Easter is this weekend - are you ready? One of the best parts of this spring holiday (besides all the chocolate, of course!) is making Easter eggs. As fun to decorate as they are to hide and seek, Easter eggs are a fabulous tradition enjoyed by folks of all ages.

To help add some style to all your simple dip dyed eggs, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite Easter eggs from a few of the best bloggers out there. Try your hand at these clever creations and spice up your Easter basket.

Groovy Galaxies - These Easter eggs are out of this world! As Allison from Dream A Little Bigger explains, all you need is dyeable eggs, paint, brushes and cups to create these celestial beauties. Get the full tutorial here.


Cute Cacti - These sweet creations from Delia Creates have us prickled pink! Green dye, terracotta pots, a fine tip marker and some pink tissue paper come together in an Easter egg that can definitely handle the heat. Get the full tutorial here.


Intricate Indigo - We’re big fans of these marble eggs. The team behind Alice & Lois made them using nail polish, nail polish remover, and water – genius! Get the full tutorial here.


Brilliant Babouchkas - Anyone with eastern European ancestry or an appreciation for eastern European culture will flip over these unique eggs (we did!). Arguably the most adorable on our list, Amaryllis from OhOh Blog has some serious painting skills, so take your time putting these together. Get the full tutorial here.


Terrific Typography - These gorgeous glam eggs will pop in any space and are the perfect platform for all of your Easter puns. Lovely Indeed used printed letters, but if you’ve got a steady hand we’re sure you could paint ‘em on too. Get the full tutorial here.


Sweet Silver & Speckled - A great addition to any Easter tablescape, these marvellously minimalist eggs are simple to create. Erica from Fashion Lush used a toothbrush, some paint and vinegar to create the speckled look (can you believe it?). And the silver eggs are just spray painted. Get the full tutorial here.


Cool Cones - Paint a cute little face on an egg and we’re pretty much sold, but turn that egg into an ice cream cone first? Oh man! We are loving these sweet soft serve creations from Karas Party Ideas. Get the full tutorial here.


We hope you enjoyed these egg-cellent Easter eggs and that you and yours have a wonderful holiday weekend. Tackle any of these ideas? Be sure to share them with us (@HomeShows) on Twitter and Instagram. We love seeing your creations!

We're egg-cited and we just can't hide it (although we have been hiding lots of eggs)! Easter is this Sunday and after what feels like one of the longest winters we've had in ages, we're ready to celebrate this fun holiday and the start of spring. A favorite Easter tradition for many families is dying Easter eggs, and this year to help everyone get in the Easter spirit we've compiled a list of egg-centric decorating ideas for your eggs. Check 'em out below and then get cracking!

Rubber Cement - These little guys are a snap and the finished product looks so cool!


Chalk It Up - This decorating style is perfect for little crafters. Not only do these eggs look adorable, but your little ones will be able to decorate them again and again.

Photo Bomb - This is one seriously clever idea and the results are super cute! Share them with friends and extended family, and have fun hiding them around the house!

Easter Buddies - We're really into these cartoony cartons! You can try the sweet chick, bunny, and mouse seen here or create your own.


Lace 'Em Up - These lace eggs look so delicate and romantic, and the combination of textures really adds a level of sophistication that you don't normally see in Easter eggs. They'll look lovely as part of your centerpiece.


Message In An Egg - Not able to spend Easter with everyone you care about? Use this sweet idea to send some love to those who are far away.

Party On - Let the Easter festivities begin with these party-goers!

Watercolor Us Impressed - Considering how beautiful these watercolor eggs look, they're actually not that hard to make. A few splashes of paint, a marker, and you're done. These fabulous floral beauties will look great as part of your Easter display.


Marvelous Marble - We just cannot get over the look of these eggs! They're so bright and fun, and making them is a blast!

Chubby Bunnies - Crepe paper is the key ingredient to making these little guys and many of Martha's Easter egg decorations. We've hopped on board with this cute idea and think you should too!

Shell Out - We're so into the concept of using egg shells as planters. You can create these small, sweet floral arrangements that fit perfectly on tables and window sills.

Paint Chips - Ok, these aren't actually eggs, but we couldn't resist sharing this charming idea. This Easter garland is super simple to make and looks wonderful; what could be better?


We hope these decoration ideas help make your Easter egg-perience a fun one! From our family to yours, Happy Easter!
