Here are 5 surprisingly creative ways to decorate your eggs this year and make your Easter baskets extra-special.

1: Watercolor Easter Eggs

It’s pretty simple to turn your Easter eggs into masterpieces using a basic watercolor kit. This is a perfect project to do with children, like blogger Kellie did with her 7-year-old son. For extra effect, Better Homes and Gardens recommends tools such as round brushes or pencil erasers to use as stamps, and mixing a little water with the paint for a second go-around to achieve a two-toned look.

2: Tea-Infused Easter Eggs

Infusing your eggs with tea gives them a beautifully marbled appearance that really makes them stand out. People have been making tea eggs in Asia for time out of mind, but add a little food coloring or some natural egg dye (get the recipes below) and you’ve got a strikingly unique twist on the Easter egg.

3: Naturally-Dyed Eggs

Whether you’re making tea-infused eggs and want a dye that’s safe to eat, or you’re interested in teaching your kids about using natural products, these recipes for natural dyes from Better Homes and Gardens are a wonderful way to go DIY with your egg dye this year. The dyes use all-natural pigments from things such as blueberries, beets, and turmeric to achieve the lovely Easter hues you’re looking for.

4: Taped Easter Eggs

You can also use strips of washi tape to make eye-catching geometric patterns on your Easter eggs. Just place strips of tape or rubber bands around the egg in the patterns of your choice, dye the egg, remove the tape or rubber bands, and dye the egg a second time.
