10 Ways to Decorate Easter Eggs with Paper

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!
