Easter egg decorating – bunny design

Simple Easter decorations for the home

You’ve probably decorated blown-out eggs before as there’s a wide range of brushes and paints available, from inks to coloured pencils and wax crayons. Often, the colours are neither water-resistant nor opaque, which produces pale results, especially on brown eggs. Usually it's really difficult to add fine details using a brush. But with their highly opaque acrylic ink, the edding matt paint markers, with their intense colours and choice of two different stroke widths, have proved themselves highly effective for homemade Easter decorations, especially blown-out eggs. They're available in 12 silk-matt waterproof colours, including white, silver and gold.

These cute Easter bunny eggs would make a great centrepiece decoration for a table, or you can hang them from a branch in the garden, because the acrylic ink is weatherproof and lightfast, making it ideal for garden ornaments.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Blow the eggs before you start decorating: prick a hole at both ends of the egg, then carefully enlarge them slightly with a needle. Once you’ve done that you can blow out the contents. Rinse out the egg with clean water. To hold the egg when decorating, carefully insert a wooden skewer and this will give you access all the way around.

Step 2

For the decorating, use a matt paint marker. Now you're free to add your design by writing words and colouring. Start by painting the body of the Easter bunny in white by following the pattern shown, leave to dry and then outline it with the fine edding 4040 matt paint marker in brown.
