First you need to prepare the eggs. This is very important for the eggs to be beautiful.

How to prepare eggs for Easter painting
Preparation:
1. It is best to buy white eggs because they take paint better. Eggs must be washed thoroughly.
Usually the eggs are marked with a mark, date of release, and other things. This mark must be washed off, because it will show through any paint.
If it does not wash off with a sponge and warm water, try it with baking soda powder and, as a last resort, table vinegar. This will not cause any harm to the egg, because we act on it in this way for a short time.
Do not press too hard on the egg. Since it is raw, it may crack. The egg must be washed thoroughly. Because only on a clean egg will the paint lie in an even layer.
3. And one more trick. A cotton pad should be moistened with alcohol (if you don’t have alcohol at home, use 9% table vinegar) and wipe the eggs with it. This is to remove grease stains from the eggs from your fingers. We process all the eggs in this way.
Do not forget! When processing eggs, they should be at room temperature.
4. Place the eggs in a saucepan and add a couple of tablespoons of salt to prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking. And fill with cold water so that the eggs are completely covered.
By the way, can you tell old eggs from fresh ones? When we fill them with water, the old egg floats to the top, while the fresh egg remains at the bottom.
5. Let the eggs cook. We will cook on low heat. Of course we will boil it hard-boiled. After they boil, you need to cook for another 7-10 minutes if the eggs are store-bought. If the eggs are fresh village eggs, you need to cook them longer, after boiling for 13-15 minutes.
Don’t forget, when you take the boiled eggs out of the boiling water, be sure to dip them in ice water for a while, this is so that they can be cleaned better later. Just don't refrigerate it at all. The eggs should be warm when painting.
Well, we've cooked the eggs. Now let's move on to their coloring.
How to paint beautiful eggs for Easter
1. Take a hard-boiled egg, wipe it again with alcohol or vinegar and wrap it in a paper napkin or paper towel, do not try to wrap the egg evenly, just wrap it randomly, as if you were crumpling a napkin (do not press too hard, crush the egg).
Pour a little vinegar, as if to get wet, from all sides. Press the napkin (crimp) more tightly onto the egg.
2. Take blue dye and randomly drip it onto the egg. Let the dye spread a little.
3. Take another dye, yellow. Also, in a chaotic manner, apply it to the egg.
4. Take the third dye, ours is red, and just like the first two, apply it to the egg.
5. Squeeze the egg with your palms so that the napkin sticks well to the shell. In this case, the napkin turns out to be one-color, evenly colored.
6. Before painting the egg, we need to make a stand for it. We take an ordinary sponge, stick English needles into it the size of an egg and that’s it, our stand is ready.
7. Place our egg in a napkin with dyes on a stand and let it dry a little.
8. After a couple of minutes, the egg has dried, carefully remove the napkin from it, trying not to smear the paint.
We got such a rainbow colored egg. Place the egg on our homemade stand again and let it dry completely.
How to dye Easter eggs to make them multicolored
1. We will need small but deep plastic dishes. Pour a tablespoon of vinegar into each of them.
2. Pour the dye into each of the containers, a little at first, and then you can adjust it after diluting the dyes with water.
3. Dilute the dyes with water. You don’t need a lot of water, about less than half. You will understand when you see what we will do.
4. Take the egg and dip it 1/3 into the dye. We hold it for about 2 minutes.
5. Take out the egg and blot a drop from below. We leave the egg to dry a little on our homemade stand. Since our egg is warm, it dries out quite quickly.
6. When the egg is dry, dip it into the next dye, again about 1/3, for 2 minutes. We take it out, also blot the droplet at the bottom and set it to dry.
7. Dip the remaining uncolored part of the egg into the third dye. We take it out, not forgetting to wipe the droplet from below, and set it to dry.
This is the colorful egg we got.
How to paint Easter eggs with polka dots
1. Prepare two paints in plastic cups, yellow and blue, a candle, cotton wool on sticks and an egg cup. If you have some paint left over from a previous painting, you can use it. We light a candle. we need melted wax.
2. Dip the egg completely into yellow dye. Let's let it lie there for a couple of minutes, take it out and put it on a stand to dry.
