Easter Egg Chicks

It's oh-so-easy to turn plain Easter eggs into adorable chicks. Snip foam flowers in half to make feet, and secure them to the bottom of the egg using a dab of hot glue. Cut a small triangle from orange foam for the nose, and draw two eyes with permanent marker. Hot-glue two feathers to the back of the egg, and add a smaller feather tuft to the top for a head accent.

Yarn-Wrapped Easter Eggs

Use a bit of leftover yarn from other crafts to make these eggs for dazzling Easter displays. Start at one end of a ball of yarn (to get a striped effect, use yarn that's dyed multiple colors) and make a 1/2-inch coil. Hot-glue to the coil to one end of your egg, and press with your fingers to secure. Wrap the yarn slowly around the egg, securing with dabs of hot glue at 1/4-inch intervals. When you're close to the other end of your egg, cut the yarn and finish your coil.

Permanent-Marker Doodled Eggs

If you love to doodle and draw, this simple Easter egg design is just for you! All you'll need are a few hard-cooked eggs, a permanent marker, and a lot of creativity.

Editor's Tip: Draw slowly and carefully, and wait for the marker to set before continuing your design on a different side. Protect your hands from marker smudges by holding your egg with a towel.

Button-Decorated Easter Eggs

A bag of crafts store buttons is all you need for this no-dye Easter egg design. Play around with different button colors and sizes to form pretty shapes (such as flowers, shown), and hot-glue them to hard-cooked eggs for a quick and easy Easter project.

Flower Sticker Easter Eggs

Neon dot stickers from an office supply store add a fresh spring look to Easter eggs. Alternate between colors to create your bouquet, then set your eggs in a flowerpot with green fabric to round out your Easter garden display.

Chenille-Stem Egg Bunnies

Chenille stem and cotton balls add Easter bunny flair to these eggs. Take one chenille stem (you'll need a full one for each egg), set the egg in the middle, and twist the two ends at the top. Fold each end over to make the ears and twist to secure. Glue a matching cotton ball to the backside of the egg and draw a face on the front with permanent marker to complete the look.

Editor's Tip: To prevent the chenille stem from slipping off the egg, secure with a dab of glue at the top and bottom. Let dry before putting your bunnies on display.

Lace-Wrapped Easter Eggs

Dress up a trio of plain Easter eggs with a bit of lacy trim. Just like tying a bow on a package, wrap one length of the egg with the trim, then wrap the other length to form an X shape. Tie the ends into a bow, securing the trim with a dab of glue as needed.

Pastel Striped Eggs

To create this look, cut a variety of colors of Japanese washi tape into thin lengthwise strips. Attach strips to the egg, allowing the tape to overlap at the top and bottom.

Fabric-Covered Eggs

Add springtime flair to your home with these delightful fabric-covered eggs. Attach bright fabric remnants to a double-sided adhesive sheet. Make sure to smooth out air bubbles. Cut the sheet into strips, remove the backing, and attach to eggs. Repeat until you have your desired look.

Polka Dot Glitter Eggs

Using a crafts punch, punch circles from double-sided adhesive. Attach them to the eggs. Pour different colors of glitter into separate bowls. Roll each egg in glitter; remove excess with a clean paintbrush. For a multicolor egg, place a few stickers on an egg at a time. Roll in glitter, remove excess, adhere more circles, and repeat with a different color glitter.

Vellum-and-Tape Egg

To decorate this adorable egg, tear a piece of 1/2-inch-wide washi tape lengthwise. Lightly affix tape across the edge of a sheet of vellum paper. Using a decorative-edge crafts punch, cut designs into the tape. Carefully remove the tape from vellum and attach to egg. Tear a thin piece of tape lengthwise and adhere to egg. Repeat process until egg is decorated as desired.

Pretty Taped Eggs

The patterns are a cinch to create using Japanese washi tape. The fabriclike tape comes in a variety of colors, sizes, and patterns. This project works best with tape at least 1/2 inch wide. Tear small pieces of your favorite patterns and cover an egg, making sure to smooth out air bubbles.

Patterned-Paper Easter Eggs

Decorative paper delights on these sophisticated eggs. Attach patterned-paper pieces to double-sided adhesive, remove backing, and attach to egg. To decorate eggs with ribbon, use 1/8-inch double-sided crafts tape to make designs. Stick ribbons onto tape, then adhere to egg as desired.

Sponged Glitter Eggs

Coat eggs with a light layer of glue using a damp sponge. Pour different colors of glitter into separate bowls. Firmly roll the eggs in glitter, using a spoon to cover any exposed spots. Allow the glue and glitter to dry before displaying the eggs.

Sticker Eggs

Scrapbooking supplies are a simple way to create cute, dye-free eggs. Thicker stickers work best because they cling to the shape of the egg. Place decorated eggs in mini pots for a seasonal display.

Ribbon and Rickrack Wrapped Eggs

Narrow ribbons and rickrack make instant egg decorations (just adhere with glue). For even easier decorating, look for self-adhesive fabric tape in pretty colors and fun patterns.

Glitter Striped Easter Eggs

Create vibrant bands of color by attaching 1/8-inch-wide double-sided adhesive strips to an egg. Pour different colors of glitter into separate bowls. Remove the backing from one strip of adhesive and, starting with the darkest color first, firmly roll the egg in glitter. Remove excess glitter with a clean paintbrush. Repeat for each color.
