Spring is fast approaching and, although most of us are really looking forward to warmer weather and blossoming trees, there is something we anticipate even more: Easter! There are many reasons to love this joyous holiday – yummy food, egg hunts, gift baskets and – above all – spending quality time with our loved ones. This is exactly why we decided to devote today’s article on one of our favorite traditions – dying Easter eggs. Not only is it a fun activity that all the family can enjoy, but it helps to bring us all together and gives us an opportunity to display our creativity and artistic skills.

Have you ever wondered about the origins of the tradition of dying Easter eggs? There are many different versions of the story. According to some, people used to color eggs long before the onset of Christianity. The word Easter itself stems from Ēostre – the name of a Germanic goddess, associated with spring and fertility. She was often depicted with birds, rabbits and eggs, which symbolized rebirth and the renewal of life after winter. It is believed that after Christianity became a widespread religion, some pagan rituals, such as the dying of Easter eggs, were incorporated into the new doctrine. Other sources claim that the tradition of coloring eggs began with Christianity. There are several legends according to which eggs carried by the Virgin Mary or Mary Magdalene changed their color to red either during Jesus’ crucifixion or after his resurrection. Yet another legend tells of a 13th century monarch, King Edward I of England, who allegedly gifted 450 painted eggs decorated with gold leaf to his royal court for Easter, thus starting the egg dying tradition.

We may never find out for sure which of the three versions is true but whatever the reason – we really glad that this fun and unique tradition came to be! And, since we want to share our love for Easter with you, we have selected the 150 very best and most original ideas for egg dying, coloring and decorating, including tips and tutorials. We hope they will make your holiday even more special and unique!

  • Miniature decorative flowers in white and pink (you can find them in all good art supply stores)
  • Super glue
  • Sleepy eye stickers or black marker

Instructions:

  1. First of all, hard-boil the eggs and leave them aside to cool.
  2. Take one of the small unicorn horns and put a tiny amount of superglue on it. Carefully stick it to the egg.
  3. Now, take some flowers and stick them around the horn. Be careful not too overdo it though – the horn mustn’t be obstructed!
  4. Carefully stick the eye stickers or draw them by hand using a black marker.
  5. Repeat until you have the amount of eggs you need.

Easy, right? Try it yourself!

Our next tutorial is just as sweet and even easier to make! Your family and friends will love these cute pineapple eggs:

three eggs painted in white, and decorated with many light green paper leaves, to look like pineapples, dying easter eggs, placed inside a grey cardboard egg box

What you’ll need:

  • Several hen’s eggs
  • Yellow egg dye or food colorant
  • A sheet of light green card
  • A pair of scissors
  • Glue

Instructions:

  1. Boil the eggs and dye them, following the instructions on the colorant’s wrapper. Once done, leave them aside to dry.
  2. Use the scissors to cut leaf shapes in different sizes from the green crafting paper. You will need about 15 for each egg.
  3. Take a colored and dried egg and carefully stick the leaf cutouts, one by one, on its top, forming a circle.
  4. Stick more leaves, until you are satisfied with the results.
  5. Voila! Your Easter pineapple eggs are ready!

If you don’t have any food colorant on hand, you can paint the eggs using acrylic paint and a brush

How about making some tiny egg hamburgers?

hamburgers made from eggs, painted with markers and decorated with colorful paper, placed on white and red chequered paper, dying easter eggs, plastic condiment bottles, and fake packets of chips nearby

What you’ll need:

  • Hardboiled eggs
  • A sheet of yellow paper
  • Green crepe paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Red and brown markers
  • White permanent marker

Instructions:

  1. Take a hardboiled egg and use the brown marker to draw a thick line around its middle. This will be the “meat” of the hamburger.
  2. Then, use the red marker to draw the ketchup – a thinner line above the meat.
  3. Cut some small triangular shapes out of the yellow card to act as cheese. Carefully stick one or two exactly where the brown and red lines meet. This way it will seem the cheese is between the meat and ketchup.
  4. Cut a strip of crepe paper, long enough to go around the egg, and carefully stick it above the red line, so it looks like lettuce.
  5. Finally, draw some sesame seeds on the upper part of the egg, using the white permanent marker.

The necessary materials:

brown and red markers, dying easter eggs, a sheet of yellow paper, a roll of light green paper, a pair of scissors, two brown eggs,

  • Pink paint or food dye
  • Black and orange markers
  • White permanent marker
  • Masking tape
  • Scissors

Instructions:

  1. Boil the eggs and dye half of them pink, using paint or food dye. Leave the rest white.
  2. Cut the birds’ heads and necks out of the white and pink card, then use the black, orange and white markers to color-in their beaks and draw their eyes.
  3. Now, cut out the wings, making several tiny incisions at the tips to simulate feathers.
  4. Stick the necks and wings on the eggs using masking tape.
  5. Ready!

  1. Boil the eggs and leave them aside to dry and cool off.
  2. Place them inside the wafer cones.
  3. Put a tiny bit of topping on top of each egg.

Glitter is always a popular choice, especially when it comes to dying Easter eggs! Here is an easy tutorial that we really love:

hand holding an egg, half dyed in sparkly purple, half left white, coloring easter eggs, with a half-removed piece of washi tape

What you’ll need:

  • White eggs
  • Glitter in your preferred colors (we went with different shades of purple and green)
  • Washi tape
  • Spray glue

Instructions:

  1. Boil the eggs and leave them aside to dry.
  2. Once they have cooled off, stick a strip of washi tape around the middle of each egg.
  3. Pour some glitter on a plate.
  4. Spray the upper part of the egg with glue and roll it into the glitter.
  5. When you are sure that the entire upper part of the egg has been completely covered in glitter, put the egg aside to dry.
  6. Remove the washi tape and then repeat the process until you have as many eggs as you need.

Dying easter Eggs with glitter is fun and easy! All you need is some washi tape…

Use moss and feathers for a refreshing, nature-inspired look!

 

What you’ll need:

  • Plastic, wooden or boiled eggs
  • Moss (can be purchased at most art supply stores)
  • Sting
  • Crochet lace decorative ribbon
  • Quail feathers

Instructions:

  1. Take one egg and wrap it in moss, ensuring their whole surface is covered.
  2. Choose a feather and place it in the middle of the egg.
  3. Cut a piece of string and tie the feather to the egg

You can use a different decoration for each egg – crochet lace, burlap ribbon or anything else that will add a nice rustic touch.

 

 

 

Decoupage is another great way of decorating Easter eggs!

You may remember that we covered the basics of decoupage in one of our recent articles. The process here is very similar but we decided to substitute decoupage glue with well-mixed egg whites. This will insure that your eggs remain edible, even after being decorated!

What you will need:

  • Hard-boiled white eggs
  • Paper napkins with your preferred design
  • Large brush
  • The whites of  2-3 eggs

Instructions:

  1. Mix the egg whites in a bowl.
  2. Remove the thin top layer of a napkin.
  3. Take a boiled egg and cover it with the napkin’s top layer.
  4. Using the brush, spread some mixed egg whites onto the napkin-covered egg, smoothing its surface.
  5. Cut off any excess bits of napkin.
  6. Leave to dry.

Delicate and beautiful, these decoupage eggs are pleasing to the eye and safe to eat!