3. The egg has dried out. Take a cotton swab, dip it in the melted wax and randomly apply dots of wax onto the egg with the stick. You can come up with something of your own. Inscription, figures, stripes, etc.
4. Literally let the wax dry for 10-15 seconds and add the egg to the second paint. Ours is blue. You can take any one you like. Let the egg sit in the paint for 2 minutes.
5. Remove from the dye, place on a stand, and let dry. Basically the egg is ready. We can leave it like this.
6. If you want to remove wax from an egg, warm it up a little next to a candle, in no case above the egg, just next to it. The wax melts and can be easily removed with a napkin.
How to paint eggs for Easter with color transition
We will need an egg and dye of the same color.
1. Pour just a little dye into a plastic cup so that it only covers the tip of the egg a little more than a centimeter and lower the egg there vertically with the blunt end down. Leave it like this for 2 minutes.
2. Then use a spoon to add a little more coloring. Depending on how large the egg is and how many rings you want to make of different intensities of color on the egg, calculate how much paint you need to add. We added about 1 cm at a time. We also left it for a couple of minutes.
3. Add more dye and also leave for 2 minutes. And so on until we cover the entire egg, leaving the egg in the dye for 2 minutes after each layer.
After covering the egg completely with dye, let it stand for 2 minutes, remove it from the dye and place it on our stand to dry.
As we can see, all the stripes on the egg are visible. The egg turned out beautiful, with a gradually weakening tone of paint towards the top.
How to paint striped eggs for Easter
1. Pre-color the egg blue. Next we need electrical tape. Cut off 20-25 centimeters of electrical tape and cut the electrical tape lengthwise into narrow strips.
2. Place the tape on the egg in a spiral. You can stick it however you like. You can also make the strip of electrical tape any width you want. In this way we cover the entire egg. Press the electrical tape firmly against the egg so that there are no smudges.
3. This is what we got, covered with electrical tape. We dip it in the pre-prepared red dye, as always, for a couple of minutes. We take out the egg, put it on a stand and let it dry.
4. Our egg has dried, remove the electrical tape. As you can see, there is a blue color left under the electrical tape.
We got this striped egg in a simple way.
Mosaic coloring Easter egg
1. We cut a lot of corners from electrical tape and now stick them on the egg, which was previously painted yellow. We try to glue the corners in the shape of a mosaic. Between the corners we make a gap of approximately 2 millimeters. We lay the corners in random order.
2. This is the glued egg we got. Dip it in red dye to get a roughly orange color.
3. Remove from the dye and place on a stand to dry.
This is the egg we got. Now all that remains is to remove the electrical tape.
How to paint Easter eggs in onion skins
1. We will need onion peels, preferably from red and yellow onions. Eggs with already defatted shells. If you have not degreased them yet, wipe them with alcohol or vinegar. Squares of gauze measuring approximately 20 x 20 cm. Threads for tying gauze, a saucepan. There's a problem with the saucepan. After cooking onion peels, the pan is very difficult to wash, so choose a pan that is not needed or that you paint in every year. Or you will paint it.
2. For decoration, we will add various leaves and figures cut out of parchment so that the eggs are not so boring.
3. The husks need to be placed in a pan and mashed to crush. The size of the pan and the amount of peeling depends on how many eggs you want to dye. Fill the husk with water and put it on the stove to cook for 1-1.5 hours.
4. We begin to prepare the eggs. Take gauze, place a leaf on it, face up, carefully straighten all the ends of the leaf. Place an egg on a piece of paper. Carefully gather all the ends of the gauze into a pile and tighten it, pressing the leaf firmly against the egg. We twist the collected ends of the gauze into a tourniquet, then pull the leaf to the egg and tie it with threads.
5. We also make the following eggs. You can even lay out some composition of leaves on gauze. Place the egg in the center and tighten the gauze again. But for figures made of parchment paper, it is best to dip them in water so that they stick to the egg, and then put the egg in cheesecloth and also gently tighten it.
