6 Gorgeous, Outside-the-Box Easter Egg Ideas

I first boiled the eggs in water with a splash of vinegar to remove the wax coating on the eggs. I then painted most of the egg with black acrylic paint, making sure to keep my fingertips at the top and bottom of the egg to hold it steady. I dried the wet paint with a blow dryer to speed things along. You might need to touch up the top and the bottom of the egg.

I drew a heart lightly with pencil and painted it in with glue. While the glue was still wet, I sprinkled on the pink glitter. It’s my favorite!

This is another favorite: I splattered so much paint around my kitchen to achieve this look. Jackson Pollock would have been proud. I found using toothbrushes gave the best results. This is my kid’s favorite Easter egg decoration by far.

I created this simple striped look by using black nail polish. Worked great!

Last is the star of the pack. Without measuring, I placed dots around the egg using puff paint. Just when the dot was about to dry, I poked the puff paint top to give the bubble a sharp-like point and create a dramatic effect. I had to put it centerstage.
