2. Glitter and gloss
If blinged out is more your style, all you need is some glue and extra fine glitter. Apply a coat of glue on the plastic or wooden egg and then dust the egg with the glitter of your choice to create these sparkling beauties.

3. Do the bunny hop
Easter bunny eggs make for adorable decorations and are so easy to make. For a bunny egg cut out the ears and feet using with felt or card paper works just fine, add a pink pom pom for the nose and use a marker to draw the eyes and whiskers. And you’ve got yourself and adorable little Easter egg bunny!

4. Bite into a marbled egg
These gorgeous marbled eggs are made using a hardboiled egg, once the egg has cooled down gently tap the eggs to crack the shell [not too hard you wants small cracks all over the egg].Then dip the eggs in food coloring and let them dry. Once they’ve dried pull off the shell and you have a lovely marble finish!

5. Minion Lovers
Drip half an egg in yellow food coloring, once dry dip the other half in blue coloring. Stick on a couple of eyes and ink out the lips and spectacle straps with a marker and you’ve got a cute egg minion!!
