I have collected 10 different and fun ways to color your easter eggs for a fresh Spring table. Enjoy!
1. Foiled Eggs
Who knew the fabled golden egg could look so cool! Colorfully dyed eggs get a bit of bling from gold or copper foil, and while the look is luxe, the foil is surprisingly affordable. Also the copper is one the most popular trends in decoration since last year.

6. Glitter Easter Eggs
Add a little sparkle to your Easter! To make this easy Easter egg idea, simply mix glue with glitter that matches your dyed egg and paint on with a small paintbrush. The glue will dry clear, leaving just the glitter visible.
7. Leaf Print Eggs
Instead of opting for the classic egg-dyeing technique this Easter, turn a new leaf with this reverse-stenciling method.
8. Aqua Ombre Egg
A minimalistic yet beautiful design created just through the dyeing process. Fully submerge the egg into the dye and lift out when you achieve the desired starting shade. Then lower the egg 2/3 into the liquid and hold until the egg color has darkened. Repeat again, but lower the egg 1/3 into the liquid to get the darkest shade at the bottom.
9. DIY Chalkboard Easter Eggs
You don’t even need watercolors for this project.
