Here are some of the eggs we made over the weekend. I mentioned these techniques in my post a few days ago. Pictured above are decoupage eggs. We just used a flower hole punch, patterned paper and school glue.

Marbleized eggs. Made by dyeing the eggs, then rolling them around in a pan with dye of another color mixed with oil.

Martha Stewart’s drying rack idea. I think that a cookie cooling rack would work just as well. You can see we used ric-rac on some of the eggs. Just wrap it around the egg and tie with pantyhose.

Aren’t these beautiful? Found these over on craftster. See the full post with instructions here.

Or these, from Design Mom, posted here in April 2007.

Of course Martha Stewart seems to have the most comprehensive collection of egg ideas. See links below.

• How to blow out an egg.
• How to make a really nifty drying rack.
• All kinds of egg inspiration.

I’m going to try some ideas this week and post some photos. I’ve just asked my husband to buy pantyhose (for making the eggs pictured above) on his run to the grocery store. He’s thrilled about that.
