Easter eggs can also be made suitable for safe consumption if ingestible coloring like food coloring is used while decorating. Here are some really cute Easter egg decorating ideas to help you create your very own collection of pretty Easter eggs.

Cute Easter Egg Decorating Ideas

Sequined Easter Eggs

Decorating eggs with sequins is pretty simple. All you need to do is use blown out eggs (emptied eggs), dye them in your favorite colors and then using glue, paste matching or complementary colored sequins.

It is important to make sure that the sequins are very small in size as large ones will make the Easter eggs look overdone.

Glittered Easter Eggs

If you want to make really simple but attractive looking Easter egg ornaments, you can use glitter dust, glitter pens or glitter paint to decorate them. If you’re using glitter dust for this Easter egg decorating project, all you have to do is simply coat the eggs all over with glue and then sprinkle or roll them in a tray of glitter dust. Decorating Easter eggs using glitter pens is also fairly simple and a lot less messy.

For this project you will need to make a small hole in the top or bottom end of each dyed egg and insert a toothpick or a small skewer as a make-shift handle. Using glitter pens you can draw cute designs and Easter themed motifs like Easter bunnies to decorate your eggs. Similarly, you can also use glitter paint to decorate your eggs by painting them all over in bright colors and adding finer details and motifs using a zero sized brush.

Eco-friendly Easter Eggs

For this eco-friendly Easter egg decorating project you won’t need to empty out the eggs. Wrap the eggs carefully in damp onion skins, then wrap bits of cloth around each of them to secure the skins and then boil the eggs till they are hard boiled.

Once they’re cooled you can remove the wrappings and voila you have naturally dyed eggs in delicious and warm shades of marbled brown with slightly orangey and golden yellow tints. These delectable Easter eggs are not only environment friendly but also perfectly safe for consumption.
