  There are several options for making colorful Easter eggs. One is to hard boil eggs and dye them. Another way is to leave the egg raw and dye it, which is the common method for making Pysanki or Ukrainian eggs with their elaborate geometric designs. Still another way to make Easter eggs is to make holes at each end of the egg, breaking the yolk with a pin and blowing it out of the shell. The resulting hollow egg must then be cleaned and decorated. There are many different ways to decorate a blown egg and make it a beautiful ornament for the Easter season.
  
  

Commercial Dyes

• Blown eggs dyed with commercial products should be decorated a bit more because they can be kept for a long time.Easter Eggs image by Stockphotoman from Fotolia.com
  
  Dye blown eggs with commercial Easter egg dyes. Use dyes that use only cold water. The egg may float, so use a container that is small, and weigh the egg down with a spoon if necessary. Drain the egg over the container first before removing it from the dye.
  
  

Paint

• Acrylic paint comes in tubes and in bottles.red acrylic image by Andrew Brown from Fotolia.com
  
  Instead of dying the egg, use acrylic paints, professional water colors, or finger or tempera paint. Be careful in handling the blown out egg because it is much more fragile than a raw or hard boiled egg.
  
  

Glitter

• Glitter will get all over so use newspapers or plastic tablecloths to catch any that escapes.pots of glitter image by Warren Millar from Fotolia.com
  
  Using a paint brush, apply glue to half of an egg and sprinkle it with glitter. Wait for it to dry and apply glue to the other half of the egg and sprinkle it as well. This allows for holding the egg without getting glue and glitter all over the decorator. Paint or dye the egg with a color first and let it dry to give it a richer design.
  
  

Decoupage

• Dye or paint the egg and let it dry. Cut out small pictures from wrapping paper or magazines. Apply a thin layer of white glue to the egg in the area where the picture will be placed. Place these pictures on the egg and apply more glue right over the right side of the picture. Smooth any lumps while painting on the glue. Let the glue dry. Seal the egg by applying a clear polyurethane spray or brush on varnish.
  
  

Tissue or Crepe Paper

• Dip a brush into water and brush the egg. Immediately apply pieces of colored crepe or tissue paper to the egg and smooth them down. When the water dries, the paper will fall off, but the egg will retain the color of the paper.
  
  

Beads

• Seed beads come in a variety of colors and make blown eggs shimmer.multi-coloured beads, background from beads image by 26kot from Fotolia.com
  
  Take a small paint brush and apply dots of glue to an area of the egg. With tweezers, apply seed beads or sequins to each dot of glue. Do this on one half of the egg, let it dry, and continue with the other side.
