Cool ways to decorate Easter Eggs

Prep your eggs
You want your beautiful egg creations to last forever (and not smell stinky), so it’s best if you blow out all the eggy insides (aka the yolk and the white). Step 1 is to clean your eggs—wash them in a solution of 1 cup vinegar and 2 tbsp baking soda. Once they’re clean and dry, you’re ready to blow them out. Watch here to see the easiest way to blow out eggs. 


Colour block
Dye your egg a base colour (you can use the dye you get from the boxed Easter egg kits or food colouring) and let dry. Then dip your egg in a second colour. For a more saturated colour, allow it to fully dry between dips.



Mini galaxy
Paint your egg black. Then sponge paint layers of blue, purple and pink. Allow layers to dry in between and go easy on the paint (less is more). Finish by splattering white paint on the surface—a stiff paint brush or toothbrush will do the job. Make sure to cover all your surfaces or you’ll be in for a big mess.



Food colouring
In a small bowl of water, add 1 tsp of white vinegar and a few drops of food colouring. Use a spoon to completely submerge your egg until it reaches the desired shade. Pat it dry with paper towel.


Tinfoil tie-dye
Place a coffee filter on a sheet of tinfoil. Add drops of food colouring or a splatter of paint to the coffee filter. Place your egg on top and wrap it all up in the tinfoil. Leave it for 10-30 minutes, unwrap and allow to dry. Ta-da, you have an awesome Easter egg with NO MESS involved! #winning