6. Add salt to the boiling onion skins and place the eggs there.
7. Cover them all completely with husks and let them cook for 10-12 minutes over low heat. Remember that the eggs must be at room temperature, otherwise they will burst.
8. We take the eggs out of the husks and transfer them immediately into cold water to make them easier to clean later.
We cut off the gauze, rinse it with water and see how beautiful it is.
To make the eggs shiny, brush them with vegetable oil. The most convenient way to do this is by pouring a little oil onto cotton pads.
Well, the eggs are ready. They are probably not inferior in beauty to painted eggs.
Original DIY Easter eggs
We took:
- Eggs - 12 pcs.
- Water - 2 liters
- Vinegar - 2 or 3 tbsp.
- Silk fabric (with different patterns)
- Any white fabric
- Rubber bands
1. To color the eggs, we took unnecessary men's silk ties, of which we had a lot. If you don't have unnecessary ties, just take pieces of multi-colored silk.
2. Cut the fabric into squares. Take the egg and place it on the front side of the silk fabric.
3. Wrap tightly so that the fabric does not move around the egg. We twist the resulting tail of the fabric at the top, thus tightening the egg even tighter.
4. Place the same piece of white fabric on top of the colored fabric. We also curl the tail. We secure everything by putting an elastic band on the tail, twisting it several times. We do the same with all eggs.
5. When all the eggs are prepared, put them in a saucepan.
6. Fill with water, add vinegar and put on fire. After the water boils, cook for another 15 minutes. Reduce heat so they don't jump around in the pan. If only they would slowly boil.
7. After 15 minutes, take out the eggs and place them on a dish. Leave on a plate until completely cooled.
8. When the eggs have cooled completely, remove the elastic bands and unfold the fabric. Look at the beauty that appears from under the fabric. In this way we unwrap all the eggs.
These are the most beautiful eggs we got. Surprise your friends. Enjoy yourself.
Very beautiful Easter eggs
1. Take hard-boiled eggs, ordinary colored napkins and egg white. We tear the napkin into 4 parts. Separate the top colored layer from the napkins.
2. Dip the egg into the white and swirl to moisten the entire area of the egg. Place the egg on the wrong side of the napkin and wrap it. We tear off the excess napkin.
3. Dip the brush into the white and grease the egg on top, thus distributing the napkin evenly over the entire egg, while simultaneously pressing the napkin more tightly to the shell.
4. Everything is carefully distributed, the egg is ready. We make all the eggs in the same way. You can take different napkins. Accordingly, the eggs will be different.
Enjoy!
11. Video - 5 ways to decorate eggs for Easter in an original way
It is impossible to remain indifferent to the Easter tradition of painting eggs. However, fashion trends make their own adjustments to such an ancient art form as “painting”. To the traditional techniques are added some that are not entirely familiar, but no less beautiful and original. And in our review - 15 unusual methods that can be adopted.
1. Black and white classics
.
The use of black, a non-traditional color for Easter eggs, gives them special attractiveness and originality. Painting with slate paint will create the effect of a blackboard on which you can draw, write wishes with chalk or a white pencil.
2. Colorful stains
This technique can be called "lazy", or does not require outstanding talent in the field of fine art. It is enough just to dip the brush, press it to the shell and allow the watercolor paint to flow chaotically. Such patterns dry out very quickly. You can also use several colors that will gradually fade into each other.
3. Tattooed Easter eggs
This is an original idea for decoration based on stickers that are “translated” onto the skin and imitate tattoos. This method will attract and delight the child. Funny images can serve as an idea for a game. The principle of transfer is very simple, just press the sticker well, moisten it with water and make sure that the design is completely transferred to the shell.
4. Marble patterns
This unusual method is suitable not only for manicure but also as Easter decor. A good opportunity to give a “second life” to nail polishes, since you can use already dried ones. In order to use this method, you need to pour varnishes into a cup of water one by one and lower the empty shell into it, after securing it on a stick. This way you can remove the finished product without damage and without getting your hands dirty.
