Unconventional coloring of Easter eggs.

Easter decor:
15 unconventional ways
decorate the eggs
It is impossible to remain indifferent to Easter tradition- paint eggs. However, fashion trends make their own adjustments to such an ancient form of art as dyeing. Not quite familiar, but no less beautiful and original, are added to traditional techniques. And in our review - 15 unusual methods that can be adopted.

1.Black and white classic

monochrome splendor
.
The use of black, unconventional for Easter eggs, gives them a special appeal and originality. Coloring with slate paint will create the effect of a school board on which you can draw, write wishes with chalk or a white pencil.

2. colorful streaks

Using watercolors

This technique can be called "lazy", or does not require outstanding talents in the field of fine arts. It is enough just to dip the brush, press it against the shell and let the watercolor paint run randomly. Such patterns dry very quickly. You can use several colors that will gradually turn into each other.

3. "Tattooed" Easter eggs
Funny plywood stickers

This original idea decor based on stickers that "translate" onto the skin and imitate tattoos. This way will attract and delight the child. Fun images can serve as an idea for a game. The principle of transferring is very simple, it is enough to press the sticker well, moisten it with water and make sure that the drawing is completely transferred to the shell.

4. Marble patterns

Use of nail polishes

Such unusual way suitable not only for manicure but also as an Easter decor. A good opportunity to give a "second life" to nail polishes, since you can take already dried ones. In order to use this method, you need to alternately pour varnishes into a cup of water and lower the empty shell there, after fixing it on a stick. Thus, it will be possible to pull out without damage ready product and don't get your hands dirty.

5. Embroidery

Embroidered decor

You can embroider not only on fabric. This technique also uses only eggshell, therefore, it must first be prepared: remove the contents of the egg and allow to dry from the inside. After that, holes are carefully pierced with special tools. You can take any threads, preferably bright colors, but it is better to choose thinner ribbons. It is worth noting that this is a very painstaking work with a fragile object, therefore it requires perseverance and concentration from the person who will perform it.

6. Golden chic

The use of gold leaf

Decorating Easter eggs with golden elements will add sophistication and satisfy the taste of any aesthete. Gold leaf looks spectacular both as a main pattern and as an addition to other decorations. Instead of gold plates, you can take the foil that is used in manicure.

7. "Shell on Shell"

"Mosaic"

To decorate eggs in this technique, it is necessary to prepare an empty white shell, pre-painted. Glue pieces of colored shell onto a white egg, leaving small distances between them. The resulting mosaic will look great, both plain and multi-colored.

8. Series of bright characters

Using images of your favorite cartoons

From a huge number of drawn characters, you can choose your favorite ones and create colorful Easter eggs. They are used for painting acrylic paints or gouache. You can create a 3D effect by adding paper elements. Undoubtedly, children should be involved in the manufacture, allowing them to show their imagination and the opportunity to create their own character.

9. Decoupage technique

Decoration with a napkin

Fast and easy way decoration. It is perfect for those who have little time and do not have the opportunity to fiddle with decorating eggs for a long time. The principle is simple: pieces of a napkin with a pattern you like are carefully glued onto the shell, all wrinkles and irregularities are straightened out. And to fix the result, the "pattern" is covered with glue or varnish.

10. "Quilling"

paper decoration

First you need to familiarize yourself with the features of this technique. Strips of paper are twisted and formed into certain patterns, then all the elements are glued together. In this way, you can decorate natural eggs by gluing the shell or create decorative masterpieces.

11 Dinosaur Eggs

Easter eggs in scales

The original idea of creating dinosaur eggs or mythical dragons.
The first option: dip the overcooked egg into the dye. Through the cracks in the shell, the paint will seep inward, creating a kind of mesh.

Another option: glue the shell with sequins or other improvised materials, creating a semblance of scales. Fans of huge reptiles and Jurassic Park fans will love these Easter eggs.

