Easter, a well-known religious holiday, involves the distribution and consumption of numerous Easter or Paschal eggs, which, alongside other spring symbols like bunnies, chicks, and lilies, symbolize rebirth and renewal, marking the celebration of Easter.
Decorating eggs with dye and paint has been a tradition since the 13th century. Families today continue this custom by painting hard-boiled eggs for Easter, adding a meaningful touch to their celebration. Here are some ideas for decorating Easter eggs.
Polka Dots
One of the most common themes on children's clothing, toys, furniture, and craft ideas is that of randomly or evenly spaced polka dots.
Purchase circular stickers to apply to the eggs before painting them. Once the paint dries, peel off the stickers to reveal a clean, round patch. Alternatively, paint the entire egg with a base color, then add polka dots using a fine art brush once dry.
Stripes
Vertical or horizontal stripes adorning the Easter egg are definitely a pretty sight to see. Use a base paint to cover the egg after which you can use a fine art brush to complete the detailing.
Marble eggs look elegant and have a glossy shine, making it even more attractive. Start with submerging the eggs in a base color; once dry, use a darker shade to get the perfect effect.
Marble
Think bright, think pretty, think neon. It's spring time, and neon colors are definitely in. Use the dip-dye technique to coat all the eggs with neon colors to look pretty at your Easter table.
Neon
Pastel
Unlike bright neon eggs, pastel shades offer a softer, lighter contrast. Enhance them with delicate, hand-painted designs.
Glitter
Upgrade from regular-dyed eggs by adding shimmer with powdered glitter. It's easy to use and available in various colors for mixing and matching or creating new shades. Brush craft glue over the shell and dip into the glitter for a dazzling effect.
Gather your sequins and beads and get creative! Use hot glue to adhere the beads and sequins on the egg shell after blowing and drying the eggs. Once it dries, you'll have a sparkling Easter egg that is ready to shine.

Artistic
Here's for the artist in you. Use up your talent to create masterpieces of Easter eggs. Weave an intricate story with each egg telling a brand new tale.
You can alternately use leaves, petals, or even vegetables dipped in paint to get a print on the egg shell.
Creative
Let your creative juices flow and you are sure to come up with ideas that will make a unique egg. You can use musical notes, laces, feathers, and other decoration items.
Besides, you could even use cake icing on chocolate eggs to make it even more attractive. Let's not forget the power of origami―you can create rolled flowers and leaves to adorn your Easter egg.
Knit and Yarn
Crochet egg pouches or knit covers make interesting, yet fascinating Easter egg decorations.
You can craft tiny hoodies or even bonnets to don the Easter eggs. Too bored to knit? Simply use colorful yarn to cover the egg shell.
Abstract
Use random colors and different paint styles and strokes to create an abstract work of art. You can even use multiple ideas to decorate an egg.