5. Embroidered shirt
You can embroider not only on fabric. This technique also uses only eggshells, so you need to prepare them first: remove the contents of the egg and let it dry from the inside. After this, the holes are carefully pierced with special tools. You can use any thread, preferably bright colors, but it is better to choose thinner ribbons. It is worth noting that this is a very painstaking work with a fragile object, and therefore requires perseverance and concentration from the person who will perform it.
6. Golden chic
Decorating Easter eggs with gold elements will add sophistication and satisfy the taste of any esthete. Gold leaf looks impressive both as a main design and as an addition to other decorations. Instead of gold plates, you can take foil, which is used in manicure.
7. “Shell on shell”
To decorate eggs using this technique, you need to prepare an empty white shell, pre-painted. Glue pieces of colored shell onto the white egg, leaving small spaces between them. The resulting mosaic will look great, both monochromatic and multi-colored.
8. A series of colorful characters
From a huge number of drawn characters, you can choose your favorite ones and create colorful Easter eggs. Acrylic paints or gouache are used to paint them. You can create a 3D effect by adding paper elements. Undoubtedly, it is worth involving children in the production, allowing them to show their imagination and the opportunity to create their own character.
9. Decoupage technique
A quick and easy way to decorate. It is perfect for those who have little time and cannot spend a long time fiddling with decorating eggs. The principle is simple: pieces of napkin with a pattern you like are carefully glued to the shell, all wrinkles and irregularities are straightened out. And to consolidate the result, the “pattern” is covered with glue or varnish.
10. "Quilling"
First you need to familiarize yourself with the features of this technology. Strips of paper are twisted and formed into certain patterns, then all the elements are glued together. In this way, you can decorate natural eggs by gluing the shells or create decorative masterpieces.
11. Dinosaur eggs
An original idea for creating dinosaur eggs or mythical dragons.
First option: dip the overcooked egg into the dye. Through cracks in the shell, paint will seep inside, creating a kind of mesh.
Another option: paste sequins or other available materials over the shell, creating a semblance of scales. Lovers of huge reptiles and Jurassic Park fans will love these Easter eggs.
12. Winding threads
This unusual technique involves using floss, iris and other silk or cotton threads for sewing or knitting. You can wind different colors (by gluing the threads in a chaotic order or laying the turns evenly and tightly), first by securing the end on top with a pin or tape. At the end, the “ball” should be greased with glue and allowed to dry. You can complement the result by sprinkling with beads or glitter.
13. The beauty of cereals
Cereals have long been used to decorate Easter eggs, representing symbols of fertility and prosperity. The combination of different seeds always creates an interesting composition. And an additional decorative element can be pasta of various shapes, painted with gold or silver paints.
14. Space decor
It is worth highlighting the unusual way of coloring “space” eggs. This technique attracts attention and takes away from the canons of traditional painting. Creating them is very simple, just take a few dyes and soak a napkin with them, wrap them and leave them for four hours. Adding fluorescent paints will enhance the futuristic effect, allowing the pysanka to glow in the dark.
15. Silk tenderness
Since silk conveys its color perfectly, it is impossible not to use this to create an interesting coloring. As the main material, you can use old ties, neckerchiefs, or simply individual pieces of fabric. Eggs wrapped in silk and topped with a piece of white cloth are immersed in boiling water with vinegar. Thus, a design will be imprinted on the shell, which can be supplemented, for example, by gluing beads, beads, lace, or paper butterflies. It is better to choose a brighter fabric, since the finished pattern will turn out somewhat dull.
Easter is a bright holiday that is usually celebrated with family, and preparation for it unites entire generations. The format of the meeting may change, but the Easter cake and Easter eggs on the holiday table remain unchanged. The art of coloring eggs has its roots deep in ancient centuries, but even today it does not lose its relevance; new, modern methods are emerging. Long-forgotten techniques are being revived, and new ones are being improved. The artist under the pseudonym Eggdoodler surprises with his filigree carving works.
website. Navigator in the world of gifts and souvenirs.
Following an old tradition, we paint eggs for Easter. They will become the main decoration of the holiday table, along with Easter cake and Easter. We will give colored eggs to friends and family.
It is customary to dye eggs on Maundy Thursday. On the same day they bake and do a lot of house cleaning.
