Easter Eggs! 3 fun easy decorating methods

[@opalopossum4464]

It never occurred to me to blow out the insides-we always colored hard boiled eggs when I was a kid, and the ephemeral-ness of the Egg Art (and destroying the art to eat the eggs later) is part of the point for me, but what a smart way to make eggs you can keep!

[@Itazu]

Where I live, both variants are common. Blown out coloured eggs to decorate branches (e.g. forsythia or pussy willow) and boiled coloured eggs to eat during the holidays.

[@Jerry_the_Head]

Same, I always hard boiled my eggs, I ate only the whites because the boiled yolks had a texture that grossed me out, which got even worse color-wise when we peeled the dyed shells off, it was grey and almost resembled the trackball of an old computer mouse.

[@glitchie_the_monstrosity475]

Same for me! I've never thought of blowing the insides out!

[@SparDanger]

My family does the same thing. Makes it easier to find them months later. Peew!

[@Writing4MySoul]

I did the same! Then we had colorful deviled eggs for Easter dinner ❤

[@invertez3483]

[@kitganrice8323]

Ah, Easter. Our family tradition was to break the eggs after the holiday in violent ways. For my brothers, they would be targets for BB guns. 😂

[@Dollightful]

Sounds fun xD

[@olikkoshon8231]

My family just play a game when each pick an egg and then we smash one egg to another. If your egg breack - you lose. My father allways turn egg to it's flat side, so I could win)

[@tomatoo2486]

@@olikkoshon8231Yes, we do that too! But my father always made me lose haha 🥲

[@SoulSlugArts]

Yk what that does sound fun If it works it works

[@8bit-ld2mk]

My family always made confetti bombs out of the Easter eggs. And yes, they’re just as hard to make. As they sound you would take an egg shell empty it and then stuff at full of paper confetti, it was pretty fun throwing them everywhere. Ideally, you want to have the confetti to fight outside because that would be nightmare to clean up.

[@SmallFry_Ghost]

Ive never seen Easter egg decorating with blowing out the insides! My family always just hard boiled our eggs and would eat them the following week. These are adorable!!!

[@CuteLitteBat]

My family would boil them too.

[@sailorenthusiast]

Same here. I kinda always assumed that boiling the eggs would be preferable because the now solid insides would make it more durable. And, of course, turning those pretty eggs into deviled eggs for Easter dinner a few days later.

[@boiledburger4463]

@@sailorenthusiast idk where you guys are from but now IM surprised that so many ppl don't know about the blowing out method! Im from Poland and everyone i know always did them this way? The hardboiled ones were usually for the basket since here its much more of a Christian tradition, so we would dye the hard boiled ones using red onion peels for example and they would go in the basket for the blessing , and then we would eat them for easter breakfast. We only paint the hollow shells exactly so that we can keep them! Its inevitable that some will break especially with kids, but over the years my family kept the prettiest ones and our entry hallways is always decorated with them

[@miciarokiri5182]

I think it's because, at least in America, most of us just did sloppy dye jobs for funsies. When you make ART WORK, like Pysanky (or Ukrainian Eggs as I grew up calling them) you want to preserve them so the blow out method is best

[@boiledburger4463]

@@miciarokiri5182 oh yeah in Polish theyre Pisanki spelled the same way

[@crazcatladeestudios9956]

Removing the eggs' insides is a very interesting method, my family always boiled our eggs for decorating and rolling

[@asexualartistry]

Yeah, we did that too, only problem is we kids hated boiled eggs, still do tbh 🤢

[@rhiannonester2493]

I did, too! We made deviled eggs after!

