Decorating Eggs This Weekend? Try One Of These Methods

Easter is almost here.  If you'll be decorating eggs this weekend, here are a couple different methods that will give you cool looking eggs!

We've all done the old school method with the water and the vinegar, and the Paas kit.  But it's time to try something new.

This year I gave it a shot with three different methods that I had found online.

1.  The fingernail polish method

2.  The rice shaker method

3.  The shaving cream method

The Fingernail Polish Method

This one was probably the coolest way to do it, but it would take a little more skill.  Probably not for little ones.  You have to be a little more delicate with the eggs and careful as you pull them out.  It takes a good touch to get them just right.

The Rice Shaker Method

This one was probably my favorite.  It was really easy and the eggs came out looking really cool.  They took very little effort and it was very affordable.  All you need are eggs, rice, food coloring and a bag.  The only advice that I would give is to make sure to use enough food coloring.  Our rice tended to soak it up pretty quick.

The Shaving Cream Method

I'm not sure if I did these wrong or what, but these were very underwhelming.  You are supposed to let the shaving cream stay on the eggs for at least 15 minutes before washing it off with cold water.  We did that.  I even timed them.  But most of the coloring came off.  However, one DID turn out and it was pretty cool.  So maybe I just did something wrong on the other 3 eggs.

Whatever method you use, have fun!  And remember to find all the eggs that the easter bunny hides.  Don't let them sit for an entire year in a basket like this one did...so gross!
