Heart Silhouette Easter Eggs
If you don’t have heart stickers, just cut masking tape into the shape you’d like. Dye the eggs as normal, and when you peel away the tape, a white silhouette will be left behind!
Nail Polish Marbled Easter Eggs
Add a few drops of nail polish in varying colors to a glass of water until the surface is covered. Swirl a bit with a toothpick. Dip your egg in the polish and when you pull it out, the nail polish will cling to the surface. Via Little Inspiration.
Watercolor Sprayed Eggs
Fill a few spray bottles with liquid watercolors and spray on eggs for a pretty splattered look. Via For The Love Of.
Decoupage Eggs

Marbled Easter Eggs
A simple 2 step dying process will give you this two tone marbled look. Dye eggs one color and then create a second shallow dye bath with some olive oil on the top. The oil breaks up the second color for a marbled effect. Via Make Life Lovely.
Easter Eggs Dyed with Silk Ties
Who knew you could dye eggs with silk? Cut up an old tie or scrap of colorful silk fabric, wrap around eggs, boil, and the color transfers to the egg! Via Relish.
