Coloring Easter Eggs

I found these fun ideas for coloring easter eggs on the Better Homes and Garden website, http://www.bhg.com/, hopefully you can try one and it will inspire you to decorate eggs in a whole new way.

Pysanky Eggs:
Pysanky is the Ukranian folk art of waxing and dying easter eggs. To do it just put a pin in the easer of a pencil then use it to dip in the wax and then put on the eggs, then you put it in the dye.
Wax from a crayon works well to if you don't want to work with hot wax.

Candy Eggs:
Take small candy dots and apply them to the egg using a paste made of water and powdered sugar or you can purchase frosting in a can. This gives the dots a 3D effect.

Dots, Dots, Dots:
You can use an easer, a q tip, or a toothpick to put dots on your eggs. Also the toothpick will make flowers. Dip the toothpick in paint 1/4 of the way up the toothpick. Then lay the toothpick on the egg and each time making a petal for the flower.

Stickers:
Put stickers of any shape or letter on your egg before putting it into the dye. When you put it out of the dye take the stickers off, leaving the design behind.

Rubber Bands:
Stretch rubber bands on your eggs before placing it in the dye. When done dying remove rubber bands and drop it in another color to dye.

Bubble Wrap:
Coat the piece of bubble wrap with acrylic paint, then roll the egg over the paint, holding the egg by the ends. Let the paint dry and then repeat with another color.

Aluminum Foil:
First crumple a piece of foil and then uncrumple it. Then coat the foil with acrylic paint. Then gently fold around the egg. Let the paint dry and then repeat the process with another color.

String:
Dip the ends of string in acrylic paint and then sweep the string across the egg. Try different colors of paint and different sizes of string to make different a variety of markings.