Eggs are colored in a decoction of onion peels, birch leaves, beets... and of course food coloring - as you like. Empty eggs are often used to decorate the house - these, of course, can be painted with any colors. These methods are already known to many, but I want to pay special attention to the creation of interesting patterns and color combinations, packaging and decoration of eggs, while using the simplest materials at hand.
First, let's prepare a special board on which it is very convenient to paint and dry finished eggs.
It is very easy to make from a sheet of thick cardboard or foam plastic, measuring 20 x 20 cm. Line the sheet into squares with a side of 2 cm and stick pins into the corners of each square.
Prepare dyes and paper towels, you may also need a candle, tights, tape and lace, it depends on the pattern you choose.
Eggs for friends
You can make bright personalized eggs for your friends. I recommend a very convenient way to create patterns and inscriptions on eggs using wax.
How to do:
Apply the pattern of your choice (stripes, speckles, inscriptions and wishes, you can, for example, make personalized eggs) onto the egg with melted wax using a needle or toothpick (you can purchase a special tool at craft stores). It is not necessary to specifically melt the wax in a saucepan - wax from a melting candle will be enough for several eggs.
After the wax dries, dip the eggs into the dye.
After painting, you need to clean off the wax - the places under the wax will remain unpainted, creating a beautiful pattern on the egg.
Eggs for office colleagues
You can treat your work colleagues with these eggs - we color the eggs, creating patterns using office tape and rubber bands.
How to do:
Before coloring, stick strips of tape on the eggs or wrap them with a rubber band and place them in the dye - the strips under the tape (rubber band) will remain unpainted.
It is better to make such patterns multi-layered - first completely paint the egg in a light tone, then apply wide stripes and paint in a darker tone.
Without removing the previous strips, apply thinner ones on top - color the egg again.
Color eggs even faster with a simple... corrector putty!
Eggs for girlfriends
This technique should already be familiar to you - creating a pattern using plant leaves (for example, herbs: dill, parsley, mint, dried flowers) and tights.
Cut 12 x 12 cm squares from tights. Place an egg in the middle of the square and place the selected plant on it. Pull the edges of the square and tie it tightly - make sure that the leaf does not become deformed.
Dip the resulting egg bag into the paint. Ready!
By the way, in this case, the pattern can also be applied to the already painted egg - creating contrasting combinations.
What do you think of this “glamorous” version of tradition? Hot pink eggs are half-dipped in gold paint
And such marble eggs Your neighbors and aunts will love them.
Color the eggs in a light tone. To create a stylish “marble” pattern, you will need to color the eggs again - in a darker (contrasting) tone, just first add a spoonful of vegetable oil to the coloring solution. The paint will settle unevenly, creating beautiful stains.
Lace painting
Our grandmothers will be delighted with this method - the lace produces a very delicate, twisted pattern.
To create such a pattern, you can use old lace doilies or tulle - wrap the egg in lace and dip it in paint.
Smiley eggs
Emoji eggs are the most emotional eggs! Draw any faces that suit your mood, and you can get inspired by looking at emoji in any messenger.
Easter eggs for designers
For the progressive half of the office, I advise you to try a similar coloring: in the CMYK color model.
CMYK includes the following colors: Cyan (cyan), Magenta (magenta), Yellow (yellow) and Key color (key, black).
Or, for example, make color gradients according to the palette
For this coloring, the eggs are gradually filled with more and more new paint solution.
We pack eggs beautifully
I highly recommend you try the idea with paper baskets. You need to cut out three parts from beige or light brown paper (cardboard): for example, a 10x40 cm rectangle for the walls of the basket, a circle or oval for the bottom and a strip for the handle.
We have already discussed this topic before and even suggested some interesting and extraordinary ideas. Today we invite you to learn how to decorate Easter eggs. In this case, you can decorate eggs either already painted in different colors or not. We would like to give some advice right away: if you are going to eat Easter eggs, you cannot use glue; it is better to use natural glue. If you decide to prepare an egg as an Easter souvenir, then feel free to use glue and other necessary materials. Then in this case you will also need to blow out the egg first.
