‘Tis the season, Nellies: time to get your egg decorating game on. We love this craft every year because it can be whatever we want it to be. Quick or involved, easy or challenging, minimalist or maximalist.
Easter is a reminder of life and abundance, and eggs fit right in. Egg decorating is playful and chill, with no mistakes that matter. We love the transience of it, that it only lasts for a short bit of time.
Below, we’ve rounded up our favorite designs to try. All of these are easy, kit-free and doable this weekend without much planning. Here’s to a happy and mellow Easter weekend!

These onion skin eggs won us over at first sight. The look is a stunning, warm palette of reds and browns and the process is natural and easy. To make, gather eggs, onions, white vinegar, and olive oil. The recipe is by Sara Kate Gillingham of The Kitchn. Sara offers cool takes on egg decorating every year and we always love her creations. Click here for instructions. Oh, and for the leftover onions, pickle them in two minutes :).
