Easter eggs.  I jumped outside the box this year!  Being unconventional can be a ton of fun.

While cruising through Target last week, I spotted this egg decorating wrap.  {I found it near the party goods in my store, in case you want to look for it.}  It looked easy enough, so I went for it.  Using Mod Podge and Q-Tips, I was able to glue the baker’s twine to the egg.  Be warned- this took a lot of patience, so really young kids might find it frustrating.  The wider pieces of ribbon had an adhesive sticker backing.  Simply peel and stick.  I like how they turned out.  Colorful and a bit wacky!  {Also note, if the eggs are cold -condensation can cause the decorating process to be tricky.}

Oh, and just for fun, I tried a temporary tattoo.  Little Man had a spare Angry Birds tat from a recent doctor’s visit.  Total success!  Peel off the protective film, press firmly with a damp cloth or sponge, and that’s it!  Any temporary tattoo will work, so your kids can personalize their eggs.  You can dye them first if you want a pop of extra color!  The possibilities are endless with this one!

Don’t skip decorating eggs this year.  There is still time.  Just get creative!

PS:  Use brown eggs and a paint pen for pretty eggs.
