20+ Fun and Creative Ways to Decorate Easter Eggs

It’s almost Easter time, and I’m so excited! He is risen, Spring is here, and it’s wonderful to see the sun again!

Easter is a time full of traditions for many: new Easter dresses, church services, Easter egg dying and egg hunts, photos with the Bunny at the mall… Whatever your tradition choice, you probably look back on the Easter holiday of your childhood with a smile.

One of my absolute favorite Easter traditions I’ve actually carried into my stepdaughter K’s childhood. The Easter Bunny used to sneak in the night before Easter Sunday and hide our baskets somewhere in the house!

I remember one year it took me until 4 pm to find my basket… in the washing machine! It was always such a fun game; it didn’t even matter what was in the basket (though it was usually filled to the brim with candy, of course). The hunt was the most fun.

Another really fond memory I have growing up is dying Easter eggs with the family. We never got fancy with it, but we definitely had a lot of fun.

The WorldWideWeb was barely in existence when I was growing up (Remember when we used to call it that? Like, the days of dial-up…). We didn’t have Pinterest or fancy blogs like the moms nowadays.

How lucky for us, now! I’ve compiled 20+ of the very best ways to decorate Easter eggs I could find. Different materials are needed for each, but one thing remains the same: they’re not nearly as dull as the eggs we made growing up!

I guess you could say these tutorials are to dye for. 😉
