I haven’t been feeling especially crafty lately, but this Sharpie Easter egg decorating idea popped into my head when I was thinking about making some them with the kids. Much easier than breaking out all of the messy dye!
I cut these little bunnies out of vinyl with my Silhouette CAMEO. If you don’t have one, maybe you could find some stickers to use. (The bunny design is from the Silhouette Online Store – assorted bunnies by Jamie Koay.)
Put the bunnies on some hard-boiled eggs.
Take a sharpie and make little dots around the sticker. Start close together and then make them further and further apart.
Peel the vinyl off and bam! You’ve got a bunny egg. You could even make some cute chickie ones or use the letters of your kids’ names. So many possibilities!
Such a fun and easy Easter egg decorating idea for the kids… if you trust them with a Sharpie.

April 16, 2014 at 9:59 pmHaha! Thanks, Lauren! Yeah, I pretty much use the same boring blank backdrops for all of my photos… So umm… yes, that’s what I was going for… a signature look! 😉
