Happy Easter!



Even though we don't have any kids, I decided that I wanted to decorate eggs this evening. (You don't need kids to decorate eggs, right?) Ryan did three and left me the rest. I did some drawing with the "magic crayon" and mixed colours on others. I bought two kits - one was the marbled eggs kind. I DO NOT recommend that one for kids! What a mess. You basically sponge paint the eggs and as you are twirling you are guaranteed to drop it.
The reason I thought to share this with all of you is that I decided to put rubons on some of the eggs. I picked an old pack I doubt I'll ever use. They were about 4 years old, so they didn't rub on smooth. I kind of like that look though. I then coloured those in one colour. They came out cute. I thought you could also dress them up with some gems as well.

There were some really good ideas on Pintrest as well:
Eggs with nice straight bands made of scotch tape - http://pinterest.com/pin/101753272801058232/
Eggs with lots of stripes from rubber bands - http://pinterest.com/pin/101753272801058188/
