Easter egg with butterfly

That's what you need:

• blown white chicken egg
• neon pink spray paint
• Lace border (about 1.5cm wide and 10cm long)
• white satin ribbon (about 8mm wide and 50cm long)
• Butterfly Scrap
• Decoupage glue
• brush
• thin sticks

That's how it's done:

1. Slide the thin stick from bottom to top through the holes used to blow it out. So you can hold and turn the egg fine. Now spray the egg completely with neon paint, preferably outdoors.
2. Once the paint has dried, lay the lace ribbon around the egg once, so that both ends meet together above the hole. First make a knot, then tie a loop from the ends. Draw a satin ribbon between the egg and the knot so that the egg can be hung.
3. Brush some decoupage glue on the egg, place the butterflies on it and brush over with a layer of glue. Also fix the lace border with some glue. Let it dry.

Dyed green-white

That's what you need:

• chicken eggs
• Basket in green
• Craft colors in white and sap green
• Decorative grass
• daisies
• thin brush

That's how it works:

1. Blow out the chicken eggs and clean them. Brighten green craft paint with white until the desired color is achieved and prime the eggs.
2. After drying the paint, paint the eggs with small flowers or patterns as desired or as illustrated. They are then placed in a basket with decorative grass and decorated with real daisy flowers. Great, what you can do with egg shells, right?

The instructions are from the book "Decoration Ideas: Spring and Easter" (OZ creativ, 12,90 Euro).

Hanging egg vases

That's what you need:

• goose egg
• Cord in pink about 30 cm long
• 2 white pearls (average 0.5 cm)
• tip pliers
• pointed needle
• scissors
• fresh flowers

That's how it's done:

1. Drill a hole in the egg with a needle. Wait for the upper, tapered side of the egg. Expand the opening so you can remove the yolk and egg whites. Rinse the egg with water, so that all Eireste are eliminated.
2. Starting with the hole in the egg, carefully extract small pieces with a pair of pliers until you have an approx. 3 cm opening.
3. Carefully drill a small hole with a sharp needle to the right and left of the opening for the suspension in the eggshell.
4. Thread the cord from the inside to the outside through the two holes. Thread a small bead on the cord at each end. Fix the beads with a knot.
5. Put water in the egg and put in short flowers, eg. B. Ga? Nseblu? Mchen, into it. The vases in the window look very nice. Also on branches and branches, the mini-vases come into their own.

Sweet ideas for original Easter eggs

Easter eggs with rooster motif

The poultry motifs are stamped on, the necessary ingredients to order: stamp with chick motif (4 x 3 cm) 6.55 euros, running and standing cock (6 x 5 cm) per 8.69 euros, Phantasia. Viererset goose eggs for 12 euros at Kirsch Interior. Approximately 28 cm long horn spoon 18 Euro, Mahafaly.

Manual: Prime blown goose or chicken eggs in place with correction fluid in white, where the motif should later be placed. Press the stamp into a black ink pad and gently roll on the primed surface of the ice. Dry the motif and then fix with spray paint (clearcoat, matt).

Easter egg with rabbit motif

The rabbit motif originates from Albrecht Dürer. In napkin technique, a rabbit adorns a paper mache egg. 10 m gift ribbon 9 euros, cherry Interior.

Manual: Paint both halves of a cardboard with acrylic paint in a desired color, possibly twice, if the paint does not cover properly. Let it dry well. Cut out the rabbit or a desired motif from the napkin, hang it in the middle and use the napkin technique.

Elegant easter egg with feathers

Penholder: Wrap eggs with satin, velvet ribbon or silver wire and attach a pretty feather - the feathered Easter decoration is ready.Do you actually know how to make the perfect breakfast egg? Simmer in vinegar - yes or no? Quenching - yes or no? All answers and probably the most important recipe for Easter can be found here: cooking eggs.

Easter eggs with floral patterns

Before staining, small leaves were fixed on the chicken eggs, leaving the area white. Especially nice shot glasses replace the egg cups here.

Manual: You need blown white eggs, a nylon stocking, liquid animal paint (cold paints) from Heitmann and small leaves, for example cloverleaf, ivy or fern tips. Lay a leaf on top of an egg, pull on the nylon stocking and knot it tight, so that no color flows under the leaf later. Mix the color with vinegar (observe instructions) and immerse the egg until the desired color is achieved. The medium green color is created when you immerse the egg once in light green and twice in dark green color. After drying, remove the nylon stocking.

Giant easter egg in zebra pattern

Far away from Africa: The egg comes from the ostrich, the inspiration for the painted zebra pattern from a napkin. To order: An unpainted ostrich egg costs about 10 euros at www.strausseneier.de.

Manual: On a copier, reduce a 33 x 33 cm zebra napkin (paper products) to 50%. Cut out the black areas from the copy, making sure that the white areas stay together in one piece. Stick this stencil one after the other around an ostrich egg with Tesafilm and record the cut out areas in pencil. Because the egg is round, the lines balance something. Paint the recorded areas with a brush and black poster paint. Paint the egg with clear lacquer.

Gilded easter eggs

Eggs, silvered and gilded: Blown eggs or wooden eggs are silvered or gilded with hammered metal (one letter = 25 sheets, each 14 x 14 cm in size, craft shop). To keep it on the ground, you need a conditioning oil (observe drying time on the instructions for use!). Coat the eggs very thinly with the conditioning oil and allow to dry. Divide the silver or gold leaves into small pieces, place them and press with a soft brush and your fingers. Apply a clear coat as protection because metal tarnishes.

Onion Bowls & Co: Dye Easter eggs naturally

It does not always have to be the classic egg colors if you want to color Easter eggs. You can, of course, too ecru or vegetable colors To fall back on. The advantage: The biological colors are guaranteed to contain no toxic dyes, but often the color does not cover quite as well. For example, natural colors for Easter eggs can be found in the health food store and occasionally in the drugstore.

Of course you can also do it yourself from natural ingredients a color broth to produce egg coloring. onionskin are ideal for this brew, for example. They give the eggs an almost golden hue. You need that for that outer, paper-thin bowls of brown and red onions, Boil the onion skins in plenty of water and then cook the eggs in the onion water. Then remove the eggs and put off.

For colorful change in the Easter basket, it makes sure when you with Beets or the juice of elderberries red colors. For green easter eggs you can spinach use, for yellow eggs you take turmeric or cumin seeds, They all conjure a nice play of colors on your egg shells.
