Easter Deviled Eggs
Don’t just dye the outside of your
eggs, do the inside too! This can
be a fun (and easy) way to include deviled eggs (another Easter tradition) into
your bright new celebration! And the kids can help! Here’s how…
What you’ll need:
1. Food coloring
2. White vinegar
3. Boiled eggs
4. Water
I bought the neon variety of food
coloring at my local grocery store, I wanted my eggs to turn out really
bright. (You can find food
coloring in the baking aisle).
What you’ll do:
1. Remove the shell from the eggs,
cut them in half, and remove the yolk to make the filling like you normally
would when making deviled eggs.
2. Get enough glasses for the number
of colors you want to use. Or, if
you want to make clean-up REALLY easy, use plastic cups! Fill them 2/3 full with cold
water.
3. Add 1 tsp vinegar to each cup, and
then 3 drops of food coloring (or more if you want!)
4. Place egg whites in the cups until
they are the color you want. Trust
me, the vinegar does NOT make them taste funny…I was skeptical too!
5. Remove the whites from the dye and
let them dry on a plate with a paper towel.
6. When they are dry, fill them with
your yolk mixture.
So cute!!!
I made these for my daughter’s 2nd
birthday party, and they were a big hit.
Paint Sample Garland
Another one for the kids (and adults)…and
it’s free! Pretty self-explanatory…
What you’ll need:
1. String or ribbon
2. Paint sample cards in pretty
Easter colors (can get them from any home improvement store, Walmart…)
You simply thread the string through
the eggs, or you can tape the string to the back of the eggs too, or you can
even tape 2 eggs back to back and put the string in between so it’s pretty on
both sides!
To make it even easier for the kids,
make an egg template that they can trace and then cut out from the paint sample
cards.
Or more…try different shapes! Maybe a cute bunny head, or a little
ducky!
Ombre Easter
Okay, we all know ombre is the big
thing right now. I’ll admit it, I
love it too! Hair, curtains,
clothes, even walls, EVERYTHING is ombre.
So, why not Easter? I love
this trendy take on an Easter tradition.
This would look great as a centerpiece or on a mantel. Here’s how to get your ombre on this
holiday…
What you’ll need:
1. Easter egg dye- your choice for
color!
2. Boiled eggs (I like to do at least
8 for a really cool effect)
What you’ll do:
Simply leave the eggs in the same
container of dye- for different lengths of time! Works best if you time it…obviously, the darker eggs will be
left in longer. Vary the times by
at least a few minutes. For
example, leave the first egg in for 10 minutes, the next- 8 minutes, then 6
minutes, etc….
They look really cute if you set them
on some white Easter grass, or tissue paper. Love it!!
Easy Easter Wreath
What you’ll need:
1. 10-inch foam wreath form (here’s an added bonus- you can cut in
half, and get two wreaths out of one, each with a flat back…so they’re easier
to hang! Bonus!
2. Yarn, ribbon, whatever you want to
wrap your wreath with (tulle, fabric, etc.)
3. Wreath decorations of your choice
(flowers shown above, but you can use colorful plastic eggs, or even Peeps!)
What you’ll do:
1. Start with a dab of hot glue where
you’ll start wrapping your wreath (on the back, of course!)
2. Start wrapping! (Boring…you might want some music!)
3. Add a dab of glue every few inches
or so for security, and then finish it off with a dab too.
4. Add your embelishments and enjoy! Tie a string around the top to hang.
Hint: If you want to keep it hanging, use flowers or something
that’s more Spring-y, rather than Easter-y.
Easter Printables
So not everyone is as crazy as I am,
or maybe you don’t like crafts, or your DIY muscle still needs a little
exercising. Here’s some quick
Easter printables for those busier
(yet equally stylish!) people to
simply print and hang for a colorful, uplifting Easter! (If you copy the image and paste it to
a new document, you can change the size…)