[@Dollightful]

That's a fun method, too! But then, of course, you don't want to keep them around for 20+ years. hahah

[@crazcatladeestudios9956]

@@Dollightful haha exactly, they were more for absolutely demolishing by seeing who could roll them furthest down a hill, this method is definitely a lot smarter if you want them for decorations

[@Blue_Caribou]

You can also soak the eggshells in food-dyed water - and even create patterns by drawing on the shell with a candle or white wax crayon before hand, that's the really traditional method (my grandmother used to use natural dyes - red cabbage water, onion skin water, turmeric etc. We used 90s liquid artificial food colouring - a couple of drops in a mugful)

[@aloe8078]

We color boiled eggs, and then my dog “helps” me find them (she loves finding them and then telling me where they are by pointing, she had brief s&r training as a puppy but didn’t wind up getting picked for police or military because she’s too friendly). My family did acrylics one year and I loved it. I did most of the eggs since my parents just liked watching me paint

[@solitaryflower]

You say we come here for the dolls, but we come here for YOU. You're a great teacher and I love watching you work.

[@Lilas.Duveteux]

In Eastern European traditions, the eggs would be boiled with onion skins and polished with some oil, and some can decorate them further by engravings, but we always break the shells anyways. The decorating and the boiling go in one go. I heard that many French households use onion skins to make bone broth. As long as they aren't rotten or dusty, they can make perfectly good broth along side some animal bones and carrot scraps.

[@MrsSonic91]

I used to love Easter. In Finland it's tradition to kids dress up as witches or bunnies and go to door to door with decorated branches, sing a little rhyme and get treats as reward. Kinda like American Halloween but spring themed. I also did that when I was kid. Nowdays it's mostly just enjoying some chocolate eggs and maybe dinner with my family. I still do love all colors and cutesy theme what Easter brings 🥰 And those egg became very pretty! I want to paint some now!

[@ilikecheeseandbeef7203]

That's sounds so fun! What an amazing tradition!^^

[@RocRolWriter]

That's awesome! Why do we NOT have a "spring-themed Halloween"? I mean, probably because the Americans who actually celebrate Easter "properly" are worried that it would over-commercialize the time of Jesus's resurrection...I can think of ways it could be done though.

[@randomgrmlin]

​@@RocRolWriter I think another reason could be because there's already Halloween for trick or treating. Trick or treating isn't really done here during Halloween so that's why we kinda have "virpominen" (name of the tradition) for Easter instead!

[@D0llqueen]

My family used to make casarones which are easter eggs where you break a bigger hole on the bottom, decorate as usual, stuff with confetti, then seal with colored tissue paper. 🎉🥚🎉 Then you throw them at or smash them on each other. Getting hit is good luck! Labor intensive but super fun!

[@solitaryflower]

Casarones rule!

[@lunarartist3817]

I never learned how to make them, but I have many fond memories of the egg-throwing fights... and the annoyance of getting confetti out of my hair afterwards 😅

[@mallorytrizisky211]

I’m on the same boat as most people in the comments, we didn’t blow out the contents inside, instead we hard boiled them and then after coloring and such my dad would make deviled eggs out of the boiled eggs. It was always a fun treat

[@wiwiandtheweirdness]

For anyone interested in removing the stamps, my mother taught me to gently rub them off the eggs with some vinegar essence (the cleaning product) on a paper towel before washing and blowing them out. Always worked flawlessly, at least with the stamps we’ve got here in Central Europe.

[@MicaAnneArts]

My family’s always used hard boiled eggs for decorating. Then we’d crack them open throughout the day as a snack between church services and family gatherings.

[@sheimi91]

In Poland we decorate pisanki! Some people only use egshells, but in my family we use hard boiled-eggs, so we can share them on Easter Saturday and Sunday after they're blessed with other foods at the church. We usually dye them in onion peels or artificial dyes and scrape different patterns out. It's my favourite Easter tradition!

