In today’s post: Try out a new egg decorating technique for Easter this year with 33 fun ideas!
Dyeing Easter eggs is one of those holiday traditions I remember LOVING as a kid that I don’t actually love so much as an adult. Sure, the coloring eggs part is fun, but that whole “cups full of dye that could get tipped over at any time on the kitchen table I saved up to buy” part that gets me every time. Kids + dye = Danger, Will Robinson! Don’t worry, I’m not a dream squasher, and so yes, I let my kids color eggs…we just don’t often use dye to do it. There are so many other fun Easter egg decorating techniques, many of which aren’t nearly as messy as dye! Today I’ve gathered up 33 creative ways to decorate your Easter eggs this year.