12. Thread winding

Rainbow

This unusual technique involves the use of floss, iris and other silk or cotton threads for sewing or knitting. You can wind different colors (gluing the threads in a chaotic manner or laying the turns evenly and tightly) to begin with, securing the end from above with a pin or tape. In the end - the "ball" should be smeared with glue and allowed to dry. You can complement the result by sprinkling with beads or sequins.

13. The beauty of cereals

Seeds as decoration

Since ancient times, cereals have been used to decorate Easter eggs, personifying symbols of fertility and prosperity. The combination of different seeds always creates an interesting composition. And an additional element of decor can serve as pasta of various shapes, painted with gold or silver paint.

14. space decor

Universe in the palm of your hand

It is worth highlighting the unusual way of coloring "cosmic" eggs. This technique attracts attention and leads away from the canons of traditional painting. It is very easy to create them, just take a few dyes and soak a napkin with them, wrap them up and leave for four hours. Adding fluorescent paints will enhance the futuristic effect, making the pysanka glow in the dark.

15.Silk tenderness

Transferring a pattern with silk

Since silk perfectly conveys its color, it is impossible not to use this to create an interesting coloring. As the main material, you can use old ties, neckerchiefs or just separate pieces of fabric. Eggs are immersed in boiling water with vinegar, wrapped in silk and on top with a piece of white cloth. Thus, a pattern will be printed on the shell, which can be supplemented, for example, by gluing beads, beads, lace, paper butterflies. It is better to choose a brighter fabric, since the finished pattern will turn out to be somewhat dull.

Easter is Holy holiday, which is usually celebrated in the family circle, and preparation for it unites entire generations. The format of the meeting may change, but the Easter cake and pysanky on holiday table. The art of coloring eggs is rooted deep in ancient times, but even today it does not lose its relevance, new, modern methods are emerging. Long-forgotten techniques are being revived, new ones are being improved.

It seems to me that when we decorate eggs, we, without even realizing it, are not just painting, but spiritually preparing for the holiday. Someone more, someone less is in a state of peace, anticipation of joy. This is already a kind of meditation.

Meditative drawing is very useful here. The shape of an egg on a plane or just an oval sets the boundaries within which you can draw zentangle balls, just different patterns. I got these, for example. These drawings for decorative eggs or cards in the style of doodling are interesting and non-standard both in black and white and in multi-colored versions.

If you like more meditative coloring, you can take a ready-made template. Free coloring pages for eggs, for example, from those that I have published here, you can print and make beautiful postcards, fridge magnets, or just meditate while coloring.

Easter egg patterns can be detailed if you are painting on a large decorative blank, but for small eggs it is best to choose a simpler pattern, and you can fill it with more and more details as you go.

We also painted our natural eggs with polka dots, in the dot-art style. For this, special food pearlescent paints were used. Fortunately, now this good is sold a lot. Unfortunately, this time it was not possible to decorate large wooden blanks. But, I think this can be done not only in preparation for Easter.

Such patterns for painting eggs are suitable for decorative crafts, for postcards. Both options are floral designs, the first is close in style to zendudling, and the second is just the idea of \u200b\u200blace ornament. Lace can be applied with white paint on a dark background, it will look very nice!

These patterns for Easter eggs, not all, of course, I drew on greeting cards. I don't do scrapbooking, although I do enjoy looking at beautiful handmade cards. Perhaps for some holiday I will try to create something like that. And this time, it's just colored cards in the shape of eggs. Here is an example of what happened on both sides of the postcard.

Happy Easter!

The whole family gathers at the Easter table. This is a bright and joyful day. An integral part of the traditions and entourage of this holiday are Easter eggs, all kinds of "krashenka" and "pysanky". Notes of a layman offers to expand the horizons of fantasy, and instead of the usual coloring, experiment with various materials and technicians. As a result, you will receive original decorative ornaments and a lot of positive emotions.

