Add a Pattern

If you’re looking for an easy way to elevate your standard dyed Easter eggs, here you go! For a quick and simple way to make your eggs look better than the rest, use small pieces of tape to cover part of your egg’s surface before you put it into your dye. Once it’s dry, peel the tape off to reveal the fun pattern you’ve created. From simple stripes to more complex webs and designs, you can have lots of fun with this one.

Take an Artistic Approach.

 If you’re really on a mission to decorate some one-of-a-kind Easter eggs, consider each of your eggs as a blank canvas. Give your eggs a soft, delicate aesthetic with watercolors, or use acrylics or other more traditions means to customize each egg with its own hand-painted image.
