15 Extra Special Ways To Decorate Easter Eggs

Decorating Easter eggs is one of the best and most fun traditions about the holiday. Every one of us gets to be a bit more creative and make something wonderful using ordinary eggs for canvases.

Most of us go the easy route and simply dye the eggs in a large batch in different colors. That is enough, but quite boring, especially when you want to get the kids excited about the holiday.

Putting a little bit more effort and sparing just a bit of your time and you can create true mini-masterpieces on the surface of each egg you decorate, be it real or fake.

To get your Easter imagination going, we made a small list with exceptional ways to decorate eggs. Some are easier and faster to do than others, but all will definitely impress your Easter guest.
