Nontraditional Easter Eggs!

Easter eggs were always my favorite part of Easter. I loved the excessively vibrant colors you could turn them into. I still think of them whenever I smell vinegar.

But why only use solid colors? Sure it's traditional, easier and overall better looking but there are so many other ways to f<%* up an egg. You just need to invest a little more time. (Total time for typical dyed egg - 1 minute)

You can do something like...

...paint on a word that will confuse others.
Remember, it doesn't have to be a real word.
*Example above - Huske*
(Total Egg Time -3 minutes)


Sick of using nail polish on your nails?

Then use it on your eggs!
The maker says, "A somewhat failed attempt at coloring Easter eggs with a combination of enamel model paint and nail polish."
(Total Egg Time, including nail polish drying time - 30 minutes)



Turn mistakes into art by...

...saying things like, "Yeah, I did that to give it a 'swirly' look. Smooth and flawless is sooo boring."
(Total Egg Time - 30 seconds)



Do all these things take too much time for you?
How about...

...some random designs!
Takes no time at all.
(Total Egg Time, Including the thought process - 10 seconds)


What's the matter? Still want the traditional dyed egg but something with a little more zazz?

How's about slapping some star stickers on that thar' egg?
(Total Time - 1.47 minutes)


So, next time you start painting Easter eggs with your youngins, think of all the creative things you can accomplish!
