how to make gorgeous easter eggs

I need to add a quick pause to my Harry Potter Party goodness to share these Easter goodies (you know, before Easter). Stay tuned for more party goodness ASAP.

After our flower-y, beautiful (albeit a bit high maintenance) Easter egg success last year, we decided to take a similar approach to Easter eggs this year.

Except we got smart and grabbed a basketful of reusable chalkboard eggs to use as our ‘base.”

(Piper and I figured that if we were going to cut out all sorts of flowers from magazines and decoupage them to Easter eggs, we’d like to use them for more than one Easter!)

We used the same basic idea as last year’s floral Easter egg masterpieces- cut magazines flowers, decoupaged to eggs, let dry. Gorgeous right!?!

And better yet- ready for years of Easter decorating!
ps- Two posts in one month. Who even am I!?!

chipotle deviled eggs

The best side bonus of dyeing Easter eggs is, without a doubt, the deviled eggs that you get to make to use up all those leftover hardboiled eggs after Easter!

the most beautiful DIY easter eggs

no-dye easter egg ideas

This week we have had a gloriously rainy week. In the desert this is not a common thing, so we are LOVING the week of cloudy skies, warm drinks, soup (more on that later) and crafts! My girls have been itching to dye easter eggs since we got a package from some sweet friends back […]

easter egg countdown (with easter activities)

I want Easter to be a really big deal around here. Since we’re Christians, Easter is (or should be) our biggest holiday, and I want our family to really anticipate Easter together. In fact, every time we hang up our Advent calendar, I think to myself that I should do something similar for Lent (the […]

easter eggs (and three fun egg decor techniques)

Decorating and dyeing Easter eggs has always been one of my favorite Spring family activities. I seriously love it- and loved it even when I was little (our family “Ugliest Egg” competition was no joke). It should come as no surprise, then, that I can sit and dye eggs for hours. I’m not exaggerating. Good […]
