How do you prepare eggs for decorating?
Easter is only a few weeks away! If you’ve already prepared a range of unique Easter-themed snacks and recipes, you can now concentrate on decorating your home or backyard—or wherever you’ll be celebrating—for the holiday. Having Easter-themed decorations and trinkets strewn about the house will welcome your guests with the Easter holiday atmosphere, making this day unique and memorable. And what better way to decorate every nook and cranny of your house than with a variety of colorful Easter eggs? Here’s how:
For hard-cooked eggs, place the eggs in room temperature water. Then bring to a boil then turn down to a low boil for 12 minutes. Remove from stove and let cool before decorating. Finally, refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking and use within a week. Use a food-safe dye and work with chilled, hard-cooked eggs while decorating the eggs.
For hollow eggs, It’s a good idea to “blow out” your eggs before decorating them if you want to put them on display. With a pin, poke a hole on each end of a raw egg, the largest hole on the large end. With the pin, break up the yolk on the inside of the egg. Blowing through the small end of the egg, blow the egg through the large whole. Wash egg and let dry before decorating.
How do you decorate real Easter eggs?
When it comes to Easter, eggs are a must-have, whether in a recipe or for décor. During your Easter celebration, you can do a variety of activities with these colorful Eggs, including an Easter egg hunt, Easter egg painting, and more! You can decorate your eggs in a variety of ways, including using store-bought decorating kits or craft tools such as crayons, glitter, stickers, paint, and ribbon. Here are more unique and creative ways on how to decorate your Easter eggs:
- Easter Egg Tree – This one will show you how to use your colorful Easter eggs in a creative way other than distributing them around your house and yard. Gather some branches from your garden or from your local florist to construct an Easter Egg Tree, and hang some eggs on it! The various colors of the eggs will be a pleasing sight to behold.
- Easter Egg Flower Box – Do you have a vase or a flower container that is empty? Why not turn it into an Easter egg flower box? All you need is some artificial grass and some colorful coloured eggs to complete the look!
- Pressed Flower Easter Eggs – Flowers can be used to add more touches to your Easter eggs. With a flat paintbrush and glossy Mod Podge, glue a set of dried and pressed flowers, buds, and leaves to the egg’s surface.
- Washi Tape Easter Eggs – Do you have a stash of washi tapes laying around the house? If that’s the case, go ahead and try it on your Easter eggs!