How to blow out an egg? There is an interesting and effective method. It involves piercing the egg on both sides, breaking the yolk and blowing out all the contents from the back side. To prevent the shell from cracking during work, it is necessary to use construction foam. Especially convenient for those who are currently undergoing renovations. Holes are also made on both sides and foam is introduced into one of them, which slowly pushes the white and yolk out.
When the eggs are prepared, you can start decorating it. And so, 10 ideas on how to decorate eggs for Easter.
1.Easter eggs using quilling technique.
In this method of decorating eggs for Easter, you need to use materials such as strips of colored paper, scissors, glue and an awl. Using an awl and strips of paper, we make various flowers and other elements of the future product, and use glue to fix it all. You can see an example of how to get flowers using the quilling technique. Next, we glue the resulting elements onto Easter eggs.
2. Easter eggs made of foil.
For this method you need: foil of different colors, sequins, varnish marker, boiled eggs themselves. Cut the foil to the required size and wrap the egg in it, smoothing it with a spoon. Next, use varnish markers to apply any design, and you can also add sequins to the design.
3. Easter eggs made of beads.
Easter eggs decorated with beads may seem a little complicated at first glance, but making such an Easter souvenir with your own hands is worth a try. The work requires perseverance and diligence. The following materials are also required: beads of suitable colors, fishing line, scissors, needles for weaving beads, an egg-shaped blank, weaving pattern. You can come up with the drawing yourself, or you can choose one of the options in magazines or on the Internet. To start knitting, you should knit a belt, measure the number of rows on the egg, and then connect the resulting belt on the egg itself. Next, shortening the rows, the tops of the egg are braided. And now a beautiful creation by human hands is ready. Beaded Easter eggs can take pride of place in the interior of your home.
4. Decorating Easter eggs can also be done from buttons, various cereals, newspapers, paper, chocolate dragees, threads or ribbons.
To make these eggs you will need any material you have at home, as well as glue. And let's not forget about our imagination. You can tie a ribbon in the middle of an already painted egg, also sew a bead for decoration, or you can use the same ribbons to completely wrap the egg with it. Easter eggs decorated with ribbons look elegant. 
You can also wrap an egg with threads, but there is another interesting way. Using balloons, make easy Easter eggs, just like making New Year's balls from threads. 
Pieces of newspaper or corrugated paper can be used to beautifully cover eggs in a chaotic manner. You can also add a couple more elements to add special sophistication to the souvenir. 
You can actually create such masterpieces from cereals that no one has ever seen or even imagined. Again, you need cereals (buckwheat, peas, millet, rice, semolina and others), glue and a creative impulse.
5. To decorate eggs for Easter, you can crochet special handbags.
And quickly, and beautifully, and nothing else is needed. This is how DIY crocheted Easter eggs are created. A little thread, a knitting pattern, a hook and half an hour of time.
6. A long-known method to everyone - placing plant leaves on eggs and coloring them in onion skins. 
We have already written about this here. But still, we can safely repeat ourselves and point out that this method of painting eggs can also be considered a special, unique decoration.
7. You can paint Easter eggs yourself acrylic paints. 
To do this, you can use any suitable stencils, plain colored eggs, and paints. By the way, instead of paints, you can take wax crayons or even markers and felt-tip pens. You don’t even want to break Easter eggs, painted with love. Therefore, it is better to immediately use the idea of blowing the contents out of the egg and leave such an egg as a table decoration.
8.
For work you will need: a napkin with a suitable pattern, glue, a brush and a container. First you need to cut out the design you want to put on the egg. Next, separate the unnecessary layers of the napkin, leaving only the design itself. Apply glue to the egg and glue the workpiece. Now, by smoothing and reapplying glue, we make Easter decoupage.
9. Easter eggs in multi-colored shells.
A very interesting way to decorate eggs with children. First you need to color the eggshells and whole eggs. Then glue these shells in a chaotic order using glue or egg white. This mosaic egg looks very funny on the table.
