(1) Chinoiserie Eggs
If you're looking for a batch of homemade eggs to match your whimsical Blue Willow china, then this DIY egg design is for you. Start by cutting out floral shapes from your paper napkins. Separate the two-ply napkins and just use the top layer for this project. Brush a thin layer of matte Mod Podge onto the section of egg you are starting with. We like having space between the floral napkin cut outs, rather than wrapping the egg with one big piece of the napkin. Place the cut-out napkin piece on the Mod Podge and smooth out with your finger. Then brush a thin layer of Mod Podge on top. Repeat these steps until your egg is covered with your pattern. Let dry.

(2) Silk Tie Dyed
Use 100% silk ties to wrap your eggs and boil them until the patterns and colors transfer. Put them all in a pot and cover them with water. Add 1/4 C vinegar and bring it to a boil. After about 20 minutes you can remove the eggs and set them in a colander or on a towel to dry and cool. Once they’re cool enough to handle you can remove the fabric.

(3) Glam Eggs
Add texture and dimension to your Easter eggs with embossed designs. Use rubber stamps, lace, or even textured fabrics to create intricate patterns on the surface of the egg. Simply press the chosen material onto the egg and secure it in place with a piece of nylon stocking before dyeing.
Add a touch of sparkle to your eggs wth glitter or rhinestones. Apply a thin layer of glue to the egg and then sprinkle glitter over it, or use tweezers to carefully affix tiny gems in intricate patterns. These glamorous creations will surely catch the eye and add a festive sparkle to your Easter decor.

(5) Botanical Prints
Embrace the beauty of nature by decorating eggs with delicate botanical prints. Simply gather small leaves, flowers, or herbs and secure them to the egg with a nylon stocking or pantyhose. Dye the egg as usual, then remove the botanicals to reveal intricate patterns left behind.

(1) Marbled
These marbled eggs use one of our favorite beauty products: nail polish. To make them, simply add room temperature water to a disposable plastic container and pour in a few drops of nail polish. Feel free to mix up different colors of polish (we used blue and white here) and swirl with a plastic fork. Drop in one egg and give it a swirl or two before lifting out and placing on your drying carton. Repeat with the remainder of your eggs, adding a few more drops of polish to the water as necessary between eggs.

(3) Speckled Dyed
Rice is most definitely a favorite starch among Southerners, and it just moved even higher on our list with this DIY egg decorating tip. If you are looking for a speckled Robin's egg look, rice will be your best friend. Fill a sealable plastic bag partway with rice, then add 10-15 drops of food coloring, seal, and shake. Add the egg to the bag and shake again. Just be sure to dye your egg a solid color first if you are looking for a brightly pigmented egg or contrasting base color.

(4) Baking Soda
All you need is vinegar, gel food coloring, and baking soda for Easter eggs that are a little more stylized than the dipped kind. You're not far off if those materials give you flashbacks to science-fair volcanoes. This fizzing combination of baking soda and vinegar distributes the food coloring into a graphic pattern reminiscent of tie-dye.

(5) Natural Dyeing
Kick the chemical-containing colors to the curb and make your own natural Easter egg dye—you can get pretty hues using ingredients you already have in your kitchen, like onions or grape juice. And no matter what type of dye you use, follow these tips to make sure your Easter eggs are safe to eat.
