Easter is almost here and this weekend I will [most likely] be decorating a few Easter eggs of my very own. But, we are leaving the dye kits and their bunny-ear shaped dippers at home. It is time for the Easter egg big leagues. These Easter eggs will make every DIY'ers heart pitter patter with DIY joy! For those who are not-so-great at the DIY game, do not fret, there are a couple of these that any skill level can complete with success.
1. Game of Thrones Easter Egg. This Easter egg DIY from P+K last year is still one of my all-time favorites. The timing just works too perfectly to not have a dragon egg for Easter. Really. One of the best things about this one is that you can use not-real eggs and keep it for many years to come. Also, the metal and hot glue make it feel hot like a dragon's egg when you are done. So cool!
2. Natural Dyed Eggs. These are for all those out there who do not enjoy using synthetic ingredients in anything. Yes, these eggs were dyed with natural products, and a food that you have in your fridge! Red onions give these eggs their natural look. For a full color spectrum, you can also use saffron, blueberries, beets, purple cabbage, and carrot leaves.
3. Golden Paper Mache. Martha Stewart just classes up every DIY. These paper mache eggs take two things up a notch. The first being paper mache, obviously; and the second being Easter eggs. This is not your usual kiddo arts and crafts!
4. Sharpie Easter Eggs. That's right people, all we need for these is a Sharpie marker and some serious patience. Doing something like these intricate designs would probably send a person with my patience to a level of crazy equal with Jack Nicholson in The Shining. All those patient people out there can do this and think of me :)
5. Stick Things on Easter Eggs. Maybe you have seen/thought of this before, but finding these was like a Pinterest epiphany. You can paint an egg, then glue things on them for an extra pretty effect! Really, the person who thought this up is on level with that one who invented the wheel.
