Easter egg decorating ideas

If you are like my family then you look forward to decorating Easter eggs with the kids each year and trying new Easter egg decorating ideas.  I thought it would be fun to give you some Easter egg decorating ideas that won’t break the bank.

All of these ideas are super easy to do and very inexpensive. We like to keep things simple around here while still having tons of fun!

Each year the kids want to do something different, from coloring designs before they dye them to doing a little mod podge (make sure you try our homemade modpodge recipe). I thought it would be fun to give you a post of different ideas that I have found to decorate your Easter eggs this year.

How do you prepare eggs for decorating?

We like to make a big batch of hard boiled eggs. We have a trick for that too. 🙂 You can learn how to hard boil eggs in the oven.

If you have a pressure cooker, try Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs. Both of these ideas work great and allow you to make a large quantity of boiled eggs at once.

You don’t get that yucky hard boiled smell from using the stove top and you can do a lot at once. It is a win-win!

What do you use to decorate Easter eggs?

There are so many ideas from dying eggs with kool aid and shaving cream to painting and more. Keep reading for so many fun and creative ideas to decorate Easter eggs.

Is it safe to paint Easter eggs with acrylic paint?
