Anyone who is unsure what to do this Easter when it comes to decorating their home for a party should look no further than decorative eggs. This ongoing trend to have decorations may inspire you to create something special that will have your guests astounded.
As the kids are off school at Easter, why not ask them to help with the task at hand? Most children love to do creative things, and they will probably be very excited at the thought of creating decorations and telling their friends. Even their mates might want to get involved. It could even become an annual ritual, where the kids help make the ornaments.
Most people hang the eggs from the ceiling with ribbon or string. They can hang from almost anywhere, but many people hang them from hallways. It's very important not to use egg that has not been hollowed. A hollow egg, when dropped will crack, but a full egg will crack and leave a big mess.
Most people hollow out their egg by pricking the bottom with a needle and letting the insides drain out. Of course, there's no need to throw away perfectly good food. Make a cake or an omelette with them. Just be sure to clean out the egg and make sure that it's drying naturally. Once this part is done the fun part, the dyeing process, can begin.
At the risk of being too obvious, it is vital to check the instructions on the dye packet before you use it to color the egg. However, painting the egg is not the beginning and end of the decorative process. If you want them to hang from the ceiling, you'll have to glue hooks on the egg shell. Put them in the hallway or entryway to make sure guests see them right away.
People with an appetite for being bold might want to create an egg creature. This also does not take up much time, yet the results are stunning. As usual, make sure the egg is hollow by pricking the shell with a needle and letting the contents bleed out. Once they are dried, decide exactly what sort of animals you want to make.
The decoration that some people might find is most popular at their party is the egg wreath. You can always use fake eggs if time is at a premium. Whatever you do, be sure to paint the eggs bright colors. Tissue paper can make impromptu leaves as well. The way to do this is to thread wire along each egg and make a loop.
By their very nature these types of things are only temporary. They'll probably not last until next Easter, and that's most likely why people give them away to guests. Just make sure you have some that are worth giving away. Decorative eggs don't take very long to make but can create an impression with your guests that lasts a very long time.
