Easter eggs bring out the creativity in all of us, don’t they? I find it strange that I’m obsessed with unique and beautiful egg decorating ideas when I don’t even eat eggs. But, as a mom who loves to make things with her girl, I’m always into decorating them. Plus, I’m just an obsessed crafty type, so of course I find them fascinating!

But this week, we’re looking at egg ideas that might be more suited to our adult decorating tastes, without the kiddos. We’ll save the kid-friendly egg projects for next week. Let’s just take a moment to celebrate the minimal, beautiful egg with some simple, modern projects.

Using wooden eggs and a limited color palette really up the “cool” factor of these eggs. Just think, if you used wooden eggs every year with varied DIY techniques—you’d have quite a collection a decade from now!
