When I was a kid, there was really only one way to decorate Easter eggs, and it involved my parents buying a box of dye tablets at the supermarket, followed by my mother debating whether she wanted to sacrifice all her white vinegar on the process to make the eggs really colorful and punchy. Now that we’re living in a social-first world, the ideas are endless. From emojis to Pantone, here are 20 eye-candy designs to inspire your Pinterest boards—even if you ultimately end up going traditional IRL.
Above: These are probably the most 2018 Easter eggs of this whole bunch. A little yellow paint and a handful of marker colors is all you need to make these ?egg-mojis. Full details over on Studio DIY .

Swedish site Trendenser has a sort-of tutorial for how to make these dip-dye eggs, but there’s a bit lost in the Google translation. However, if you’re willing to adjust the translation and figure out out how to do it on your own, we applaud you.
Bust out those Sharpies and get to drawing! You’ll want to make sure your hard-boiled egg is at room temperature (you can use a hollow egg, as well) so you don’t have to deal with any sweat that could render your marker useless. Earnest Home Co recommends drawing your design with pencil first, then going back to fill it in.
Don’t have the patience to carefully sketch out a design? Go the abstract splatter route, like Decor Dots did. She used ink, but you could also try out different food coloring hues for a hippie vibe.
