2. Face Features

3. Ice Cream Design

Thinking of desserts? You can just imagine them by creating ice cream easter egg designs. If you do not have an ice cream cone, you just paint it on the egg instead. Start with brown eggs to form little cones. Use a copper paint pen to make cone-shaped lines, then use craft paint to adorn the top half and add faces.

4. Pen Stencil

This is an easy egg design. You can create a beautiful art piece with a paint pen. To make the magic appear, you just have to draw anything you want with lots of dots.

5. Sparkly Egg Design

This fancy design is one of the easiest ways to decorate eggs. To prepare the base, you just have to sand it, then apply glue, sprinkle with glitter, and allow to dry.

6. Gold never gets Old

If you want to make your white eggs into an elegant home design, you will never go wrong with gold. Just dye your eggs with neutral colors first, and then you can use metallic gold stickers or pen to make your desired design.

7. Tie-Dye

Eggs can be transformed into tie-dyed foods by first wrapping them in a coffee filter and securing it with a twist tie. Food coloring should be applied randomly on the filter’s surface, and it should be left to soak for a few minutes. Repeat in as many different hues as you desire. Wet the entire coffee filter with a spray bottle, then gently squeeze it to ensure that it fits the egg tightly. Before opening the package and giving it a cold-water rinse, let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

8. Black and White

If you are not into fancy and elegant styles, you may opt to the basic. You can choose if you want the egg base black or white. It does not matter which color is the base, it depends on your preference.

9. Polka Dots Easter Egg Designs

Add some texture to your eggs to make them more 3D. You may either paint the background color and then use puff paint to make the polka dots, or you can dye Easter eggs the usual way.

These emoji-themed eggs will make you smile no matter what kind of mood you’re in. You can also paint whatever emotion you feel while making these Easter Egg designs.

11. Nail Polish Design

The nail polish you will need to get this marbleized appearance is surely in every home. Drop your egg into some water that has been tinted with your preferred color of nail polish- with that simple step, you have created an aesthetic egg.

12. Designing with a Pressed Flower

Gather a profusion of dried and pressed flowers, buds, and leaves before you begin to build these Easter eggs that are inspired by nature. Then use a flat paintbrush and glossy Mod Podge to attach them to the egg’s surface. On top of the flowers or leaves, apply thin coats of Mod Podge and allow them dry fully.

Another simple way to make easter egg designs with pressed flowers is by simply tying it with a jute string or a washi tape.

13. Washi Tape Eggs

Have any washi tape? Who would have thought that your leftover tapes from your high school project can be used to decorate an Easter egg. For a cute pattern, try cutting out geometric shapes from it and sticking them to the eggs.

15. Thread-Wrapped Easter Eggs

How wonderful is the texture of the twine used to wrap the Easter eggs? Using a glue stick, attach twine to one end of a ceramic egg. Next, apply glue and securely coil the twine around the egg, working in sections, until the entire surface is covered.

16. Splatter-Painted Eggs

Add some water to a tiny bowl with a dot of acrylic paint. To paint and fleck paint on eggs, use a small flat-edged paintbrush. The design is more realistic because to its imperfect “splats”!

17. Coat with a Quote

For a unique way to design Easter eggs, add a humorous or motivational message on your Easter eggs using this simple DIY technique.

18. Pastel Colors

Opting to pastel colors is a smart idea. Even without a design, the colors will pop out because of its soft hues that are pleasing to the eyes.

19. Marble Design