[@nekrus1]

They also look quite nice too with leaf patterns (eg. parsley) if you place the leaf on the shell and cover it with a new tight before dyeing. After that you remove the tight and the leaf ofc. :)

[@dorkinabubble7772]

Darling, I come here for YOU! You post whatever you want and we’ll be sure to love it 🥰

[@TheBarbieWitch]

My mom is a serious-business maker of Ukrainian easter eggs and has serious-business tools for making eggs, including this tool that squeezes the egg inners out without a mouth ever touching the shell. I guess it makes the work go more quickly (plus, those eggs are meant to stick around for years and any bits of egg left inside are gonna stiiiiiiiiink… they’re pretty much weapons and turn to pure stink gas). It’s fun to try the Ukrainian wax-resist method of decorating eggs! The first few tries make you feel like everything you make will always be terrible and then you figure out what you’re doing and you just get better and better. 😃

[@thechaoticdollhouse]

I grew up with using hard-boiled eggs for egg dying. No poking, stirring, and blowing out egg contents. This meant that the egg white of the hard-boiled eggs would be really colorful when it came time to use them for deviled eggs so it was fun.

[@fredericapanon207]

@thechaoticschoolhouse, Interesting. I did not know that the dyes would soak through to the egg white. That means that you really need to use food-safe dyes.

[@m0nstr0cityy]

i dont come from a place where easter is celebrated nor talked about, so realising easter eggs were as easy to make as just blowing out the insides inspired me! currently eating some scrambled eggs i made with the insides as i write this! im gonna paint over the two i did with some acrylic markers.

[@beckymurphy4714]

I just did three plastic eggs yesterday afternoon. I sprayed them with white primer first, then a layer of black satin acrylic paint, and then the fun began! I brushed each half with either a chameleon powder or a regular mica powder, sealed that with gloss spray, then another layer of pigment and another coat of gloss. Now I have shiny metallic eggs! Quick, easy and fun. I have three more left from the package that I want to do acrylic pours on. (These eggs are hinged, and have two holes in the top & bottom halves. I clipped the hinge off and used bamboo skewers through the holes to hold them for spraying and painting.)

[@evilFarmin]

I've been really enjoying the shorter craft videos fhat are easier to repeat. The doll videos are impressive, and these are also really fun!

[@Alaylaria]

I remember using a mix of food coloring and I think vinegar to dye our eggs! We also used a white crayon beforehand to draw patterns, because the wax would resist the dye.

[@cdciam09]

My family always colors some of our eggs by finding flowers and plants and sticking those to raw eggs with water, then wrapping the whole affair in onion skins and then a rag. After boiling, they'd come out decorated in beautiful designs made from nature.

[@StephyM.C.]

My nephew is going to be 16 months old soon, and I can't wait to paint eggs with him! We will be using wooden eggs but I'm sure he'll have just as much fun as the real kind ❤❤

[@AkaneCelesHiko]

This was a great video to watch this morning! Thank you for the tips! If you don't want to use real eggs in the US, sometimes they have those plastic eggs for decorating. With a good primer, you can paint or draw all over those, too.

[@sufferine]

one of my family's favourite things to do is dye the brown eggs as well as the white ones. I assume it would work with watercolour too, but it creates a gorgeous deep colour, instead of the bright shades that come in the kits. sharpies are also one of my favourites, they are great to add a face, or little details after!

[@neddle710]

How interesting! In my country, it is tradition to not only colour them using onion skin, but also to fight with them, and then eat them with salt! Never even thought about blowing out the eggs to leave the shells and then leave them as decorations! Thank you, Dollightful!

[@FlyingBunnycorn]

I'm surprised by how many people only colored hard boiled eggs! We've done blown eggs in my family for years--it's so nice to see the eggs from years past. I always kept one egg back and would smear the paint smudges I inevitably got on my hand onto it. Then at the end of the egg painting, I'd go back through with a tiny brush of black paint and pick out the faces I could see of the "egg faeries" (and I'd usually add some glitter paint too, because who doesn't like glitter paint?).

