Painting and decorating Easter eggs has been a favorite family tradition for generations. Besides real eggs, you can also create beautiful spring decorations with plastic, wood, paper, yarn, or polystyrene eggs. We have gathered 20 ideas for how to make and decorate Easter eggs. So warm up the glue gun, or put the eggs on to boil.
Make Easter eggs and decorate the house beautifully

We start our collection with projects for real eggs. They have a special charm, but they can be fragile for small children, so natural dyes are a lovely option. Fruit and vegetable peels, herbs, tea, and dried hibiscus can tint eggs in subtle shades; with hibiscus, gray eggs can even resemble small stones. For beautiful patterns, use lace, old silk ties, nylon stockings, leaves, or fresh herbs.
Decorating Easter eggs with different techniques

If you prefer decorating artificial eggs, we have plenty of ideas for you. Styrofoam, wood, and paper are excellent materials. Polystyrene is inexpensive and light, so the finished eggs can be placed almost anywhere, hung as ornaments, or arranged on spring branches in a vase.
