Grown-Up And Stylish Ways To Decorate Easter Eggs

Decorating Easter eggs is always a fun thing to do, but it’s often thought of as a kid’s activity. The truth is, there are many stylish ways you can elevate humble eggs into stunning table décor this Easter. Here are easy DIY ideas.

Neutral Is Always In Fashion

Something as simple as painting white lines around an egg can be a chic way to present Easter eggs during the holidays. If you want something else instead of stripes, try dots or chevrons. You can make them small so they don’t need too much of a steady hand.

You can make your own eco-friendly food colouring with fruits and vegetables! Check out this food colouring guide. As for any paints you need for decorating your eggs, check out Natural Earth Paint that offers paint kits that are non-toxic and filled with natural, organic ingredients.

Dye ’N Dust

Dye an Easter egg in some food colouring, then allow it to dry. Afterwards, add a touch of gold by dipping a small paintbrush in gold paint and then spraying it onto the egg. This takes an ordinary dyed egg and gives it a fabulous makeover.

Flower Eggs

Easter eggs can be fun or really a work of art, and this tutorial for botanical Easter eggs is the latter. Make your Easter eggs look chic by painting them black, and leave them to dry. Once dried, use a pencil to draw flowers and leaves onto the eggs. You might want to find some beautiful sketches of flowers online and then copy them onto the eggs so you keep them looking stylish. Once you’re done, paint the flowers in a variety of colors. Red, yellow, and white work especially well to make the eggs look elegant.

Silver Stunners

If you really want to give your guests something they’ll write home about, give your eggs a silver crackled effect. You’ll need a plastic egg for this one, though. Take some tinfoil and cut it into small pieces, then cover the egg with them. Make sure to glue them on so they stay put. Then, dip a piece of paper towel into black paint and rub it onto the foil before rubbing it off. You want the black paint to seep into the spaces and creases between the tinfoil pieces, not cover the entire egg. You might have to do this process more than once to get the desired crackling effect, but it’s so easy and looks amazing!