10. Decorating eggs with hot wax.
Eggs painted with hot wax are called specks. Translated from Ukrainian, this means to cover with drops. First, the egg is painted in one color, then hot wax is applied to the eggs in drops, by the way, or in strips, and then the egg is again dipped in paint of a different color. All that remains is to carefully scrape off the wax, or better yet, dip the egg in hot water, and then take out the already unusually colored Easter creation.
Thus, by creating Easter decorations for eggs, you create a holiday at home. Happy Easter!
Multi-colored eggs are a universal symbol of Easter. The tradition goes back to ancient Mesopotamia. Some cultures today are more interested in buying colored or even chocolate eggs, but let's be honest, decorating them yourself is always more fun!
Luckily, there are endless ways and tons of different materials you can use to create amazing Easter eggs. Flowers, ribbons and even an old tie - anything can be used. We invite visitors to experiment and make the eggs exclusive.
Imagine Christmas without a Christmas tree and Easter without colored eggs. It’s very simple and convenient to buy a few egg stickers, but, you see, Easter is a holiday for the whole family. Just as you have fun decorating a Christmas tree, you can also have fun painting.
In this matter, imagination is limitless. For example, take dyed millet and sprinkle it on an egg that has been previously rubbed with glue. If you're concerned about boiled insides, wasting product, you can use the same concept for artificial eggs made from foam or wood, which are sold at craft stores.
Try your hand at wrapping cotton threads around Styrofoam eggs, decorating with flowers cut from old unwanted items, ribbons or decorative trim. Everything you need for this is at hand: glue, a wooden skewer (to support the egg), and look for unnecessary things in the closets or attic. Patience and imagination to you!
If you are a thrifty housewife or just a rag-weaver, then in your wardrobe you will find a pair of stockings or nylon tights that you wouldn’t mind using for the old but interesting method of dyeing eggs in onion peels.
Place various leaves and flowers on the surface of the egg, wrap it and tie it with a stocking so that the leaves do not fall off during cooking. Cook in boiling onion skins. After removing the so-called cover, you will receive eggs with an exclusive floral design.
Do you think you've seen everything? You are wrong. Some craftsmen stun with the art of decorating Easter eggs with embroidery. When embroidering, use a drill to make holes. The eggs are dipped in sodium silicate liquid, which hardens the shell. Beginners saw an empty egg in half and glue it together after finishing; more experienced ones sew right through.
A silk tie will turn Easter eggs into fun colors. This method is less messy than buying a set of stickers or getting food coloring all over your kitchen! First you need to find a 100% silk accessory.
You can buy it at a thrift store. A beautiful tie does not necessarily mean that the Easter egg will look beautiful; the uglier and more colorful the material, the brighter and more fun the result will be. Wrap the egg in a piece of cut-out material, tying the ends with string, and cook for 20 minutes with 1/4 cup of white vinegar.
For craftsmen who know how to use a crochet hook, the example of tying eggs will be suitable. Surely, when making a large item, there were pieces of yarn left, from which you can knit clothes with a minimum of time. Your paints will look very creative.
You can buy a special dye in stores and at the market; the eggs turn out bright and cheerful, but by adding a little water to the diluted mixture, you can create different shades. Do not forget that the eggs must be boiled, and when painting, add 1/4 cup of vinegar.
The easiest way to create unique and colorful Easter eggs is with watercolors. Keep in mind that this is not a permanent painting option, it's just fun and you can do some art with the kids.
Don't forget that the paint washes off easily and also gets your hands dirty. Use watercolor pencils to paint over the wet surface of the pre-painted eggs. Rich and soft lines are great for drawing small elements.
Creating beautiful Easter eggs doesn't have to be difficult or impossible, in fact, you don't even have to paint them! Dyes without dye can also look attractive. Throw an Easter party.
Guests are the most important, true reason for celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Give everyone a non-toxic marker and let everyone try their artistic creativity.
Ordinary adhesive tape, adhesive tape or tape will help you make beautiful and incomprehensible geometric shapes. Cut into thin strips, glue and dip the egg in dye with the addition of table vinegar.
After drying, remove the film, the result will be amazing. Repeat two (or even three!) times with additional colors, make natural dyes from beets, blueberries, carrot juice or other ingredients.
