When Easter time rolled around in my childhood home, it meant pulling out the coffee mugs and tiny squeeze bottles of food coloring to dye our eggs.

My sister and I would start off following the recommended “recipes” to get the perfect colors, but we would always end with mixing the dye up and getting a few dark purple or brown eggs by the end.  But we always had a ball!

Nowadays, Easter egg decorating has gotten much fancier and more creative. The possibilities are absolutely endless!

But keeping on the theme of my blog, I rounded up 10 ways to decorate Easter eggs with paper. Whether real, plastic or paper eggs, the results are always lovely!

Bright and beautiful tissue paper covered eggs were created by Fireflies and Mudpies.

My mind is spinning with so many ideas right now! How about printed monograms? Or some decoupaged drawings by my Moose? Kids could even create some portraits of your Easter dinner guests and glue them on your eggs to be used as place cards at your table!

UPDATE: I’ve finally been able to create my own quilling paper eggs! Check them out!

I wish I had time to create them all!

How are you going to decorate your Easter eggs this year? Don’t go without picking up your own paper mache eggs so you can get to work!
