Easter is simply unthinkable without colorful Easter eggs. Traditionally, chicken eggs are colored monotonously. Previously, they were all just colored red and given away on Easter Monday. Today people resort to other “classic” colors such as yellow, green, blue and gold. If you like it a little more creative and especially if children are taking part, you can also add a nice motif to it. Easter eggs can be colored very imaginatively and using almost any means such as different colors, stickers, stamps and other utensils that you have in the household. Even if you don't have much time and you have to do it really quickly, there are great and very simple ideas you can do. The will is there, but the inspiration is missing? We have chosen the 10 most original DIY projects.
Letters instead of patterns for colorful Easter eggs
Currently, less is often more and a reduced look is even more chic. Easter eggs can also be decorated in a contemporary way according to this motto. If you're painting colorful Easter eggs this year, you can opt for patterns instead of patternsLettersor even decide on entire words or messages. For example, individual letters can be applied to the eggshell using stickers that are stuck on before dyeing the eggs and then removed afterwards. Alternatively, a similar effect can be achieved with black felt-tip pen or acrylic paint. Beautiful handwriting is required.
Simple version with gold shimmer
Great, effective Easter eggscan be designed in no time at all, even without using bright colors. For this Easter DIY project, we recommend using white chicken eggs. This means that the decorative elements come into their own better. As a beautiful accent, small plastic figures are glued directly to the eggshell, which has been previously colored gold. You can also use other metallic colors such as silver, rose, etc. The little figures can also be rolled around in glitter.
Decorate in pastel colors and gold leaf
Metal look and metallic colors are very popular at the moment. They can also be wonderfully integrated into the Easter decorations. For example, like in the previous DIY project, where you add small shimmering accents or you can mainly use the Easter eggsdesign in gold. You shouldn't completely forego bright colors.
Now the Easter eggs are dyed as usual. When the surface of the egg is completely dry, you can proceed to gilding it. For this you need gold leaf or copper leaf or silver leaf etc. as desired and a special adhesive – Mixition. You can get everything you need at the craft store. For gilding to be successful, the surface should be free of grease and dust. Then apply a thin layer of the adhesive. After about 20 - 30 minutes it will be dry but still sticky. Then you take a piece of gold leaf, place it on the eggshell and smooth it out.
Pastel colors and decoupage
Pastel colors are a hot trend that has completely taken over the fashion and design industry in general. The gentle nuances are particularly popular in spring because they provide freshness and also look extremely natural. Pastel tones can also be used in Easter decorations and when painting Easter eggs. The effect can be achieved either with conventional egg paints by simply dipping the eggs into the paint for a shorter period of time, or you can use other coloring materials, such as acrylic paints.
The colored eggs can be beautifully decorated using the decoupage technique or napkin technique in a particularly original and also very easy way. You cut out any motifs or patterns and stick them onto the eggs using a suitable glue.
“tattoo” white Easter eggs
This decoration looks extremely original and creative for Easter. Water-soluble stickers, also known as water tattoos, are used. It is also best to use white chicken eggs for this and clean them thoroughly before decorating. Then you take the sticker, put it briefly in lukewarm water and then attach it directly to the eggshell. Use a damp sponge to wet the back of the sticker until the carrier film separates from the motif and you're done.
Decorate Easter eggs with washi tape
If you have to do it really quickly, you can simply put stickers on the Easter eggs. However, this is not particularly creative and not very original. The standard and definitely boring stickers can be replaced with colorful washi tape. There is also a huge selection of colorful decorative tape and there is sure to be a motif to suit every taste.
The bright and colorful washi tapes can be used to create beautiful geometric motifs on the eggshell. It is also recommended to use white eggs to make the decoration stand out better.
Colorful Easter eggs with eye-catching patterns
While some people like a reduced look, for others the motto is: the more, the better. This DIY colorful egg project is for those who like rainbow colors and colorful prints. In addition to the boiled eggs, white ones if possible, you need vinegar, shaving cream and acrylic paints in any shade that can be combined well with each other. You can also use felt-tip pens for further decorations such as patterns and prints.
Now you put about a cup of shaving foam into a larger container and then sprinkle it with acrylic paints. Then carefully stir the shaving foam color mixture so that the colors mix nicely with each other, but the mixture should not be uniformly colored. Now roll the white boiled eggs very well in the foam and leave them on the side for a while. After 15-20 minutes you can easily wipe off the foam with kitchen paper. Finally, beautiful color gradients should be created.
