Decorating Easter eggs ain't just about tradition, it's a chance to showcase your creativity and reduce waste with a sprinkle of spring charm! This year, give your eggs a botanical makeover by combining colorful backgrounds with pressed flowers. These fancy-schmancy eggs might look like they belong in a bougie art gallery, but I assure ya, they're a breeze to create!
Got Eggshells? Here's How to Empty Them
To keep your eggs looking fresh for years to come, we gotta clear 'em out first. Simply poke a couple of holes in each end with a safety pin or Dremel power tool. Then, blow the yolk and whites out over a bowl, rinse the insides, and let 'em dry. A zero-waste approach that'll save you money, effort, and an obnoxious amount of egg salad!
The Quick 'n' Dirty Guide to Empty Eggshells:1. Make two holes with a thin metal object (like a safety pin or Dremel).2. Hold the egg over a bowl and blow to remove the contents.3. Rinse the egg and let it dry.
Choose Your Color Palette
For a vivid, popping finish to your botanical beauties, go for bright acrylic craft paints or diluted Shanlinly Gel Food Coloring. Or skip the color entirely and let the flowers shine with minimalist, undyed eggs - they can even be funky colors like brown, blue, or green!
Add Pressed Flowers to the Mix
Grab a bunch of small dried and pressed flowers (we went with Nuanchu Pressed Flowers) for that eco-friendly flair. Tweezers help you gently place these paper-thin blooms onto dabs of craft glue on the egg. Let 'em dry, then repeat till your hearts content!
Extend the Life of Your Easter Eggs
Want your decorated Easter eggs to last? Seal that sucka up with a mix of crafts glue and water inside the egg after cleaning and drying it. Use a straw to deliver the mixture and let it dry. Once the glue is dry, add a coat of clear varnish or Mod Podge to the outside. With a little TLC, you can show off your Easter eggs for years to come!
