Basic Supplies You’ll Need for Most of These Easter Egg Ideas
Most of these designs use simple, accessible materials:
Acrylic paints: gold, black, white
Fine paintbrushes (or ends of brushes/toothpicks)
Gold paint pen (optional for precision)
Painter’s tape or thin washi tape (for stripes and geometric designs)
Star stickers or a star stencil (optional for shine)
Egg holders or egg carton (to dry your creations)
Essential Techniques (Mix & Match!)
Base Coat Your Eggs
Paint eggs with a solid base color (white, pastel, black, or gold). Let dry completely before decorating.
Decorative Patterns
Polka Dots: Use a dotting tool or the tip of a brush for classic dotted patterns.
Stripes: Apply painter’s tape to create clean lines and paint between the sections.
Geometric/Abstract Designs: Try triangles, blocks, or swirls using paint pens or a steady brush.
Gold-Dipped Effect: Paint or dip the bottom half of an egg in metallic gold for a modern, luxe vibe.
Marbling: Dab a sponge with layered paints (white, blue, gold) to create a cloudy marbled finish. Don’t overblend!
Floral & Swirls: Use fine paintbrushes to add small leaves, petals, or playful swirls.
Display Your Eggs with Style
From modern bowls and vases to hanging trees and centerpiece trays — choose your style and arrange your favorites in a way that brings your space to life. Don't be afraid to mix textures, patterns, and even a few natural elements like baby's breath or moss!
Use coordinating decorative bowls (white, gold, glass, or black) to match your design theme.
Create a centerpiece tray with moss, florals, and candles.
Hang your ribboned eggs on branches for a beautiful Easter tree.
Mix textures: glossy and matte finishes, metallics and pastels, for visual interest.
Modern Black, White & Gold Easter Eggs
Pair solid base coats (black, white, gold) with dots, lines, and shapes for a high-contrast, modern look. Mix matte black with shiny gold for a chic texture combo.
Style tip: Display in a black bowl or on a white runner for an elevated, modern centerpiece.
Modern Stylish Black & White Easter Eggs
If you want a simpler look without the gold shine, try classic black & white designs for a bold and stylish Easter touch.
Soft & Striped: Blue and White Easter Eggs
Use painter’s tape for clean stripes or freehand gentle curves in soft blue. The contrast of white space with pastel blue feels fresh, airy, and elegant.
Luxurious Marbled Eggs with Gold Accents
Start with a solid base, then dab on layers of color with a sponge for a marbled texture. Top it off with thin gold lines that resemble cracks for a faux-kintsugi finish.
Display idea: Group in a gold or navy tray for a bold, luxurious focal point.
Playful Dots & Swirls
Paint eggs in bright base colors (red, yellow, blue, pastel pinks) and decorate with fun dots, swirls, and simple patterns. Great for a kid-friendly, mix-and-match modern look.
Style tip: Arrange in a glass vase for a casual yet charming centerpiece.
Traditional Ukrainian Pysanky Eggs
These intricate wax-resist eggs use layers of beeswax and dye to create symbolic, colorful designs. Take your time and follow the traditional method with a kistka, dyes, and wax for truly stunning results.
Tip: Blow out the eggs first if you want to keep them as keepsakes.
Easter Egg Succulent Planters
Use egg shells or plastic eggs as mini egg planters for real or artificial succulents. Fill with moss or soil and top with tiny painted eggs for a whimsical, nature-inspired display.
Elegant Gold-Dipped Hanging Eggs
Paint eggs in blush, mauve, or white. Dip or spray the lower half with gold, then add dots or stripes. Hot glue a ribbon to create hanging loops. Display on bare branches in a vase for a classy Easter egg tree.
