  • rinse off with cool water (use gloves to protect hands from dye if you want!)
  • optional (but totally makes these eggs chic AF): dot some metallic paint on the dried, dyed egg and rub it off with a paper towel for a seriously gorgeous, luxe effect.

When you don’t have any artistic skills but still love adorable little Easter friends, this is the way to go.

  • with room temp boiled eggs, draw a sweet, simple little face of an animal (if you want a painted animal, do the drawing after the paint has dried)
  • I used crayon because I prefer the soft effect if gave, but a Sharpie would also work great.
  • paint the bottom third of the egg your favorite color; draw in any small details on top of the paint after it’s dried. I let mine dry upside down on a paint palette – it has the perfect little shape to hold the egg.
