Instead of using dye, take some colorful tissue paper and cover your egg with it. Water will make the tissue paper color bleed onto your egg. You can even create cool Easter egg patterns like TikToker @motherhoodonpurpose by cutting strips of the tissue paper and using those.

02

Use An Egg Decorator With Markers

One of the easiest ways to decorate your Easter egg is with a machine like the Mini EggMazing ($20, Party City). This device spins your egg, so you can create clean lines with a marker. TikToker @bellabooslunchesofficial uses their EggMazing device to create a rainbow-colored Easter egg.

Whipped Cream Easter Egg Coloring Idea

Have you heard of the whipped cream Easter egg dyeing method? This way of coloring your Easter egg has become super popular and all you need is some whipped cream.

Just add a few drops of food coloring to the cream and swirl it around to create a cool tie-dye look. Roll your eggs in the cream to transfer the dye onto the eggs as TikToker @chasing40toes does and voila, you’ve got some new Easter egg designs.

04

The Paper Towel Easter Egg Design Idea

If you’d like a textured look to your Easter egg, try this paper towel method. Just wrap your egg in a paper towel like TikToker @likesunnylife does and paint on your egg dye. As it bleeds through the towel, you’ll get a cool design on your egg.

05

Coffee Filter Easter Egg Color Idea

Another easy way to dye your eggs is with coffee filters. That’s right, if you’re a coffee lover, you can use your coffee filters to create gorgeous Easter egg designs. Just color your filter with markers and wrap your egg in the filter. Spray some water on so that the color will bleed and transfer onto your egg, as demonstrated by TikToker @niktok1995.

The Rice Easter Egg Coloring Idea

Rice is another popular Easter egg dyeing method. If you want to know how to dye Easter eggs with rice, you first want to get some bags to fill with rice and food coloring. Once your food coloring has covered the rice, drop your egg in the bag and dye it like TikToker @cookingwithliana. It’s super simple, won’t cause a big mess, and creates a cool Easter egg design on your egg.

07

Easter Egg Design Idea With Tape

If you’re looking to get creative with your Easter egg designs, use tape. As demonstrated by TikToker @cookwithranda, using some tape before you dip your eggs in the dye will create line designs. You can also use a whisk to hold your egg as you dip it in the dye to avoid getting dye on your hands.

08

The Melted Crayon Coloring Idea
