Paint Splattered Easter Eggs
I've always been bothered by the smell of traditional Easter egg dying kit. Thus I was inspired to take advantage of the paint I had on hand, leftover from other projects.
I used leftover wall paint sample jars, but I'm sure craft paint would work just as well. Just simply water down the paint a bit for the perfect splatter consistency. If the paint is too thick you’ll have a hard time getting it to fling off the brush. I know because my arm was sore the next day, after trying without watering down the paint ;) haha!
The best thing about this project idea is that you really can’t mess it up! This freeing, stress-reducing approach is great for kids too. What's more fun that flinging things around and creating a mess?
Just make sure you cover your work space, or work outside, because paint will be flying everywhere.
The white of the eggs provides a great contrast for fun pastel colors.
Each egg will be unique! All with their own splatter look.

They are beautiful! Thank you for a great idea. (I agree about the smell of dye. It's been years since I dealt with that but can still remember how awful it was)

Those are very pretty!! 👏 I would use fake wooden eggs, myself. Then they are not fragile, and can be easily stored and used year after year. 👍
