HOLIDAY: 51 Easter Egg Tutorials
In my family, Easter is a celebration of Spring. This year it's 2 days before my younger brother's birthday. When I was a kid, we would dye eggs, but eventually moved to plastic eggs. One year we were at a cabin, where we couldn't dye eggs. Mom brought plastic ones and paint pens. That was the 1st time I learned that eggs could be decorated without messy dye. We use plastic ones with our daughter, since we do an egg hunt, and don't want to have a repeat of that time my younger brother hid a real egg in my dad's van tailpipe...so stinky when it wasn't found. Instead, mom uses the real eggs to make yummy deviled eggs...which I'd like a plate of right now. Whether you use real or fake eggs, this yearly holiday tradition is always fun. Here are some great tutorials to inspire you in your egg decorating.
