60 Simple Easter Egg Designs, From Cute to Beautiful
All our best egg decorating ideas in one basket! (Well, technically, it's a list).
On the hunt for simple and beautiful Easter egg designs to round out your Easter decorations on April 9? Here, we've gathered the best ideas from the crafty editors at Country Living and looked far and wide to collect the best blogger projects too.
Whether you’re using a store-bought dye kit or natural egg-dyeing techniques, pull out that craft bin. Buttons, rickrack, twine, paint pens, crepe paper, foraged garden finds, and wire (for ladybug antennae, of course) are your new go-to Easter egg decorations. Love vintage dishes? On this list, you'll find the cutest Easter egg decorating ideas that mimic the look of transferware, spatterware, jadeite, lettuceware, and yellowware too! With so many fun options, an egg decorating competition between the adults and kids at your Easter celebration may be in order.
Finally, if you’re looking for alternatives to hardboiled eggs, you have a few options. You can make “blown” Easter eggs, which are quite delicate but will last for years (find instructions in our first idea). Or you can forgo natural eggs entirely. With a coat of paint instead of dye, papier-mâché eggs, wooden eggs, or foam eggs will work just fine for most of these Easter egg decorating ideas. And if you find yourself on a roll, we've got so many more Easter crafts for you to try!
