Beginner? Start here! As Eva instructed us, you just take your egg, grab a white wax crayon and draw the image of your choosing. Then dunk your egg in colored water and wait for it to set. When you take the egg out, you'll see your picture peeking through the color!

First, you take your hard-boiled egg and wrap it in a paper towel. You drop different dye colors all over the towel, then spritz it with water until all the color mix together and there's no more white. You massage the colors in, then take off the paper towel and VOILA! You've got a technicolor beauty on your hands.

Pro tip: Don't forget the rubber gloves!

3) GLITTER EASTER EGGS

Hi, Isaboo! For a truly unique way to decorate your Easter eggs, glue paper cutouts of your family, friends or pets onto eggs! (And here’s a fun thought: If you use guest photos, your eggs can double as seating cards!)

7) NATURALLY DYED EASTER EGGS

These eggs may look intricate, but they’re actually quite simple and the kids can help out, too! Camila Alves boiled some blueberries (which believe it or not turn a reddish, purple color!) and strained the berries from the juice. That becomes the dye for the eggs!

These eggs were decorated with nothing more than tinfoil, glue and black paint — literally! Camila just took small squares of aluminum foil and glued them onto the eggs. To get that antique effect, she rubbed a little bit of black acrylic paint on the egg. SO pretty, right?
