5 Great Easter Egg Decorating Ideas

Fun ideas you can do with the whole family

Decorating eggs is a perfect activity to do with the entire family and are an easy way to add a little Easter to any room. There are so different ways to decorate eggs from painting to dying to covering in fabric. Here are my top 5 DIY Easter egg ideas:

Paper-covered eggs 

These eggs from Home Made Simple are so pretty and easy to make.

 Dyed egg garland

What a simple, yet pretty centrepiece idea from Better Homes and Gardens. I love this colour combination, but you can modify it to suit your decor.

 Easter egg tree

This tree from Martha Stewart made using pussy willows is a unique way to display dyed eggs. 

 Subway art eggs

I love this idea from Lil' Luna that is a play on the very popular subway art trend. 

 Striped eggs

I just love the preppy look of these graphic striped eggs from Better Homes and Gardens

Which one is your favourite?! I think I want to try the paper wrapped ones this year. 

For more Easter decorating ideas, check out this article that I was interviewed for in The Chronicle Herald. It was a huge honour to be asked for design ideas from my hometown paper!
