Easter is filled with fun family activities and Easter traditions, but for us, decorating Easter eggs takes the (bunny-shaped) cake. Whether you'd like something simple to add to your Easter decor or are looking for an over-the-top idea to win the family contest, we've got you covered with dozens of ideas. You can use a store-bought dye kit or natural egg-dyeing techniques to color the eggs, but you'll need to raid your craft bin for some accessories.
Love vintage dishes? In this list, you'll find the cutest Easter egg decorating ideas that mimic the look of transferware, spatterware, jadeite, lettuceware, and yellowware, too! And for the Swifties in your life we have a slew of eggs that correspond to each album!! With so many fun options, a friendly egg decorating competition between the adults and kids at your Easter celebration might just be in order.
Finally, if you’re looking for alternatives to decorating hardboiled eggs, there are few options available. You decorate “blown” Easter eggs, which are quite delicate but will last for years (find instructions in idea #15). Or you can forgo natural eggs entirely. With a coat of paint instead of dye, papier-mâché eggs, wooden eggs, or foam eggs will work just fine for a lot of these Easter egg decorating ideas. And if you find yourself on a roll, we've got many many more Easter crafts for you to try!
