rubber bands, the wax crayons relief, and string.  Is there something special you do when dyeing Easter eggs, a special technique?

And lastly here is a great tip for dyeing eggs.  Use muffin tins you can dye several eggs at one time, it’s the perfect size for the job.
