Easter eggs can be decorated not only with paints. Try the following ideas for handicrafts for Easter:

Decoration with croup. Egg shell can serve as an excellent canvas for demonstrating your artistic abilities. Grab any cereals and grains: beans, peas, rice, pearl barley, coffee. The PVA glue will cope with attaching the decorations to the base. In the choice of patterns there are no restrictions, try to lay out flowers and various ornaments.

We glue the applique on the egg and put the finished composition on the stand. Sugar glaze and mastic. Easter eggs will become festive, like sweet cream cakes, with naleplennymi floral patterns of sugar icing and whipped cream.
Mosaic. The surface of the shell is smeared with a universal PVA glue, and the remains of already eaten eggs are attached to it - finely chopped shells of different colors.
Cuttings from napkins. There are such large celebratory napkins with set of various drawings. So, we cut out on the contour the most liked motifs: these can be flowers or other symbols of Christ's Resurrection. We glue these pictures on eggs with the same glue. Excellent, if the background of the napkin is white, then the application sits imperceptibly on the white shell.
Mulina, ribbons, lace and braid. We disassemble grandmother's chest with needlework and get all of the above listed goods. Thread the contrasting colors in an arbitrary way pasted an egg or tied it with a beautiful braid. Such an article is a real Easter miracle!
Foil. Of course, you need to take not an ordinary silver, but textured or with drawings. Just wrap it with a shell - and a holiday dress for the egg is ready!