Easter Egg Coloring: Marble and Silk Patterns

"Marble" Easter eggs

For this coloring method more suitable synthetic dye, so it is better to clean the inside of the eggs. Pierce small holes in the top and bottom of the shell, then pierce the yolk and carefully remove the contents with a syringe or syringe. Rinse well and dry. Such "paints" will serve you for more than one year.

- Dilute the base dye in a deep bowl, add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar and color the eggs in a uniform color. Put them on a napkin or wire rack, leave to dry completely.

- In another, shallow bowl (so that the egg does not completely dip), dilute the dye of a darker tone or contrasting color. Pour in 1 tbsp. vegetable oil and stir it so that on the surface of the liquid formed beautiful patterns. Dip the egg and roll around the circumference of the bowl. Oil with dye will settle on the shell, forming a fancy marble pattern. Blot with paper towel and let dry.

silk patterns

A very fun way to color Easter eggs, which allows you to get intricate and all kinds of patterns.

For work you will need: various pieces of 100% silk (large enough to wrap an egg), rubber bands, raw white eggs, vinegar, an enamel or glass pan, paper towels, vegetable oil, old cotton white sheet or tablecloth.

- Wrap the raw egg tightly with a silk rag ( front side to the shell), secure the fabric with an elastic band. Wrap a piece of undyed cotton over the top.

- Place the eggs in an enamel or glass saucepan, cover completely with water and add 3 tbsp. vinegar. Bring water to a boil, continue to simmer for 40 minutes over low heat.

- Remove the eggs from the water, let them cool, then remove the material. To add shine, dip a paper towel in oil and wipe the shell.

Painting Easter eggs: wax, marker and paint

"Pysanki"

The technique of Ukrainian pysanka is taken as a basis - drawing patterns from wax on hard-boiled eggs. Melted wax is applied to an egg, which is then dipped in dye. After dyeing, the wax melts, and bizarre patterns open up.

To create a more complex pattern, you can use wooden skewers, a pencil eraser or a pin. However, here you can not do without a certain skill. There is also a simple, no less interesting technique for which you will need: eggs, food coloring, wax, a container for melting wax, several bowls for different dyes, paper towels, a baking sheet.

- Dye the eggs light tone(subsequently, you can make the dye more concentrated for stripes of a saturated tone).

- Melt the wax in a water bath and dip both ends of the egg into it (the wax will prevent the covered area from turning into the next color).

Dip the eggs in the next dye for a minute, remove and let dry completely. Then again, only deeper, dip into wax, leaving a wide strip in the middle for coloring. Now dip into the third dye.

Place the fully colored Easter eggs on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper and place in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. When the wax is melted, remove it with a paper towel.

Watercolor and marker for coloring Easter eggs

If you have high-quality watercolor and watercolor pencils (they spread a little and form an interesting pattern when in contact with a wet surface), you can safely experiment and create original ornaments on the shell. If you want to save the eggs until the next Easter holiday, clean them of the contents and cover the drawing with a fixing protective spray varnish.

Even in the absence of watercolors, you can create creative easter decorations using only a permanent marker.

Easter egg decoration: stencil, washi tape and decoupage

Funny ornaments from Japanese washi tape (Washi)

Scrapbookers are familiar with this decorative ribbon. A wide range of prints, sizes and shapes allows you to use Washi tape for any decor, including decorating Easter eggs. The material is very easy to use, you just need to carefully stick a strip of tape on the surface.

Create stencils from duct tape and double tape

To achieve a similar effect, adhesive stencils or strips of electrical tape are used.

- First, wrap an unpainted egg with a narrow strip of electrical tape or stick stencils. Dip into first color, then dry with paper towel.

- Remove the film. Apply a second layer of duct tape in the opposite direction and dip in the second dye. Dry. Remove the stencil strip from the finished egg.

And such wonderful Easter eggs are decorated with double stationery tape and multi-colored glitter.
