With egg prices on the rise, it may feel extravagant to spend money on real eggs just for Easter decorating. However, it’s tough to let go of cherished traditions. Don’t let high prices deter you from this Easter craft. Discover five affordable alternatives for decorating eggs this holiday season that are both budget-friendly and visually appealing.
1. Potato Eggs: Use petite potatoes as a substitute for real eggs. They are similar in size and shape, and with non-toxic or biodegradable paint, you can even compost them once you’re done.
2. Wooden Eggs: Wooden eggs closely resemble real eggs and offer endless decorating possibilities. Opt for unfinished wooden eggs for better adherence of paint and decorations, ensuring they can be used for future Easters.
3. Pasta Shell Eggs: Painted pasta shells in egg shapes make for unique and cute Easter decorations. Consider using them for a spring garland or repurposing the leftovers for a delicious meal.
4. Paper Eggs: Eco-friendly paper eggs, made from recycled materials, provide a sustainable alternative to plastic eggs. They are easy to decorate and can be saved for future use.
5. Air-Dry Clay Eggs: Crafting egg shapes from air-dry clay may be challenging, but imperfections can be hidden with paint. Embrace the unique shapes and enjoy painting them for a creative Easter touch.