[@Vrischika85]

A tip to remove the stamp - use some baking soda. Wet the egg under some water, rub gently with a bunch of baking soda and wash well))

[@SkellaBella1396]

These are so cute! I haven’t decorated eggs in so many years… maybe it’s time to bring it back this year with you as inspiration lol As a side note, kids of multi-cultural families must have so much fun! Twice the holidays! Haha

I must be from a different time. We would hard-boil our eggs as so we could enjoy them later, egg salad, potato salad, free style...and enjoy the colorful eggs on the day they were made for. That way you make new ones for the next year and it be like a family thing that you would do for Easter time. I have never blown out an egg before, would be an interesting site tho!

[@speedwaymethadrine]

i'm surprised by these comments! here in finland people usually blow out the egg contents and paint the empty shell - i have never heard of anyone using a different method. the only downside to hollowing out the eggs is you have to not accidentally inhale or you'll get a mouthful of raw egg (totally not speaking from experience..)

These days egg decorating is so much fancier than when I was a kid... probably about your grandmother's days...

Where I live we roll egg in water then put on it random greens what u found outside like flowers, leaves, moss and etc. then we tie them in gauze and tie with strings so flowers and other petals don't move, and then we basically boil then for 2 hours in onion peel mixture. They come out dark, brown/red, and places where we put flowers and etc. stays white, so it makes pattern. It's traditional colouring method here in Latvia :)

[@Cllocopine]

We always paint the eggs and then have an egg breaking contest. It’s a tradition where I live, everyone picks an egg each as their champion, then you hold a championship where two people are paired up and one smashes the top of their egg into the top of the opponents egg. The egg that breaks loses that round, but they’re not out of the competition quite yet because they still have the bottom of their egg left! So the next round you turn the egg around and hit bottom with bottom, if one egg gets broken on both sides then it’s out of the competition completely. Then you just go on like that until only one egg is left standing, the owner of the egg gets crowned egg queen/king and wins the yearly egg tournament.

[@overgrownbasil]

where im from, we usually decorate eggs using onion skin and plants, putting flowers and leaves on the eggs, wrapping them in some old, broken tights, boiling them in onionskin and the eggs usually come out really nice. another method is with silk ties, where the design of the tie gets imprinted on the egg. this year my family also tried dying the eggs in red wine

[@karopuva]

these are incredibly cute and fun! seems easy enough to make these with kids too, which is a big plus!! 💞💞

[@chouhimeaibyo4083]

In my country (Hungary) there is another way one is horseshoeing am egg and the another is boiling it with leafes. You get your egg first (brown usually its mkre popular in here) you need tk get some leafes and nylon stocking. You put the egg and the leafes in the (secure the leafe place on the egg with the stockings and eleastic.) get onion skin purple or oringe and put the clothed egg with them in pot. Boil it and you get nice natural egg painted :) (I dont think anybody gonna try it or read it but if you interested you can look up or if you cant find it in english I can write it)

[@LUVBOTZ]

We always did hard boiled eggs with the old Paas tablets that had to be activated with vinegar and water. Then we'd have about 2 weeks of multicolored egg salad sandwiches in our school lunches because the color always leeched into the egg white. 😆

[@alienrat-z3g]

I made some blown-out egg decorations as a kid in art class and I think we still have them somewhere. We used the method where you die the egg different colours goinng from lightest to darkest and before each new coating you apply wax to the parts of the design you want to keep the previous colour.

[@carrie4910]

We used to do both blown eggs and eggs dyed with food colouring. That way we could paint some and then get to have colourful egg sandwiches 😊

[@PelloTap]

We do cascarones (confetti eggs that you playfully smash over each others heads) here as well as painted/dyed eggs. I have no idea why it has never occured to me that i can also hollow out the painted eggs to make them last longer. I usually just boil them 😅

[@eviebrody]

I never thought of blowing out the eggs before! My family always dyed hard-boiled ones. Growing up, my grandparents lived on a hill overlooking a lake, and our Easter tradition was "egg chucking" -- pretty self-explanatory.

Interesting of how you prep the eggs. I never done it that way before, I live on a farm and we just clean the eggs and boil them. Then get straight to painting them. The paint looks great and even when you peel the shell off the colors on the boiled eggs.
