Natural dyes for Easter eggs you can find right in your kitchen, but the most effective will be powdered spices with distinct pigments, such as turmeric, beets, raspberries, spinach, chokeberry or leeks. If you are creative, you can always combine several different spices and see what happens. The important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process.

4. Fabergé eggs
Peter Karl Fabergé, a Russian goldsmith, designed about 50 Easter eggs for Russian emperors in his collection. There are several ways you can make your own a version of glamorous eggs in the style of Fabergé. Plastic, wooden, whole or hollow eggs, the choice is yours. The easiest way is to use a hot glue gun. Choose the base and the desired color of the Easter egg and dry it. Carefully squeeze out the amount of glue and apply cotton strips, beads and other decorations to the eggs.
5. Wax pastels and water crayons
If you have little ones, then you definitely have wax pastels. Due to the fatty texture they contain, they are ideal for coloring eggs. Boil the eggs and start drawing on them while they are still hot. The pastel color will melt, and you will create eye-catching and completely different eggs with different shades. Watercolors are another way to design personalized eggs, and all you need are thin brushes and a little skill.
6. Ombre Easter eggs
If desired, pour a couple of tablespoons of food coloring into a shallow bowl. Take the egg in your hand and dip it in the paint with the lower part and hold it for about one minute, longer if necessary. We take the eggs out and cover them with double the amount of water and dip the eggs to the bottom again to get a different shade.
7. White corrector or black pen
Depending on which eggs you buy, you can decorate them in no time in a minimalist style without water or dyes. Brown eggs look great if you decorate them with a white concealer in a pencil. Eggs with a white shell will be effective if you decorate them with ornaments, dots and geometric shapes in black or other colors.
8. Napkins and egg white
You must have tried this technique as a child. Decorate simple and different Easter eggs with using a napkin with the desired pattern and egg white by separating the decorated napkin sheet. In the meantime, beat the egg white, cover the egg with a napkin and spread it with the egg white so that the napkin sticks and let it dry.
9. Spray painting
Gold and silver Easter eggs look elegant and you're done decorating in no time. It is available in specialized stores wide range of colors available, among which metal ones are especially sought after, as they give the eggs an antique - restoration touch. Attach dry flowers to the top of the egg with glue for finishing touches.
10. Marble pattern
Paint the eggs with paint and dip a sponge (kitchen or powder sponge) into black or gray paint and tap on the egg that is not yet completely dry to achieve a marble effect.
11. Decoration with markers
These Easter pies are easy and irresistible and won't take much of your time. Eggs you need to blow off steam, wash them with water and let them dry. If you want to fill them with flowers, make a larger opening at the top of the egg. Draw a face on each egg with a black marker. Take a little lipstick in a reddish or pink shade on your finger and tap it on the cheek to get rosy cheeks.
