- Decorate Easter Eggs: decorate hard-boiled eggs that can be adored now and eaten later. There are many ways to decorate an egg, with the most popular being colour dye.
- Colour Dye Eggs: To dye your eggs, put a tablespoon of food colouring and 2 teaspoons of vinegar in cup that is just deep enough for the egg. Add water to about halfway of the cup, then place the egg in. The longer you leave the egg in the dye, the darker the colour will become.
- Paint Eggs: Another way to decorate eggs is by painting. Use watercolour or acrylic paint, with thick brushes best for overall decoration while thin brushes are ideal for painting patterns. Stencils can also be used for precise patterns. The most effective way to paint eggs is by placing it in a cup, decorate one half, leave it to dry and then paint the other side later. Dress up eggs by gluing on craft items such as buttons, glitter, ribbons, and sequins.
