From colorful melted crayons to brightly painted aluminum foil, these twenty unique ways to decorate Easter Eggs will give you the brightest and best eggs at the Easter Egg hunt!
1. DIY Nail Polish Marbled Eggs
These brightly colored eggs from Hello Glow are full of gorgeous, bright colors and are made with nothing more than nail polish!

6. Chinese Marbled Eggs
I love using natural dyes to color Easter eggs! These incredible-looking eggs were made by putting cracked eggs in a tea/soy mixture. Get step-by-step instructions at steamykitchen.com.
7. Dyed Minion Easter Eggs
If your munchkins are mad for Minions these adorable Easter eggs from A Pumpkin and A Princess will have them singing the Banana Song while filling their Easter baskets!
8. Black and White Easter Eggs
These cool eggs from Obviously Sweet were made with nothing more than a black Sharpie marker. From polka dots to stripes, and thick lines to unique designs, the sky’s the limit when drawing on these hard-boiled eggs. You could even use plastic eggs. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
9. Dot Sticker Flower Eggs
So that’s what I can do with all of those leftover stickers! This would work on hard-boiled Easter eggs, plastic Easter eggs, or wooden eggs! Find the instructions at bhg.com.
10. Tie Dyed Easter Eggs
These psychedelic-looking eggs from Fun at Home with Kids are almost too cool for words! Using hard-boiled eggs, paper towels, rubber bands, food coloring, vinegar, plastic bags, and a spray bottle, your kids will have some of the best-looking eggs on the block!

Another creative way to use watercolors and paint brushes from SpoonForkBacon. Use templates or freehand your designs. Whichever way you choose, get ready for a day of fun!
12. Hot Glue Easter Eggs
Creative Connection for Kids came up with a very unique way to decorate their eggs – using hot glue! Parents can help younger kids make designs on the eggs with hot glue. Then dip the eggs in dye, allow them dry, then let your kids peel the glue away. Fun and pretty!
13. Sprinkle Easter Eggs
When it comes to unique ways to decorate Easter eggs, these sweet little Easter eggs from StudioDIY use glue and candy sprinkles like you would put on cookies, cupcakes, or a cake. Speaking of cake, they also look good enough to eat (but don’t).

Loving these bright, colorful, and fun Easter Eggs from Design Improvised! These eggs are so easy to decorate, the whole family can get in on the fun, regardless of their skill level!
20. Doily Stenciled Eggs
Urban Comfort used pieces of doilies as stencils to make these eggs. It’s a fresh take on Easter egg decorating and is so unique! You will dye the eggs with a base color of your choice, then cut out pieces of doilies that you will then adhere to the eggs. It makes such beautiful and intricate designs!

We used Paaz (old school) to dye the eggs, and then I decorated the them using a variety of Sharpies®. They came out quite beautiful.
This article is fabulous! I'm going to bookmark it for next year!
Thank you for sharing.

These are amazing! I've actually never decorated Easter eggs. I'd like to with my son, but I may wait until he's a little older. Although, I bet he'd have fun now. =D
