There are so many fun and different ways to decorate Easter eggs! Rather than doing the same old dye kit, this year, try one of the creative DIY Easter egg decorating ideas below!

20 Creative Easter Egg Decorating Ideas

Here are some Easter egg decorating tips:

• Add vinegar to your dye. The vinegar lowers the pH level of the liquid and helps the food coloring bind to the egg better. This will give you more vibrant colors and better staying power.
• Refrigerate after 2 hours. Eggs should not be out of the fridge for more than 2 hours (unless you aren’t going to eat them).
• Don’t be afraid to dye brown eggs. Dying brown eggs make the colors different, but they are still beautiful! I like to display both and have more color options!
