The bright holiday of Easter is just around the corner and soon many of us will start cooking Easter baked goods and coloring Easter eggs, which are considered a symbol of this holiday all over the world. There are many different ways to decorate Easter eggs, and in this article we will try to cover a few in case someone wants to borrow some ideas for decorating their table.
In different countries, eggs were painted in different colors. For example, Poles and Ukrainians are famous for their art of making Easter eggs. With the help of simple technology and painstaking work, real masterpieces are created that are highly appreciated all over the world. For drawing Easter eggs, elements of flora and fauna, geometric shapes are used.
Easter egg designs can also be created using strips or different patterns and figures from adhesive tape that does not let water through. Using stickers, we create a pattern to our taste: intersecting stripes, diamonds, hearts, stars or butterflies. Then the egg is simply dipped in paint, and then the stickers are removed, and we get a ready-made beautiful and bright egg with different patterns that are not painted over.
Some dreamer people come up with amazing methods of creating drawings on Easter eggs, they are radically different from the traditional ones we know. Let's say if someone has dried flowers, they can be a great decoration material. The dried little flowers are neatly glued to the Easter egg, creating a spring festive mood.
Easter eggs can also be decorated with colorful sparkles by rolling them in glue and then sprinkling with a layer of different sparkles and confetti. The eggs can be decorated with colorful ribbons, lace and buttons to create a variety of decorative festive mini installations.
