Easter Egg Decor and Dye Ideas

by Sandra Williams

Easter eggThis is a decoupage egg I made by simply mixing half white glue and water, soaking the pic for a couple minutes and gluing it onto the egg.

It would be easier to use a smaller circular picture so you wouldn’t have those little bungles but I still think it’s cute. I got the idea from Family Fun’s Arts and Crafts page.

Dye eggs naturally

There are many things you can use to dye eggs naturally. Here are some ideas to get you started.

  • Beets for pink
  • Coffee for brown
  • Paprika for orange
  • Raspberries for red
  • Turmeric or mustard for yellow
  • Blueberries for blue
  • Grape Juice or wine for purple

Easter Egg Shell Project Idea

What to do with the eggs later? Sherri from Family Crafts explains how to make an Egg Shell Mosaic on poster board. It sounds fun and it’s a wonderful way to recycle all those dyed eggs into another work of art.

    I also like to use onion skins or purple cabbage. The yellow skins make a light coral color and the purple cabbage makes a pretty purple. I think you have to add vinegar to the boiling water though to help release the natural color.

    Hey Karen, thanks. I have heard of that but never tried it.
